----- Sushie ------
I had been overwhelmed by what, Aunt Naomi told me.
I still couldn't believe that I was that important.
Just months ago, I had been questioning my worth.
Just months ago, I had attempted to take my own life, since I thought I was useless and my whole life is meaningless.
Then, I never found reasons to continue living, but now I do.
And, now?
I will fight! Fight to become the best version of myself!
I am ready to fight to prove myself! Fight to prove my worth! I am ready to prove those who insulted me in the past, wrong.
I am now more than ready to prove them wrong.
Since they said I was useless, I would prove them wrong, by showing just how useful I can be.
They said I was a disappointment right?
Then I am ready to show them how much good I can do.
I will do this!
Fighting!
I opened the door to my room and then walked in, I immediately spotted the outfits on the bed as soon as I entered.
Curiously, I walked closer and checked it.
Lo and behold, it was a red sweater dress and some thick red matching pop socks.
Really?
Is this a Christmas outfit? I couldn't help but think as I stared at the outfit in front of me.
While I was still pondering on this, I heard a familiar voice from the door and turned.
" Do you like the outfit? " He asked.
I stared at the outfit once more before finally replying to his question, " I do. "
" But, I can't help but wonder if this is a Christmas outfit or something else? "
" Um... Well... " He began advancing towards me, " I thought it would suit you well... " He replied with a smile as he stared at the outfit in my arms.
" Ah! Really? "
" Yeah.... "
" Anyways, if this outfit makes me feel awkward at the event then I am telling you, I will never attend an event with you again! " I voiced out.
" Okay... I assure you that you'll not feel awkward, happy now? "
" Whatever... " I said with a shrug.

After changing into the dress, I couldn't help but gasp in shock when I realized that the outfit fitted me perfectly!
It was kind of free, just how I love it!
I was putting on the black low-heeled shoes when I felt a presence in my room.
Before I could speak up, I heard Aunt Naomi's voice.
" Hey, Sushie! Would you mind if I styled up your hair? " She asked.
Oh...
My hair!
That's when I remembered that my hair was increasing in length daily.
Something I wasn't used to.
Since I was used to keeping a very low cut.
" Oh... You can. " I replied.
" Alright, then... I'll get the instruments. " She told me before disappearing to her room... I guess.
She came back minutes later, by then I was done putting on my low-heeled shoes.
I sat down on the chair which was right in front of the mirror.
I watched as she worked on styling my hair and by the time she was done, I was stunned.
My hair which was originally rough and unattractive now looked very beautiful.
I still couldn't believe it.
How did she manage to pull that off in such a little time?
Though I was there the whole time, I still couldn't help, but be amazed.
" You are amazing, Aunt Naomi! " I said giving her a thumbs up!
" Aw, thanks! You look so young and beautiful, Sushie! " She said with a grin.
" Thanks, Hehehe. "
" So would you like some makeover? " She asked.
" Um... No. " I shook my head.
I wanted to look natural, so I won't attract unnecessary attention.
" Alright, then. " She replied.
We both went downstairs together, where Brother and his assistant were waiting...
" Aw, Princess Sushie is looking so dazzling! " I heard Kelvin's words clearly as we walked down the stairs.
" You are not looking bad too, Assistant Kev. " I replied.
" Really? "
" Yeah. "
" Thanks, Hehehe. "
" You look so beautiful just like the princess you are, Sis... " Brother said with a grin as he approached me.
He was putting on a Red turtle-necked Sweater top and marching Red sweat pants.
" Aw, you look dashing too, Bro! " I replied sincerely.
" Am glad to hear that, Sis! " He smiled back.
" So can we go now? " He asked taking my hand.
" Sure. " I replied almost immediately.
" Okay. " He replied to me, " See you later, Na. " He said as he turned to Aunt Naomi.
" See ya! Have fun guys! " Aunt Naomi replied as she waved happily at us.
" See you... " I said as we walked out of the house to the, red and white sports car that was parked right in front of the house.
We all got into the car and soon the car went in motion.
And, it rolled out of the compound into the streets...
