Bella birthday is just like it is in the book.

1 month later/ Bella's POV

My face looked good. Mom got me a dermatologist to help with the acne. It was cleared and I had soft, pimple-free skin. Kim took me shopping each month because I was constantly losing weight. She also set somebody up to de-frizz my hair. It looked good. It was no longer tangled and nappy, frizzy hair. It now hung down in long, silky brown waves cascading down my back. The ends of my hair touched my middle of my back. I got ombre from brown to a gorgeous auburn. It was beautiful. Now my skin and hair looked good, and soon my body and my figure would follow. When I walked in to school the next day, all eyes were on me.

"OMG!" "You look good!" "Whoa!" "You're gorgeous!"

"Thanks," I said, smiling as I blushed.

"We all love your hair. I think you look hot," Morghyn said.

I blushed deeper.

Viola walked in and said, "Sit down and let class began." We sat down and listened to the lesson for today. After class, we gathered our things and walked home together. We didn't talk about much besides everyone's hair and skin. I walked through my front door.

7 months later/ Bella's POV

I was finally time for my last weighing with Phillip. My starting weight was 180. You could tell the difference because the clothes Kim bought me last month are too big. I am going shopping today for my final wardrobe. I had toned abs, legs, and arms, and a six-pack. My body now looked as good as my face. I looked hot. I was eating right and exercising. I walked downstairs to the exercise room.

Philip was waiting on me smiling. "Well, Bella you look good and fit. I also have a surprise for you," he said. "What?" I asked excitedly. "Well, you have been talking about getting a belly ring. If you've reached your goal of 130, you can get one," he said.

"Ok," I said. I really wanted at belly ring. Next month I would be 15, and I wanted one really badly. I stepped on to the scale. A few seconds passed, and they were agonizing. Then, the scale beeped. I looked down, and it read 115! I was so happy, I started jumping up and down like a child in a candy store. I jumped on Phillip and gave him a huge hug, and my impact made him stumble backward. He laughed and hugged me back.

"Go get dressed for school. This afternoon you will go shopping with Kim." He smiled and I returned the smile. I started to walk out of the gym.

"Wait," I said and turned around and looked at him.

He knew exactly what my question would be, and with a faint smile he said, "A guy that does piercing will be here when you get home from school."

Whooping, I ran upstairs to find some clothes that I can fit into. The only ones I found were some blue basketball shorts and a white t-shirt. Then, I walked out the front door and ran to school. I walked into class grinning from ear to ear. Everyone turned and looked at me in my baggy clothes. Class had not started yet. I sat down as the girls started to surround my desk.

Morghyn asked, "Girl why are your clothes so baggy?"

I lifted up my shirt and showed them my toned 6-pack abs. They gasped. They knew I had started to lose weight, but they didn't know I was losing that much. I laughed at them.

Azalea said with a smile, "Bella you know we have to go to the beach and show off your new body off." They all nodded in agreement.

"How do we get there? The beach is 2 hours away by car," Kayla asked. "Wait, Scarlett don't you have a sister that is 19?" Morghyn asked.

"Yeah, so?" said Scarlett.

"You dumbass," I said. We all burst out with laughter.

"Oh, so she can be our adult supervision," she realized. Then Viola walked in and it was time to start class. We agreed to continue this conversation after class.

After class

So when do we want to go?" asked Azalea.

"Um, can we go on my birthday?" I asked.

"Yeah, that would be great, we could have a birthday at the beach!" exclaimed Alexandria

After that was settled, I said, trying to spark a new conversation, "Guess what."

"What," Alexandria said.

"I'm getting my belly button pierced!" I said excitedly

"For real?!" Morghyn said, gasping.

"Yeah," I replied.

"When?!" Azalea asked.

"As soon as I get home," I said.

"Damn, Bella you're lucky. I wish my parents would let me get a belly ring," Scarlett said.

"I know, right, my parents would kill me if they knew I got a belly ring," Morghyn said.

