I felt someone poking my cheeks and I groaned

I swear if Cloud keeps annoying me...

My eyes slowly opened to see my new room in Daisy's home

Oh right, I'm not in the penthouse anymore

Daisy was sitting at the side of my bed with a huge grin on her face "Wakey wakey! We gotta be early to get your hair done" she held my arm and started to pull me out of bed, Olivia was at the door using her index finger to point to her watch while facing me

It seems that Olivia and Daisy is more excited about this than I am

I sat up and rubbed my eyes, the clock in my room says that it is 6 AM right now

It's too early!

"Don't you guys think it's a bit too early?" I was hoping they could agree with me and move the time so I can sleep more, Olivia shook her head as her response "Nope"

I sighed before standing up to stretch and got ready to go to the hair salon, Ted left early for a meeting with a potential partner for the ice cream shop so it was both me and Daisy who helped Olivia make breakfast

It's my first day here

I wouldn't have imagined that I could pull this plan off, it was all too sudden but I am glad it did. We had sausages and toasted bread for breakfast before we head out.

Before I could step out of the door Olivia pulled me by the arm and handed me a hat, I glance up at her with a confused look

"Sweetie if your planning to give your face way to people I won't mind"

I almost forgot that the trio did a lot of major things yesterday, so there could be a chance someone might say that I'm here

I accepted the hat and put it on my head, Daisy pulled out an umbrella "We might need this"

Together, we all stepped out of their home and onwards we marched to the hair salon where Daisy's friend is waiting for us so early in the morning. While walking I can see the beach that is empty with only the beach cleaners cleaning up some trash

I love the sea air and the sound of the waves as it crashes on the sandy beach, it was windy so it made me feel cold but I didn't care since I went through colder temperatures than a simple cold wind. There were not that many people in the morning, just old people taking a walk and some joggers doing their best

The walk was 15 minutes until we finally arrived at some plaza where the hair salon was located inside, most of the stores were still closed except the 24-hour convenience stores

The salon was located near the fountain which was turned off so there was no water going down, when we got closer a girl who was the same age as me and Daisy greeted Daisy with a jolly greeting "Daisy! You're here. What's the sudden request of a hairstyle last night?" She asked her

Olivia looked around before pushing me into the salon leaving the girl confused, Daisy pulled her in and simultaneously locked the entrance door of the salon. Olivia pulled down the blinds making sure no one saw us

"What's happening? Why are you guys acting weird and who's she?" She pointed to me, the hat sure did cover me well because when I removed my hat the girl gasp in shock that she has to take a step back

"You look like Penelope!" She turned to Daisy "Oh My God, Nick Matthews is looking for her"

The girl took long strides and checked my face, she pulled out her phone. She looked at her phone then to my face "There's no doubt about you're Penelope"

"Listen Mira it's a long story but could you help us change her identity?" Daisy asked the girl named Mira nicely

Mira gave us a puzzled look "Why would you want to hide from the people who are looking for you? Did you do a crime?"

I shake my head immediately "No I didn't, I'll...explain it when the time is right"

I glance at Daisy and pointed to Mira "How does she know about Nick's post I thought people here don't get updated"

Mira flipped her hair and gave me a proud face "I am one of Nick Matthews most loyal fans, he writes so well and he looks hot" she sighs dreamily

She then continues to bombard me with many questions like

"Are you really Nick's best friend!?"

"What food does he like?"

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

I was overwhelmed with so many questions that Daisy came to my rescue and puts a distance between us by going in front of me "Mira that's enough, Penelope has gone through a lot"

Mira gave us a sad pout "Aw"

She is so excited to know about Nick that no other fans must haven't known about

A small smile went on my face "I'll tell you all about Nick if you could give me a new hairstyle" I put a hand on Daisy's shoulder to signal her 'it's alright

Mira's eyes lit up "I'll do it" she hooked her arm around mine as she guided me to a chair

"So what hairstyle are you planning to do?" She asked me while rolling up her sleeves that were connected to her dress

I shrugged "Anything just not bright colors, give me a subtle look" I told her

"On it!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So Nick likes waffles?" Mira asked me as she cuts my hair

"Yes and he also has a pet named snow white who is a white rabbit"

Mira was enjoying our conversation topic, just only the final touches and she will be done styling my hair. Olivia was at the corner of the salon reading a magazine while drinking a coffee, Daisy told me she went out to get something

After a few minutes she was done, it was exactly that she said she was done that Daisy finally arrived. She gave me a small paper bag and in it were amber colored contact lenses

I need to cover my eye color too

"Don't get wrong Penelope your eyes are nice but they will still attract people's attention" Daisy told me in the most nicest way she could put it in hopes it wouldn't offend me

I grinned at her "Thank you, you too Mira. Thank you"

Mira and Daisy put their arms around each other "You can count on us to keep a secret" Mira winked at me and it made me giggle a little

"You ready to see your new appearance?" Mira asked me

"Wait! She needs to put on her contacts first"

Daisy helped me put on the contacts as Mira brushed my hair, slowly they turned the chair to make me see myself in the mirror. I couldn't believe what I am seeing right now

My face stays the same but my hair and eye color didn't, Mira made my hair color ash blonde and added layers with curtain bangs. The amber contacts covered my hazel eyes, it also complimented well with the hair color

I stood up and walked closer to the mirror, I have never been able to change my hair color before since Mom and Dad didn't want me to

"I look good in ash blonde, holy hell" I muttered still stunned at the new Penelope that was in the mirror

Gone was the frizzy untamable hair because it was now soft and flowy, I don't need to style my hair anymore

Olivia walked up from behind me "How do you like your new image? Mia Junifer"

Mia Kathy Junifer, my new name that Daisy and Olivia gave me. Ted didn't mind if I could use their last name since he likes the thrill of everything that is happening

New Identity? Check

Up next, new school. I need a uniform so they brought me to the school for a fitting since the school is in charge of providing the uniform

The uniform design was simple it contained: a dark brown skirt that reaches my thigh and a white short-sleeved blouse with a red ribbon in the middle

The design was made so the female students wouldn't have a hard time with the hot weather that they always have at the seaside, we went to the school on Saturday so there were no students when we entered

The school was big but not as big as my old school back at home since the school here is bigger in terms of width, my old school was tall since space was limited there

While Olivia went to the registrar to help me enroll, Daisy and Mira gave me a tour around the school
