One day there was a girl named Danielle. She was the kindest person in the
world and she was the most popular person in the whole school, along with
her best friends Melissa and Shine. They were the prettiest girls in the
whole school, but Danielle was the prettiest of all.

Danielle’s boyfriend, Leon, asked Danielle
Out on a date to go to a restaurant to talk, Danielle said yes and was
very happy. That night she was stressed because she didn’t know what to
wear! She called Shine to help her to decide what to wear. Shine said to
wear a dress, Danielle said ok, but she doesn’t have a dress suggested she
look in her mother’s cupboard for a dress, so they went and looked. All
the dresses were ugly but one dress was so pretty they couldn’t resist.

Danielle put on the dress and it looked really ugly on her but Shine said
it looked really good on her, Danielle wanted to look in the mirror but
Shine said no because she looked good already. Danielle said “Ok fine” to
Shine.

About five minutes later Leon came to pick up Danielle. He didn’t like the
dress at all.
It was a really fancy restaurant and everyone was dressed in really fancy
and expensive clothes. At the restaurant Leon broke up with Danielle! He
said she was to ugly for him. She was hart broken because she really loved
Leon. She didn’t want to drive with him so she walked home.

When she got home she didn’t tell her parents that Leon broke up with her,
she just ran up to her room. The next day she told Melissa that Leon broke
up with her. Before she went to bed she looked in the mirror and she
thought that she looked hideous in that dress. She was really mad at
Shine. At school
Shine went up to ask how the date went. Danielle asked her why she lied to
her. Shine said because it was the only thing to wear. Danielle said that
she can’t trust her anymore so she gave her only one more chance and they
were friends again.
