Kelsi seemed to hate New York more each day. She had no friends. The only friend she thought she had was Tyler and she had not seen him since she went to the park with Elliot and his friends. Now spring break was almost over and she would start Elliot’s school in a week, so her mom took her shopping to buy clothes for the occasion.
They went shopping the Saturday before school started and Kelsi picked out a lot of capris and over-sized t-shirts. Her mother was not happy with this so she decided to sneak out that night and exchange the clothes Kelsi picked out for clothes that would get a guy’s attention. (Unlike other mothers she wants her daughter to have a BF so she will be glad she moved to New York.)
Kelsi woke up early on the first day of Albert Einstein High School. (Elliot’s school for you blondes out there.) She opened the bags of clothes except instead of seeing the clothes she saw mini skirts, halter tops, high heels, and all the hats she had bought were gone all that were there was three packs of hair scrunches, and barrettes.
“Mom!” she yelled running into her Mom’s room, “What did you do with my clothes? You changed all my clothes. How could you do this?”
“Honey, you need to show your self, you are pretty but you always hide yourself behind hats and baggy clothes.”
“Mom, why can’t you accept me for who I am?” she cried, “Am I not good enough for you? That’s how you make me feel when you do things like this to me. You make me feel like you want someone other than me.” She didn’t even wait for her Mom to respond she just ran back to her room. Sadly because all her other clothes were dirty Kelsi had to wear the clothes her mom picked out. She shifted through the clothes and picked out a blue tank top and a pair of tight jeans. She pulled on her flip flops instead of the high heels her mom bought. She didn’t have a hat so she let her hair just hang loosely she only put a hair clip to keep it out of her eyes. Then she went down stairs not sure if she was ready to face the day.
