Fives Steps

Chapter One

"OMG! Ali! Look at him! He's so freakin' cute" I said as I pointed at my cellphone with Benedict's picture on it.

"Diana, you've been talking about him all day, try to shut up okay?" she said while putting on her make up.

"What do you mean? You've only been awake for like three hours" I said while rolling my eyes.

"Well it feels like forever" she said while focusing mainly on putting on her eyeliner.

"Ugh, I don't care, but you've got to admit, he's the cutest guy ever" I said excitedly.

She just ignored me and carried on putting more and more make up.

I just sat there on the bed, looking through pictures of him. Ben was my bestest friend before highschool teared us apart. He became popular, while I'm here looking like a potato.

"Five steps" Ali said out of nowhere.

"What did you say?" acting like I didn't hear her.

"I'll give you five steps" she grinned

"What do you mean?" I looked at her with confusion

Finally after finishing her make up she turned to face me.

"Five steps on how to make Ben be your bed slave" she said with an evil smile.

I chuckled at her and threw a pillow to her face while she quickly dodged.

"Hey! Not the make up" she said. "I'm giving you five steps on how to make Ben fall in his knees for you. What do you say sis?"

I looked at her with a suspecting look. "Are you okay? You never give me advice. Are you sick or something?" I said in a joking manner.

"I'm serious! Look, do you want him or not?" she said with a straight face.

"Well, of course, bu-" before I could finish she interrupted me and said "Good. Let me tell you the first one"

I nodded with a huge smile on my face.

She stood up and went to her closet. She pulled out a cute red cropped top.

"Hold this" she said as she gave me the top.

She then pulled out a pair of shorts that can barely cover my legs.

"You wear those? It looks unbelievably short" I said

"Well that's why it's called shorts, sis" she said while handing me the pair of shorts.

"Try these on" she smiled.

"Are you kidding me? it's too short. And you haven't told me what step one is yet"

"Okay then, step one is to look hot. You have to catch his eye to get him to like you"

"Fine" I said as I walked in the comfort room to change.

I slipped into the cropped top that barely covered my stomach and into the pair of shorts that I guess could even be as short as my underwear.

I stepped out of the comfort room to find Ali grinning at me.

"OMG! You look almost as hot as me! Next up, make up" she said with a huge smile on her face.

"Make up? Are you serious? I can't even put on lip gloss without messing up" I said.

"That's why I'm here, dummy. I'm here to change you" she said in a joking manner.

"Okay fine, as long as it will get Ben to notice me" I said.

Aliyah pulled out a tube from her purse that I assumed to be is foundation.

it's been one hour and she's still putting make up on my face.

"How much longer?" I said

"Shut your mouth, it'll ruin your matte lip" I literally have no idea what a matte lip is.

Finally, she's finish. She smiled at me and handed me a mirror

"Woah? Is that me?" I couldn't believe my eyes. I look so different.

"You look so beautiful! We need to take a selfie" she said as she pulled out her phone and snapped a photo.

I stood infront of the mirror to see a completely different person.

"Wow" I whispered.
