6I slammed my locker shut and was greeted by the face of...Danny.
"Oh my God! Can you please just go away?" He did the puppy eyes, but I just shoved him into a locker. I am Stephanie. And after 2 years of
him begging, I still wouldn't go out with Danny.

It all started when I went to England for a year when I was 15(and just starting tenth grade).
I made some friends: Dex, a tomboyish brunette who everyone went to for advice, Serena, a chic blonde with a passion for fashion who
could give you your signature color no matter who you were in 2 seconds, and Kelly, a sharp tongued, light brown haired girl with something
to say. Always.
For my birthday that year, they decided to give me a makeover and buy me a new wardrobe. Dex got me an appointment
with her big sister, Ellysa, who was 22 and worked in a salon. Serena took the money they'd all chipped in and
went to the 3 best stores she could think of, and Kelly cleaned out my closet. When they were all done for the day,
They put the clothes in my closet and I was arranged to sleep over at Dex's house, along with the other girls.
The next morning, they shoved me into a pair of baggy jeans and a yellow tank top.
I put on my converse all stars and we were out the door.

Ellysa walked into the room where my friends were waiting for the finished product.
They all cautiously walked into the room that I'd been done over in and gasped.
My now straight hair was even blonder than before with highlights, and it ended just at my shoulders and was layered.
I was FINALLY wearing eyeliner, and a baby blue shirt that said "Angel" that Serena, Kelly and Dex had picked out that accented my eyes.
I finally opened my eyes and looked into the mirror...
and screamed!
"Oh my God...is that me?!" I exclaimed.
Dex Serena and Kelly smiled.
"Group hug!" shouted me randomly, and we all gathered together in a hug.
"Thanks you guys!" I squealed.
And I was very happy and surprised when I got home and found my closet with new clothes in it, leading to another round of squealing.
Since while I was in England I was home schooled, no one really noticed. Well, no one really actually recognized me. It was quite fun.
And I was happier than I'd ever been.

"Come back soon, Stephanie!" read the sign that Dex, Serena and Kelly had made that I could still see from the airplane.
It wasn't in the sky yet, of course. But it would be soon. I waved one last time out of the window and settled back into the seat.
Jonathon would be picking me up and I thought it would be fun, considering he probably wouldn't recognize me. But first a little nap...
_
I suddenly woke up and the plane was landing. I shifted in my seat and watched us get closer to the ground until we landed.
Soon after I was off and looking for Jonathon. With my new makeover, I knew Jonathon wouldn't recognize me, but other than that,
I was just wearing regular clothes: blue jean bell bottoms, a black cropped tee that had cherries on it, and light blue converse all stars.
My hair was up in a simple twist.
Suddenly I saw Jonathon. He looked pretty much the same, with his 5'8 frame(I myself was only 5'6) and spiked brown hair
with hazel eyes. Standing next to him were 2 guys and 2 girls. I recognized the girls. One had brown short layered hair
and was around 5'5. It was definitely Ducky. The other one was 5'7 and had light straight brown hair. Yup. Kittie.
The guys both had brown, spiked hair and brown eyes, but they were very different looking. One was about 6'0, with
brown eyes and a smirk on his face. The other was maybe 5'7, and had a much nicer face...they both looked awfully familiar.
I walked up to Jonathon and smiled. He didn't even notice me. He was looking around franticly, probably looking for me.
The taller one was staring at me. Still smirking.
"Ummm...?" I said. Jonathon glanced down at me and then down at his watch.
"Yah, did you want something?" he asked bluntly.
"Jonathon! Don't be rude!" scolded Ducky.
"Yes mommy." said Jonathon sarcastically.
"Well, your kind of taking me home..." I said and smiled at him.
"Huh? Look, I dunno who you think you are, but-"
"OMG!" Shouted Ducky.
"NOODLE!" yelled Kittie. Aren't nicknames just great?
"The one and only," I said with a smile. The tall one stood there with his mouth hanging open. The short one just stood
there smiling. And Jonathon whispered, "Wow."
"Geez I'm not that great looking...but I am hungry."
"Me too!" said Kittie.
"PIZZA!" Kittie, Ducky and I shouted. Old habit.
So we walked to the van where Ducky's older brother, Nick was waiting(He'd moved back with Ducky and her mom and sister that year).
Jonathon was sitting in the front seat, next to Nick, the 2 guys were sitting in the seats behind them, and Ducky, Kittie and I were
sitting in the very back.
"So...who are those guys anyway?" I asked.
"Who?"
"The ones sitting in front of us, dope!"
Ducky looked surprised, and Kittie said,
"You don't remember them? England must have sucked your brains out." She continued very slowly, as though talking to a child,
"That's Danny," pointing to the tall one, "And that's Ben." She pointed to the short one.
Right one cue, Danny turned around, as did the other one.
"Talking about me?" he said with an annoying(well, tome)smile.
"Yes, you've turned so ugly she couldn't even remember you." said Ducky.
"Aw, you don't remember me?!" He said, turning his eyes on me.
"Oh, of course I remember you. Your Danny Alexavier Dallington, an annoying person who appears to be adorable, but of course
all of his girl friends dumped him when they learned he was a two-faced twit." I smiled sweetly at him. He turned around quickly.
I laughed.

He's sort of backed off since then, except for every other day when i try to avoid him cuz he's asks me out. Isn't
it obvious I'm going to say no? Hmm...poor kid. Oh well, got to go. I'm going to be late for my date with Ben.
