Belle Pov.
"Belle, hurry up, we're going to be late!" my best friend Audrey shouted and sounded her horn many times.
"Dad, we're going, and I could be home late tonight because there's a program at school," I said before quickly kissing him on the cheek.
"Alright, just be careful and don't walk in the dark by yourself!" my father request.
I shook my head and hurried out of our house.
Aside from the long skirt and floral blouse, who would attempt to harm me?
I had a thick glass covering my face, and everyone knew I was the sheriff's daughter.
Audrey grimaced as she looked over my entire body. "Oh, goodness Belle! We're in junior class, but you still haven't changed your style of clothes! How can you get a boyfriend!" Audrey said.
“You're too loud, start the engine, and let's go...we're going to be late!” I complained “ And Audrey, you speak like you already have a boyfriend...You forget we're simply the same N.B.S.B
No Boyfriend Since Birth
!” I laughed at her as I adjusted my thick glasses.
Before she started the car, Audrey frowned, "That's why I do my make-over...So that will be eliminated from N.B.S.B!" She grinned and drove the car.
I turned to face the car window while turning up the radio because Audrey was still lecturing me.
——*——
Stanford University...
In the distance, the happy mood at the university can be seen.
The students are eager to meet with their classmates,
A few couples have separated because one partner went on vacation.
''Hopefully, our class will include fresh transfers! So, we don't only interact with Reid's group until graduation!” Audrey signed as she picked up her bag.
I looked at Audrey, ''Why, Have you moved on from how you feel about Reid?" I asked Audrey with a smile as I stepped out of the car.
I've given up on Reid” Audrey frowned, “He's too in love with his cheerleader!" Her answer is as she walks closer to me. Audrey's grin vanished when she witnessed Reid cuddling up to his longtime girlfriend, Laura, who was the leader of the cheering squad at Stanford University.
"Oh, I thought you gave up? Why is your snout so long?" I giggle as I walk side by side with her.
'Let's not talk about that moron! It will just ruin my lovely day! Audrey walked fast while wrapping her hand over my arm, pulling me up.
Along the way, we passed a group of guys, “Yow, nerd! How was your vacation?” My classmate Carl shouted at me and made his usual fun of me.
“Hey moron, Belle's vacation is fun and meaningful! How about you? I'm sure you didn't do anything but grow your muscles. But I think you forgot, you also needed to nourish your brain!" Audrey's answer while filling me away.
The area was filled with laughter, which abruptly ceased as a result of Carl's stern look at his friends. He is feared by everyone, but Audrey does not appear to be one of them.
"Thank you and It's a good thing Carl is head over heels for you!!! Because if not, I'm sure we won't make it to our first class, and we'll deliver to the infirmary!" I said to Audrey.
As she opened the door to our classroom, Audrey let go of her grip on me and looked at me with wide eyes. "What are you trying to say? Has the moron Carl also affected your brilliant brain?" she asked.
I enter the room first while laughing at Audrey. Carl's affection for Audrey was known to every Stanford student. “I don't know if you're numb... or you just don't know,” I said as I sat at the far end of the classroom.
“Forget Carl and let's focus on what we're going to do at the welcoming party tonight!” Audrey drew her bench nearer to me with excitement.
"What are you thinking?" I asked as I listened to her attentively.
"I'll give you a makeover for the party tonight, and then let's look for the ideal date,” Audrey whispers to my ears.
It seemed I had been poured into cold water when I heard her plan. I scowled and yanked Audrey away, "Stop it!" I'm not planning on getting a boyfriend!” I closed my eyes after slouching, placing my head on the table, and covering it with a book.
Even so, Audrey was certain about her idea and didn't let up until I gave my agreement.
Although it was only the first day of classes, the welcoming party delayed the start of the regular classes. To prepare for the event, the teachers sent everyone home early.
I was immediately taken to Audrey's home. And she did give me a makeover in accordance with her plan.
"Try this one..." Audrey commanded while giving me the dress she picked from her wardrobe.
I go to the bathroom and force myself to put on the dress. Due to a lack of interest, I didn't even peek at my reflection in the mirror out of boredom.
As soon as I exited the bathroom, Audrey screamed, "Bestie! You look gorgeous!" Since I'm not wearing my glasses, I can't see myself when Audrey shows me in the mirror.
"Do you want me to die in shame?" I complained to Audrey as I pulled on the crumpled shroud that covered my breast.
“Oh my gosh, you're so conservative!” Audrey muttered while looking for a dress that would pass my old fashion taste.
"Try this one, "Audrey handed over a black dress.
I initially looked at the dress. When I noticed that the dress had off-shoulder sleeves, I stopped myself from complaining. But when I saw Audrey's dark face, I didn't continue and rushed straight to the restroom to try the dress on.
When I came out of the bathroom to complain again, Audrey preceded me in speaking.
"That's my most conservative dress, and I've given all the outdated clothing in my closet to the needy!?''Audrey exclaimed.
I forced myself to agree. Audrey also wanted to take my glasses off, but I no longer let her.
"If you take off my glasses, I'd rather not go to the event since I'm sure I won't see anything!" I plead as I snatch my glass from Audrey.
"Then we should dispose of your old fashion glasses before the regular class starts!!!" Audrey states.
I frowned as I adjusted my glasses before sitting on Audrey's bed.
While watching Audrey, I felt drowsy. So I closed my eyes first to fall asleep.
