Sofia's POV


Designers and makeup artists rush restlessly around my room. Not once stopping for a break. All of them exchanging articles of clothing, hair tools and many different makeup products. Sitting motionless on in-front of the Vanity mirror I watch as they all run around like little mice, constantly throwing things around. They just can't make up their minds on what dress I will be wearing tonight.

After I had woken up in the hospital, I was quickly checked out the next day by non other then my own mother. She never said one word to me the whole drive home, but I did know why she was home.

Every year my mother throws a huge party celebrating the day she published her very first book. The book is called 'Beauty'. It's about how to properly look appealing and attractive in this day in age, how image is the key to all things successful in life. And her main source of inspiration is me, using me as her little test subject ever since I could speak. She tortured me with her many different beauty theories, doing so many experiments on me with different products. It was and still is awful.

Any ways for some unknown reason the book became a big hit. It's almost as if everyone looked beyond the fact that a grown women is using her child as a rat in her many different experiments. And looked at it more as 'I should start doing this to myself or my child'.
Guess my years of torturers paying for someone else's convenience now.

The party is a huge deal to her, as it's the only party she has where everyone shows up. All of her friends and business friends, but non of her family. I think it's embarrassing enough for her to have to actually have me be apart of her whole party. I haven't talked to any of my close family in a very long time, my mothers just utterly repulsed by her actual family. It's disgusting in it's self.
Just because my family is actually sort of normal, and tried to take me away from my mothers like test lab job. She has hated them ever since, and has blocked them out completely.

It's been a week since my mother and father came home, A very long week. My mother was so intent on making this place and me look perfect that she pulled me out of school for the whole week, lying to the school saying 'I was on vacation' with some close relatives.

But instead I have been here, and at every beauty parlour in town. Getting my hair highlighted, with light blonde strikes. Getting every inch of my body waxed, including you eyebrows. Then she forced me into getting my nails down. She also put me on this 'special diet' this week so I don't look fat in my dress. Which the diet is basically starvation, only having one small meal a day. In substitute I have been drinking all of these cleansing smoothies, my whole body is just basically running on water.
