Stringed

Chapter 2

Cleo's P.O.V

The twins picked out a very revealing outfit and it just wasn't me. We went to the hair and nail salon at the mall which was a blast and I finally got my hair straightened and colored. I kinda regret it and miss my curls but it was for the best. goodbye rough curls and hello gorgeous healthy and silky hair!

I figured I would at least add a bit of makeup. I took out my makeup case that I never used. it belonged to my mom and she's had it since she was a teenage girl. I opened it and I could smell her bottle of Japanese cherry blossom perfume make its way up to my nose. I began to tear up remembering staring at it when I was little. It would always just be sitting on her blue dresser untouched. I would even try to sneak and get a little to put on my wrists but always get caught and mom would take it away but sometimes she would even spray a little on me just so I could leave it alone.

I picked up the pretty bottle and carefully sat it down on my dresser. I looked inside the case and looked at all the different kinds of make up and came across some really nice colors to match my outfit. I took out some teal eyeliner and shadow and some charcoal black liquid eyeliner for my eyes, a chocolate brown eyebrow pencil for my eyebrows and candy pink lipstick for my lips and some black mascara.

I started with my eyebrows and just darkened them so they would look a bit thicker and fuller then I took some teal eyeliner and put some on my lower water lines and used black eyeliner to create a sixties cat eye. I put a little teal shadow on my lower lids and a shiny white shadow on the inner corners of my eyes. lastly I added my candy pink lipstick and some mascara.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked very different.  I liked it a lot but it was kinda scary at the same time. I never wore makeup and yet it was so easy to apply.

I always watched my mom apply makeup and it looked difficult and it seemed as though it takes way to long.

I put on my outfit which was half bleach high waisted shorts and a plain white tight crop shirt with a icecream cone on it and the ice cream matches my teal makeup, I wore white low cut levis and my nails were painted the color of my lipstick, I also got my hair colored, It was no longer brown intead it was black at the roots and the rest is a gold blonde color. I definitely look different.

when I got home Mariam almost had a heart attack at my hair but I didnt care. She went to bed early after dinner probably hoping it was a dream gone wrong, Mariam doesn't believe in nightmares.

I heard a car horn outside and it was the twins, I made sure I had on my neklace from my parents and grabbed my flower headband and some big pearl earrings, I grabbed my phone and keys and threw them in my big brown bag and turned out the lights.

"Now, how to get out of here." I asked myself.

all the doors and windows have alarm systems on them and Mariam has bars over my windows. The only way out is her window where there is no bars or alarm systems. It's either I go out that way and get to her balcony or break the alarm system in the basement. I thought about it for about two seconds before deciding to take Mariam's room.

If I break the alarm system it would probably call the cops and shut down but If I go through Mariam's room then theres a greater chance of getting out but also a chance of getting caught. I grabbed my jacket and put it on and slowly opened my room door. I tip toed through the hallway down to Mariam's room and her door was slightly cracked. I peeked in to hear her snoring and out cold. I walked in and Mariam kinda flinched a little scaring me senseless. I cracked Mariam's door the way it was before and headed to the window. I couldn't see very well because it was dark and suddenly I tripped over the cord to her fan sending it flying off her dresser and onto the hard wood floor make a lound BANG!. I got down onto the floor behind her bed and covered my mouth when she shot up scared. The lights came on and I slowly went under the bed. Mariam looked at the fan on the floor puzzled as to how it got knocked down but she eventually just picked it up and sat it back on her dresser and turmed off the lights then went back to bed it wasn't too long before she was back to snoring mode and I could carry on my mission.
