Melissa Responds

A few minutes into the class, Amber heard Melissa whisper her name. *She heard me!* she immediately thought. Amber's head turned around and looked in Melissa's direction, and that's when the "real" Amber got a shock. Melissa was now a Goth. Her long blond hair had become long black hair, her tanned skin had become pale, her sexy pink make-up had become gothic black make-up, besides her ears she now had piercings in her nose and lip, her tight pink T-shirt had become a tight black T-shirt (with a heavy metal band printed on the front), her short denim mini-skirt had become a short leather miniskirt, her pink 4" heels were replaced with black knee-high lace-up boots with 4-inch stacks, and on her legs were fishnet stockings. The other girls around her (the ones who used to be best friends with both Melissa *and* Amber) looked at the "new" Goth girl with disgust. Melissa smiled at Amber. "Are you going to Steve's party?" "Of course," Amber replied. *Why are people **changing**?* Amber thought in her head. *First me, then Steve, then that Nadine girl, and now **Melissa**?*
