"CECIL!" I jump, quickly shutting the computer off. "okay, okay..." I mumble. When I get to my mom's room she has 2 dresses sprawled on her bed. I roll my eyes. Not again! My mom has a panicked look on her face. "Which one???" she asks frantically. I look at the 2 dresses. One is slim and black with a huge black rose on the left side of her chest, and one is red, swooshy and sequiny with a bow in the back. I didn't really like the red one so I pointed at the black one. "Beauty isn't everything, mom." She glares at me. "sometimes, it is." she says it like it was obvious, when it really wasn't at all. I can't even believe she just said that! I storm off to my room to start IMing Ally to complain, but then I get a genius idea.

I wake up, I get out of bed, but I don't pick up the brush. I pull my  ugly tan corduroy pants on and then roll one leg up. I put my blank blue shirt on and then yank my sister's Dora and friends T-shirt over my head. I grab rainbow striped suspenders and clip them on. I pull my hair into a ponytail (which I look horrible in) and than put an ugly beige and dark green headband on my head. I put on a jacket, grab a banana and dash out the door screaming "BYE, MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!" than I arrive at the school that has a sign on the gate "yearbook photos for 8th graders: friday, june 2nd! wear something nice!" oh, by the way, I'm an eighth grader.

I unlock the door and clutch the yearbook in my hand. I dash upstairs to see my mom in my room doing her makeup. I toss the yearbook with the page with my picture bookmarked onto her bed and say "Beauty isn't everything!" and run into my room. Soon enough, my mom opens my door and looks surprised and happy. "Your yearbook... you dressed up like that for me?" I look at her and nod. Soon I am walking my mom out the door of the house looking beautiful, but not like she tried to look beautiful. Because now she knows that beauty isn't everything.
