Transition

Breaking news on LA Today beauty pageant winner Margot Watson is moving to..hold on this can’t be right..well ok then Ms. Watson is moving to the suburbs of Milwaukee? Yeah that’s right ok everyone there you have it and remember you heard it here on LA Today.


“Mom! I told you I am NOT going to school today and yes I’m aware that it’s my last da in LA, but I’d rather spend it wallowing in self pity!!” “Margot honey I know you’re upset about the LA Today show yesterday but you’ve already spent an entire day in this cloud of self pity so you are going to school whether you like it or not!”.

I trudged down the stairs my hair a mess and my beauty queen silk pajamas still on. “Mommy!!! Margy’s not ready for school!!” “Marty shut up! And I told you do NOT call me Margy for the love of god geez!”. “Kids kids calm down Marty, Margot will change and Margot he’s 7 he’s gonna say stuff got it?” “Yessssssss mom…” I mumbled.

I decided that if I was going to school no one not even my friends were going to know I was there. After searching through the very very back of my drawers I found what I’d been looking for my black hoodie the only hoodie I had that didn’t say something about beauty queens or pageants. I put on the hoodie, some skinny jeans, and a pair of dark sunglasses, yeah sure I looked like someone trying to hide myself but I new from my two and a half years of high school that those were the kids no one talked to because we were all kind of afraid of them…I was sure I could avoid everyone especially my best friends Ally and Ginny and even more so my boyfriend Alex, there was no need for me to tell them of course they already knew I mean everyone watch’s LA Today I mean honestly what person in LA doesn’t like seriously if you don’t something’s got to be wrong with you.


“Ughhh mom I’m never forgiving you for that!” “Marty, Margot did you say your goodbyes?” Marty nodded I just groaned and slammed the door to my room to pack aka torture myself the entire weekend because Monday was the day of the big road trip I mean seriously it’s that hard to take a plane to wherever the hell this place was.


“Here we are guys home sweet home” I looked at Marty he seems perfectly content was I just overreacting…Nope I wasn’t I took one look at this ‘home sweet home’ and snapped out of whatever that feeling of sympathy was it ugh I missed my old self the girl who did t have to care what everyone thought of her and everything she did. Then it hit me we were in a new state, new town, new everything, I could start over I’d have to change my name I could go by Olivia, my middle name, but the entire country knows my face. I have to think of something though or else I’m through with this whole life thing.

“Hey mom can I get like plastic surgery or something” “Honey, I’m sorry what?” “No I’m serious like I want to change my life I’m not gonna be in the spotlight so what if I just like completely change my face and like isn’t the only why some sorta surgery or something..” “Ok Margot I really never thought I’d have to have this conversation with you but plastic surgery is NOT the only way to change your appearance, sometimes you just can use a bunch of makeup I mean what do you think I look like without all this junk in my face” “Ok soooo can you take me shopping at least I need black lipstick and a bunch of black clothes” Mom sighed but picked up her keys and begrudgingly opened the door as I shuffle ran out of the house.

“Thanks mom I’m gonna change my appearance! Oh and also I’m going by Olivia now then people really won’t know who I am” “Why Olivia? Ohhhh right I told you that was your middle name… well maybe nows the time to tell you that your middle name is actually Angelas” “You’re kidding right? My entire life my ENTIRE life is LA LA LA nothing else I mean come on my names practically LA… great.