It was just me and Scarlett as we walked home in silence. I said bye as I ran up the walkway. I saw extra car in our driveway, most likely belonging to the piercing guy. I was so excited! I pushed open the door and saw a dude in the living room. I knew who he was because he had all these different piercings all over his body.

"Hey, Bella. My name is Nick, and Philip called me here to pierce your belly button. You ready?"

"Definitely!" I said excitedly. He laughed.

" Okay," he said, "sit here." He pointed to a chair. I sat down. He pulled out his tools. He plugged it into the wall and pierced my belly button. When he drove the needle through, I cried out in pain. It hurt like hell.

But it was fun in a weird way.

He said, "Okay, now pick out two rings."

I picked out a black diamond and a 20 carat regular hanging diamond. He gave me some instructions, and I put in my regular diamond after he left. Then Kim came in, grabbed my hand and dragged me to the door and into the limo. We drove to the biggest mall in Jacksonville. We shopped from 4-10 p.m. We bought everything.

Crop tops, tank tops, muscle tanks, peplum tops, tube tops, skater skirts, pencil skirts, ultra-skinny jeans, bandeau tops, booty shorts, short shorts, sweaters, sweetheart dresses, sleeveless and strapless dresses, sundresses, bikinis, sunglasses, jewelry, shoes of all kinds, purses, and spandex workout clothes.

We went to lots of regular, cute stores like Forever21, WetSeal, Charlotte Russe, Aeropostale, Victoria's Secret and etc, but we also bought a lot of designer clothes like Prada, Gucci, Jimmy Cho, Polo, Coco Chanel, Armani, LuluLemon, etc.

I think we spent over $5000. We had to have all the bags shipped to our house. It was crazy. But I still could not wait until my birthday.

One month later/ Scarlett's POV/ Bella's Birthday

We all were at my house in our bikinis, waiting on the birthday girl. It was scorching hot out here, and we were just standing here waiting. Then we saw her walk out of my house. Her hair was pulled back into a messy braided top knot with two brown-auburn waves of hair on each side, designer white sunglasses with floral printed legs perched on her head, expensive, strappy white sandals with floral straps on her feet and a big, fluffy white towel wrapped around her slim body. "About time!" we all screamed over to her. She looked at us and giggled as she ran across her lawn to my driveway. The limo was already here, and my big sister, Melody, and our bodyguard, Lars, already claimed their seats. We all crawled in, and then we were on our way to the beach.

At the beach

Melody pulled up at the beach. Bella got our first and took off her towel. Her bikini was a bandeau-style floral print. Her diamond belly ring shone in the sun, and her flat stomach and 6-pack was clearly visible.

I was jealous. I could tell the other girls were, too.

The rest of us stepped out. I had on a regular gold bikini, Morghyn had a pink one, Alexandria had on a red one, and Azalea had a yellow one. Melody had a purple bikini.

The guys were gawking at us, especially at Bella, and the girls were all jealous.

We walked down to the beach and sat up our umbrellas and chairs. We slathered on suntan lotion and laid back and tanned while Lars, our bodyguard, stood beside our chairs, watching for danger.

We saw five boys began to approach us, and Lars stiffened.

They all said, "Hey" and smiled. We returned the greeting, smirking.

One said, "I'm Thomas, this is Joe, Kevin, that's Nick and last but not least, Robert."

"Oh, okay," Bella said, "I'm Bella, this is Azalea, Alexandria, that's Morghyn and that's Scarlett. Nice to meet you."

"Do you wanna go get in the water?" the one called Nick asked.

"No thanks," we all replied. But they kept asking, and we kept saying no.

Then Lars stepped between us and said scarily, "The ladies said no, so leave." We all laughed, they looked like they were about to piss in their swimming trunks, it was funny. Then the sun started to set, so we packed up and left.

At home/Bella's POV

The lights were off, so I figured no one was home. I walked in the kitchen and I screamed. Renee and Phil were having sex in the kitchen. They both looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I laughed and decided I was not staying here anymore after this school year ended. I went online and found a boarding school in Volterra, Italy. I could leave after school was over. I really could not wait. I was going to give them their space.
