Emily's p. o. v
It's been two months since I arrived in Italy and started living with my aunt. Ever since I arrived, she has treated me like the daughter she never had. She took me to the mall a day after we arrived to help me design a new look for myself. We bought new clothes and then after, we went to the salon to get our hair and nails done.
I have changed SO much in such a short time. And not just my style, my attitude as well as my body. A week after arriving in Italy, I joined a local gym to lose weight and gain muscle. I even signed up for a ju-jitsu class so that I could learn some self-defence. And I have to say, all the hard work payed off, I've only been going to the gym for a month and a half now and my body is toned.
But to be honest, I spent most of the day working out so it didn't just magically happen. Besides, I had nothing else to do while waiting for the school holidays to finish. That's right, my aunt enrolled me at the local high school. School starts tomorrow so right now I am packing my bag and making sure that I have everything I need for tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to make some good friends when I start, although with my new found confidence and style, I am sure I'll find some good friends.
I am no longer the bullied, fat nerd who had no style, confidence or friends. I am A tall, strong and confident badass with killer style. And people should think twice before messing with me.
"EMILY" My aunt called from downstairs. "CAN YOU COME HERE PLEASE" Shoving the rest of my books in my school bag, I make my way downstairs to my Aunt who is currently in the kitchen.
