forget about the guys and wear something that I
really want to wear without having to worry about hiding my
body.
    “ No” I say
firmly and roll my eyes when she pouts and gives me puppy dog
eyes.

Chapter Four
     
    Walking into
the café I notice that Jason’s best friend is eyeing me curiously I
turn my head and approach Sophie’s table she looks up at my
approach and looks surprised.
    “ Why are you
blushing?” she demands amused.
    “ Umm … I ...
eh ... need your help with … something” I stammer as I sit down and
nod my greeting to Matt and a few of his friends.
    “ Okay, what’s
going on?” she asks giving me her full attention now I have her
interest piqued.
    “ I need to go
out tonight”
    “ Right ...
what’s that got to do with me? You want me to come with you?” I can
see the confusion on her face and take a deep breath for what I’m
about to do.
    “ Yeah but I
wanted you to dye my hair for me”
    “ What, Why?”
she asks whilst looking at my blonde hair and mindlessly picking up
a strand and running it through her fingers.
    “ JasonandIbrokeup” I rush out so it sounds like one
word.
    ” What did he
do? And what’s that got to do with you dying your hair?” she demands
    “ Umm well, he
kind of knows now… so I want to stop the secret before he does and
I figured …” I’m cut off by her extremely loud squeal in my ear. I
watch amazed as she jumps up from her seat and starts dancing on
the spot clapping excitedly.
    “ This is going
to be the best night ever, you have no idea how long I have waited
for this” she squeaks still dancing.
    “ What are you
talking about?” Matt asks watching Sophie looking slightly confused
but unable to hide his grin at her obvious happiness.
    “ I’ll tell you
later, I have to go” Sophie rushes to explain and grabbing my hand
at the same time pulling me out of the café, I manage a feeble wave
in the direction of the table and blush again at the attention we
are getting from all the other students.

    “ I can’t
believe you’re finally doing this” Sophie exclaims squeezing my
hand in the back of the taxi. I can’t help but smirk at her, after
hours of shopping, pampering, dying my hair and then choosing the
perfect outfit and getting ready I just want this to be over. My
normally pulled up into a ponytail light blonde hair is now a
chocolate brown with red highlights and pulled over my shoulder in
loose messy curls giving it a bed head look. I have finally
switched the baggy clothes that hid my figure so well that I was
always known as the chubby plain girl , to a black short sleeve blouse that is tied into a know
just above my belly button, the first three buttons undone showing
a bit a cleverage and paired with a black and white plain skater
skirt, setting off my outfit are black ankle boots with a four inch
heel decorated with silver studs. To use Sophie’s words I look like
a bad girl that’s waiting to find some sexy trouble I can get into.
I just hope it works.
     
    We get out of
the taxi at JD’s bar, a favourite among our fellow students that
often frequent it most nights, Luke is waiting for us outside the
door, his jaw drops when he sees me, making Sophie giggle and once
again squeak about how amazing this is going to be. Taking a deep
breath we open the door and head inside. I spot Matt at the bar
with a few of his friends.
    “ Hey baby”
Sophie shouts over the music to him, I watch holding my breath to
see what his reaction will be because even though it has been hard
we have kept my hidden figure a secret from him, I’m relived and
can’t help but smile when he turns and starts making his way over
to Sophie, he stops when he sees me and simply chuckles and shakes
his head.
    “ I assume we
will be seeing you out a lot more now then” he smirks at me as he
grabs Sophie into a hug.
    “ Something
like that” I mutter while trying not to blush at all the
appreciative looks I am getting from the men in the
