I SWEAR I COULDN'T LOVE YOU MORE THAN I DO RIGHT NOW,

AND YET I KNOW I WILL TOMORROW.

You just hoped to pass the school year with maybe a few friends and next to no attention. .

But boy you were so wrong...

[ School Morning ]

"OH ME GOD!!!!"

The makeup and Hair team looked proudly at you as you stared at yourself in the mirror. "This is unbeileibubble ....." you comment amazed at the girl sitting in front of you."You guys are amazing!! OMG I LOVE YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH", You yelled as you practically jumped on your team giving them a huge, warm bear hug. They laughed at your childishness and hugged you back. You glanced in the mirror again to see something you DID NOT expect. Standing there was a cute, nerdy and a totally unrecognizable Elena.

You had been expecting to start school as an ugly nerd to hide your identity but you did not mind being a slightly cute one instead. Your team had been working on your face and hair for 2 hours straight and you had to wake up at 4 am because school started at 7. You sighed as you remembered all the trouble and chaos you had went through to get this result.

[ FLASHBACK ]

You sat in front of your vanity as your makeup and hair team struggled to make you look ugly. You had already told them about your plan of hiding your identity. You sighed as you saw the team failing at the assigned job.

"Seriously guys, hurry up already! At this rate I would not be able to attend school toda--"

"Well ain't our fault you are beautiful at the point where we can't even make you look ugly." Your makeup artist snapped, clearly annoyed.

You sighed and told them instead of focusing on making you ugly, they could on making you as unrecognizable and unattractive as they could and they nodded, relieved.

Your makeup team started by applying foundation on your very pale skin making it look a bit darker. Then they applied makeup to give you some light dark circles (medium circles) and fake pimples, just a few to make it look natural. Your Hair team put on a black short wig with bangs on your brunette head. They topped it all off with cute nerdy glasses and chocolate brown contacts (to hide your deep blue eyes) that you had bought yesterday. You applied nude gloss and your face looked school ready.

[ END OF FLASHBACK ]

You sighed again thinking you'll have to get up early and go through this chaos every single day. You were awaken from these thoughts as you were blinded by white light.

"Perfect pic Ella, especially your expressions. On point." Yuna (your closest friend among the stylists) teased. "Huh??" You stared in horror at the picture Yuna was pointing at. You looked as if you were drooling while thinking deeply with a frown on your face. "Yahhh!!!!" You screamed in embarrassment as you tried to snatch away her phone but she pulled it back just in time.

"Hey!! You were about to delete the very first picture in history in which you looked ugly!" Yuna exclaimed dramatically as the team laughed. You had completely forgotten that they were present there and you pouted on realizing. "And I am not one to secretly take pics of people when they look ugly, I had to take a pic so that the team could do the exact same makeup every single day ." You ignored her, still mad you walked towards your closet as your designer followed behind.

You looked over at the special section in your closet labelled as "SCHOOL CLOTHES" and took out the outfit you had specially bought for today. You wore it and spun in front of your designer as she nodded giving you thumbs up and a sweet smile, you smiled back as she said, "I'll go shopping today to buy you tons of nerdy clothes for school, you can't wear the same thing everyday you know.", You chuckled slightly at her comment and thanked her with a sweet smile.

You walked out of your room at last and the door closed automatically and so suddenly that you almost fell. You were about to walk away but you stumbled backwards, it felt as if someone had just pulled you from your head but surprisingly it did not hurt. You turned around to see your wig stuck in your bedroom door. "Great" you mumbled and got your hair out of there with the help of Yuna. "Well I made sure that the wig was so tight that no could pull it off" She replied looking at your confused face. "What, why would you say that?" You said as you woke up from daydreaming.

"Huh? I thought you were thinking why did the wig not come out"

"What? No, I was thinking... How could such a short wig get stuck in the door?" You replied thinking hard.

"Aish, this girl" Yuna mumbled and looked at you with a 'what the hell' expression as you both ran downstairs for breakfast.

After breakfast you ran towards your car and stepped in as your driver opened the door for you and smiled before greeting. You returned the gesture and sped off to school.

About 1/2 a mile away from school you politely asked the driver to stop the car. You obviously did not want to go to school in a car like that, It would totally blow your cover. You walked to school as you listened to some music.

You nervously entered the school front gates. Your father was the owner of the school, so technically you owned it.

You were about to take a step forward but you jerked your head towards the sound of screams coming from the school building itself. Curious, you ran inside the building to see what had caused the commotion.
