Jeneya's POV
It's a bummer, Shawn didn't come today. I was so excited to see him and ask him properly about the prom and all. It's not that I don't trust Jayden, I just wanted to hear it from him . Putting that aside for a while, why does it seem that everyone is staring at me . Am I being paranoid right now? Whatever it is I'll just get to my class. Daisy was already inside reading a book when I reach the classroom. She was so focused on whatever she's reading that she didn't even notice me sitting down beside her . I wonder what could it be . I gently tap on her shoulder and call her name to get her attention .
" Ehh Jen! When did you get here? " She asked startled.
" I just got here . You're just too focused on your book to notice." I replied giving her a smile . I can't wait to tell her about Shawn.
" Ohh .. umm.. I don't know how to say this but ..umm.." She start stuttering making an awkward face . What's this girl thinking?
" What's wrong? You're making confused." I nudged her .
" Well .. you don't really know how to do makeup, do you ?" She started biting her lips.
I just started at her with a puzzled look.
" Okay let's do this ! " She take a deep breath.
" You're my best friend and I love you a lot. You know that right?" She asked all of a sudden.
I just nodded my head in confusion.
" Look I don't mean to be rude or anything but right now , you look horrible. Why are even doing make up if you don't how to ? You could've ask me how to it but look at what you did ." She said shaking her head.
" What do you mean ? I thought it looked pretty good . You can't see my dark circles at all . I spend 2 hours on this ." I replied confidently.
" You think it's pretty good? Really? You look worse than a 5 year old deciding to play with mummy's make up . I can do better make up with my left hand than that . My dog has better make up skills than you . To be entirely honest, you look like someone vomited make up all over your face . Should I continue?" She ranted on me judgement writing all over her face . I didn't know she could talk like that . She was always so sweet and soft spoken since we met. It's almost unbelievable that those mouth could spew that many insults so effortlessly. Strangely though , I don't feel any anger about her judgement. Maybe it's because she doesn't have a bad intention. Instead it's really funny to see my soft spoken best friend going on a rant . I let out a giggle just thinking about it .
" What are you giggling for ? I'm serious. Come ! ." She sighed pulling my hand .
" Wait ! Where are we going ? " I questioned.
" Skydiving." She replied bluntly rolling her eyes.
" Wait what? Where? " I asked again taken by suprise. I have no experience with skydiving. Also it's school hours . Can we really just leave like this ?
" Did you damage brain too? We are going to the bathroom to fix that make up of yours. Seriously I thought you're better than this ." She sighed again for the nth time today.
I decided to keep my mouth shut and follow her . It's not good to anger a pretty lady too much , she's so scary.
True to her word , Daisy fixed up my make up pretty well . It took her about 15 minutes but when she's finally done she took me to the mirror and I couldn't believe my eyes.
Staring back at me is a much prettier version of me . I didn't know I could look this good .
" I couldn't do much work because I don't have all my tools here but that's far better than what you did ." Daisy announced proudly.
"Daisy! How did you do this ? I look so pretty like this ." I exclamed hugging her .
" That's how you do make up dumbass. This is how everyone do make up . I thought you have that nerdy look because you like it but it turns out you just don't know ." She chuckled lightly.
" Of course not . Who wants to look ugly? I just can't help it . And I need the glasses because of my eyesight. Why would I want to be nerdy ? I'm not even a nerd . Just look at my grades, do you really think I'll barely pass my classes if I'm really a nerd ." I grumbled . She called me crazy earlier but jokes on her she's the one who thinks I willingly look ugly .
" Sweety! You're not ugly. In fact nobody's ugly. Some people prefer to be simple and wear no make up . Everyone have preference and I respect that. Not everybody cares about how they look and that's okay . Also I just transferred here a week ago . How do you suppose I know your grades? " She said in a matter fact tone.
" You just criticised my make up earlier though.." I argued.
" It's one thing if you prefer simple look but you clearly want the make up look and mess it up . That's a crime. I can't have talking my best friend wear clown make up , unless if you really want the clown look of course . Then I won't judge." She put it so innocently but her eyes are daring me to continue arguing. It's like they're telling me ' Do you really want to do this ?' . And the answer is clear, I don't. It's no point arguing further so I decided to change the subject.
" You said this is all you could do for now . Can you make me even prettier if you had all your tools ?" I asked curiously.
"You're already pretty . Make up only enhances your features and hide some imperfections but we can talk about that later . There's still a lot for you you to learn and we don't have much time to watch because of we don't hurry back , we'll miss history class . We don't want that , do we ? " She replied.
I agreed with her . I came especially excited for the class, it'll be a pity if we miss it.
But still I can't buy wonder how much prettier I can look. I actually want to have a fresh look for prom . I want to give Shawn a suprise.If my make up was really terrible as Daisy said , then I guess it's a good thing I didn't see Shawn today . It also explains the look I get on my way here and Jayden's reaction. He really wasn't messing with me after all . Why do I always assumed the worst of him? I really need to give him an apology. But I wonder why mom didn't say anything about it . She should know I'm doing it wrong. I guess it must be her revenge for wearing her makeups or maybe she didn't see anything wrong. It's really hard to read what my mom is thinking. Who knows what even goes on inside her head ? She always look so calm and collected even when she's scolding us or showing concern. I never saw her get mad and do stuff like shouting ,screaming. It's actually amazing how she control her emotions so well. She always greet us with a smile but I know it's impossible to be always happy. I could understand her a little as I grow up but it's still impossible to predict her actions. Dad is somewhat easier to read than mom but he didn't spend much time with us . So I barely know anything about my parents. The only I fully know about them is that both of them are really good parents and they gave us so much love . Somehow I'm content with that .
We reached the class just before it started. Miss Sullivan continued the chapter from where we left off this Wednesday. Any other day , I would already be all the way to the 18th century observing the scenario described in th e books but today I am occupied by another thought. This is the first time that I actually get distracted from a history class . I thought it was a impossible thing but here we are . I can't just stop thinking about prom night and how Shawn will react to my new look . After today, I'll become a girl deserving of dating the hottest guy in the whole school. I was worried about people saying that he took me out because of pity . But if I look really pretty and hot , everyone will think we're the prefect couple instead. I'm sure his ex girlfriend Mandy will be there too . I have to outshine her at all cost so that Shawn wouldn't even look at her. I'll show him how much better I'm than that girl. I don't why they broke up but it's my job to make sure that they never got back together. God has given me this chance and I'm not wasting it.
