Chapter 9: Glass Slipper

Clara's POV

"Is he always like that?" I asked Danielle who is busy scanning the shop for jeans.

"Who?" she asked without even bothering to look up at me.

"Luke."

That got her attention. She quickly looked up and scanned my face for God knows what.

"Why do you ask?" Danielle finally said.

"Well....Uhmmm.....You know....Curiosity." I mumbled. This is uncomfortable.

"Hmm. Luke is like a little brother to me. Luke's a nice guy. He's just stressed."

"I know he's stressed. Everyone is. It's just that we keep fighting and it seems like we will never agree on even just a small thing. I even have to make him swear for a TPP just to make it easier for both of us." I explained to her.

"You made him swear to a what?" she looked at me again with a confused look on her face.

"A TPP? Temporary Peace Pact?"

"Oh. Ok. A Temporary Peace Pact." She smiled. "It has a nice ring to it."

After a few look around the shop, I think we're ready to try them on.

"Now, let's get you to the fitting room and try these on." She said as she thrust all of the clothes she's carrying onto me. I almost fell with the weight of all those clothes. Whew!

"Aren't these a bit too much for just one flight?" I asked them both.

"No. You have to have wardrobe changes every now and then. Long flights make you look really gross. But not to worry. With your naturally gorgeous face and my fashion expertise. You'll be the greatest girlfriend of 5 Seconds Of Summer."

"It's not really true, you know." I told her as a matter of fact.

"Sorry!" Danielle said to me. "You'll be the greatest FAKE girlfriend. Now, come on. Get in the fitting room. We're running out of time." She said to me as she shoved me inside a stall.

I sigh. Oh dear. This is gonna be rough.

At the airport bathroom

I touched my face and see that the girl in my reflection did the same. Is that me? How did I look so beautiful? In that moment, I looked like my mom.

Danielle saw that I was staring at myself and smiled to herself.

"Yup. I knew that with proper care you would look even hotter. Luke's not going to know what hit him. Come on. We should go. They're waiting." She said as she carried her bags and walked out.

I was still shaken up from the 'transformation'.

"Stop it, Clara. Pull yourself together. It's just the new clothes. And the make-up. It's still you in there. Ok. Here we go." I say to myself as I grab my new handbag (courtesy of my personal shopper, Danielle) and my Ray Ban dark shades ("for camera flashes" Danielle explained). I made one last look at myself then opened the door.

I walked to where the others were at slowly chanting "I will be fine. I will not mess up." over and over again.

There they are. Sitting together waiting to board the plane. Liz was on her phone probably talking to management.

Anyway, Calum, Ashton, Michael and Luke are joking around. Danielle has made herself comfortable already by listening to her iPod and reading a magazine.

I was just standing there looking at them when Michael saw me.

"You guys. Look. It's Clara." he stopped them from what they were doing and made them look at me. Suddenly I felt so conscious about how I look.

They were all looking at me with shocked expressions. I blushed. Luke's mouth was hanging open and it feels so weird.

"I'll have to call you back." Liz said then hung up on the phone.

"Wow. Clara, you look stunning." Ashton said to me.

"Great job, Danielle." Calum slapped Danielle's knees to get her to stop reading her magazine for a moment.

"Clara. You look amazing." Michael said to me.

He smiled at me. Michael said I looked amazing. AAAH!!

I have never told this before but I kind of have a huge crush on Michael. I mean I am completely a Michael Clifford-girl. I like him because he's just so funny and silly and he makes me laugh. Plus he's so alluring and gorgeous. sigh

All of them gave compliments except Luke who still has his mouth open. What is his problem anyway? Why the sour mood whenever I talk to him? And he keeps blaming this whole incident on me! Ok. I admit it was partly my fault but if it wasn't for me, they couldn't have had this plan. If I rejected their offer then what would they do? How will they fix this without me? God, he's annoying.

Anyways, so they all commented on how great I looked and how Danielle is a genius. After a few minutes, I find myself joining their fun and just hanging, you know? Turns out they are really a bunch of nice and down-to-earth kind of people. It was really fun hanging out with them until we were boarding the plane to London.

Luke was quiet the whole time since my 'transformation'. He kept his headphones on until all of us were asleep.

We woke up and had breakfast which consists of hot waffles with fruits and smoked bacon. Man. Traveling first class is goooooooood.

Then I realized something. Finn! My dog! I completely forgot about him! And Leo! I gotta call Leo what happened. Oh My God. I bet he's worried about me. My phone's not even here. I have to borrow one. Oh but how am I going to call Leo. We're on an airplane.

Danielle saw my worried expression. "What's wrong?"

"I forgot to call Leo." I blurted out.

"Is that your boyfriend? You didn't tell us you have boyfriend! Clara!"

"No no no! Leo is not my boyfriend. He's my best friend. He doesn't know what happened to me. I have to call him." I told Danielle who is now sagging with relief.

"Oh. Good. You scared me. I thought you had a boyfriend because that would have been messed up. Anyway, you can call him when we land soon."

"But what about Finn?"

"Oh my God. You HAVE a boyfriend."

"Danielle! I don't have a boyfriend, okay? Calm down. Finn is my dog. I forgot about him. I have to call Leo to take care of Finn." I explained to her.

"You really have to talk way more clearer. I almost had a heart attack with you having a boyfriend. That would mess up the WHOLE plan."

"And you have to stop assuming that every boy I say is my boyfriend." I smile at her. I have a feeling we are going to be good friends.
