You're A Football Jock. I'm just your Neighbor.

Wiggle those hips, You're a lady now

"Do you want to go shopping?" Charlene asked leaning against the door frame in Ali's room.

Ali raised a neatly plucked eyebrow in question, "Why so sudden? You hate shopping."

Charlene crossed her arm out of embarrassment, "Can you drive me or not?"

Ali smirked, "Alright but you gotta let me in your plan lil sis."

"It's not really a plan..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As they arrived at the mall, Ali turned to Charlene and said, "So that's your plan, to be more true to yourself?"

Charlene blushed as she opened the sleek black door of her sister's Lamborghini.

"Yeah."

Laughing, Ali got out of the car running fingers though her long blond hair.

Charlene stared at her older sister, she sort of understood why her sister was popular now. Ali had a body that could be compared to those pretty girls in Ads like Victoria secret or hell, maybe even playboy. Her facial features could rival Greek goddesses and her skin, oh god, her skin was a beautiful sun kissed bronze much like Mark's. Her fashion sense only made Ali more beautiful in the world's eyes.

Sighing, Charlene couldn't help but get a bit jealous. Why did all the 'pretty' gene end up with Ali?

"Come on, don't just stand there." Ali said as she walked ahead to the entrance of the mall not even bothering to wait for her little sister.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Charlene jogged after her sister.

Once upon entering the mall Charlene couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Everywhere she looked she saw groups of girls walk down, each holding at least three bags of clothes they bought with daddy's credit card.

Shoving her hands into her jean pockets she casted her eyes downward and walked next to Ali.

"Gosh, don't be such a pussy." Ali whispered in a tone of annoyance, rolling her eyes slightly.

Scowling, Charlene couldn't help but snap back at her sister, "I'm not being a pussy, you don't know how hard it is for me, the ugly duckling, being surrounded by beautiful people all the damn time."

Ali looked at her in the corner of her eyes, "There, you said it didn't you? You said "the ugly duckling" don't you think that means you'll be able to transform into something beautiful as well?"

Charlene stayed quiet, she felt bad that Ali always had to calm her down but she's a teenage girl and what teenage girls do is bitch about their looks all the time.

Damn you puberty and you too stupid hormones and periods.

"Anyways, lets go to that store first."

Charlene looked up to see where her sister was pointing at.

Oh god, Victoria's Secret.

"Do we have to go in there....?" She nervously shuffled her feet.

Ali sent her a glare before grabbing her wrist and dragging her in.

The strong smell of the perfumes hit Charlene with full force making her head spin a little.

"We should start out with underwear first!" Ali picked up a pair of neon green panties that said "Messy" with big letters on the back.

"What...? We don't have to do that I have tons of that kind of--of.... Stuff!"

"Honey, if you want to wear a cute pencil skirt you will need new underwear, you don't want people to see your pantie lines do you? And hey, if someone happens to get into your pants they'll see the cute panties."

Charlene stared at Ali in disgust. "No one is 'getting in my pants' Ali."

"Hey, you never know." Ali shrugged her shoulders as she grabbed a few pairs of regular bikini panties and thongs.

"Maybe this is a really bad idea."

Ali handed Charlene the Victoria shopping bag filled with panties, bras and some body sprays.

"Now on to the next shop!" Ali said clapping her hands together.

A few hours later and Charlene was about to collapse.

They've been through all of the stores in the mall. Twice.

In both of their hands were about 15 shopping bags and Charlene felt the sweat run down her face slowly.

"I understand why girls like shopping now, they lift weights as they go..." Charlene panted slightly, slouching as she sat on the large, red chair.

Ali only giggled as she stood up from the chair to head towards Panda Express to buy some food.

As Charlene watch the back of her sister disappear into the distance she let out a sigh and laid her head on her arms.

Sure, she has the clothes now but the main problem was that can she 'work' it? Charlene is a awkward penguin and last time she checked awkward penguins are far from sexy. Just plain awkward. That's all.

Wait! What the hell is she doing again?!

Charlene patted her cheek slightly and thought to herself, "CONFIDENCE IS THE KEY!"

Taking a deep breath she held it in for a while till she finally let it out.

Charlene never felt so new in her life, for once she was doing something she wants to do and no one can stop her.

"OMG, Jessica!" A rather high-pitched voice exclaimed.

Charlene raised an eyebrow, who in the world would scream 'omg' out in the open like that?

Peering over the bushes Charlene saw Jessica sitting down on a table near her's with her friends.

Jessica let out an angry sniff and said, "I just don't understand... Mark has been really distant from me recently!"

Charlene hid behind the bush and tried to listen in to what Jessica is saying.

"That probably because you're a monster bitch." Charlene thought to herself, rolling her eyes.

"It's because of that ugly ginger bitch, she's always getting in my way!" Jessica spitted out with hatred.

Charlene winced as she felt the words stab her. Her hair surely isn't ginger, it's a strawberry blonde!

"I'll crush her, just you guys wait and see." Jessica said before leaving to buy herself some starbucks.

Charlene bit her lip and felt the sweat start to develop on her forehead.

"Weel, shit." Was all she could shutter out.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long drive back to the house Ali dragged Charlene up the stairs to try on the clothes and make up they just bought.

"What should we try on first?" Ali said shuffling through the bags.

Charlene sat on the bed uncomfortably playing with the hem of her shirt. "I don't know... Whatever I guess."

Ali pulled out a pair of true religion jeans and a nice white tank top with lace on the bottom.

"Try it on!" Ali threw the clothes at Charlene.

Charlene stepped out of the bathroom and tried pulling on the shirt to make it longer before Ali slapped her hands away.

"Stop doing that, you look fine!"

Before Charlene could look at herself in the mirror Ali stopped her to do her make up and hair.

When she was done, Ali took a step back and looked at Charlene, admiring her handy work.

Charlene's hair slid down gracefully and landed on her shoulders.

"You look great!"

"You really think so?" Charlene looked at the mirror and her eyes widened.

"Oh my lord!" She said as she put her hands in front of her mouth.

Ali couldn't help but laugh, "You're not ugly honey, you're beautiful!"

"I want to cry but I don't want to ruin the make up...." Charlene said quietly.

"Don't be so over dramatic."
