8.

“Now, when we’re at the party and a guy approaches you…” My cousin was doing my makeup while we were talking about tips to interact with boys. I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to go to that party and talk with other teenagers but I was willing to try. Nevertheless, I must say I was afraid of being made fun of but I was hundred per cent sure my cousin would never let me get away from that plan.

“A guy will approach me?!” I said disbelieving. Me? The nerd? Talking to guys?! SINCE WHEN?! Okay Juliet, calm down. You knew this day will come. You have to admit it’s better to be desirable than be rejected. Well, I didn’t know if I was desirable or not, I only had put a black tight dress with small grey stripes as a pattern. I also wore black tights and a pair of grey platform heels with a skull and flower pattern. A bit rocker you may think, and I agree but I also admit I was gorgeous! I never noticed how skinny and pretty my body was before I wore those clothes.

“Well, duh! Juliet, you’re beautiful! Why wouldn’t a guy want to talk to you?” I smiled like a happy kid. “Now answer me: he approaches you, says hi and you...?”

“Say hi and ask him how he’s doing?”

“No!” Did she just slap me?! I mean, what did I say wrong? “You ignore him.”

“Why would I do that?” She had an evil smile in her face like she was a witch doing a spell perfectly.

“To make him want you more, silly!” I finally understood. This all thing of being a hot girl was very confusing. All those rules and ways to act. We had to make guys like us but we had to ignore them and treat them like our dogs. Worse, like slaves.  If they were willing to do everything we wanted then we could be nice to them. Weird, right?! “You’re ready and hot!” Emma finished my makeup and looked at me with the biggest smile on her face. “I believe I did an amazing job here!” Then she step aside letting me look at my reflexion in the mirror. Wow. No, seriously, WOW! My face was covered with foundation that hid all my pimples and spots. My eyes had a pink and purple Smokey effect which was brought out by the black eyeliner. Finally, my lips were red, sexy red. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

The clock rang and my heart stopped. I didn’t tell you yet but my cousin was dying my hair! Black! I thought she was turning me into a goth or something else. But I was different; I was like a wild rocker girl. I was a new Juliet. A new improved Juliet! And I loved it!

However, I wasn’t quite sure if I was going to like my new hair. Emma uncovered my hair then she washed it, cut it and at last she dried my hair. I didn’t know she was so talented and I was afraid of ending up bald but instead of that she made me look beautiful!

“And we’re finally done!” She said with a smile. “You look gorgeous, Juls!” I looked myself in the mirror.

“Wow.” It was the only sound that came from my mouth. I couldn’t believe it. Who knew I was done with being a nerd in only one day! I still had to face my mother and tell her I was happy with myself because I definitely was!

“Okay, so why don’t you stay there admiring my amazing work while I’m getting dressed.” And she went to prepare herself.

I was finally ready to live a life different from what I had been living all my life and I couldn’t wait to get start. But first I had to pass my first and final test: go to the party!

Help?!
