"Child, I have a plan for you!" Teller said with an exaggerated southern accent.

Arden opened the door to the house. "Teller, how many times do we need to go over the fact that just because you're a ghost, doesn't mean you're God?"

"A lot more, clearly." Upon feeling Arden's death glare, he smiled shakily. "Just kidding!"

Arden poured herself some cereal and sat down at the dinner table. She opened up her computer and began typing.

Teller sighed loudly and shut her computer. "School can wait; I have a plan."

"I don't care for your plan."

"Well, I do, so shut the fuck up and let's go."

"Where?" She asked half-heartedly as she re-opened her computer.

"The mall. You're loaded and I'm sure your mother would love it if you spent some money on getting yourself a sense of fashion that's actually decent."

"That was rude and uncalled for." She said with a harrumph and a crossing of her arms.

"Shut up and drive."

"Yeah, okay."

**

Arden wasn't really too sure about why she agreed to go to the mall with a ghost or go to the mall at all.

Maybe part of her knew her mother wasn't too proud of her and maybe getting a little fixed up couldn't do much harm.

"Try these on," Teller said, throwing clothes at her.

She looked down at the pile of jeans, tops, skirts, and sweaters warily before heading off to the fitting rooms.

She had to admit, Teller had a good sense of style.

Everything seemed to exaggerate her barely existent curves and elongate her legs. She had never had a problem with her body but everything that wasn't 'perfect' about it seemed to disappear.

As they walked out of the store she turned to Teller. "Okay, where to?"

He grinned.

"Strawberry milkshakes are hands down the greatest thing ever created."

"Sure..."

Arden shrugged and sipped her milkshake. Why were guys so critical of anything strawberry flavoured?

Teller watched quietly as she sipped her drink. Her eyes were gorgeous. It wasn't like he liked her or anything... He just thought her eyes were pretty.

"Teller? You're staring... Do I have something on my face?"

"N-no. I was just thinking; we should pierce your nose."

"Okay! I've always kind of wanted a second piercing."

"Wow, okay, um, the more you know."

"Teller, you're acting weirdly,"

"What? No, I'm not."

"Okay, let's just go to the spa place so I can get my piercing."

"Yeah, let's."

Arden picked up her bags and Teller trailed behind her.

She had a nice butt.

**

Arden grazed her finger over the stud on her nose. It felt so foreign.

"Stop touching it, you're gonna get infected and then your nose is gonna swell and you'll be the next Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer."

"Okay damn, someone's on their man period..."

"Rude!"

"I'm a girl, Teller. I experience periods therefore I can make all the PMS jokes."

"That sounds oddly familiar."

"What?"

"Nothing- nevermind." They walked past an HMV and Teller screeched.

"Oh my god, Teller! What happened?" Arden asked worriedly.

"You can't just look the part; you must act the part."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"If you're gonna look like a basic bitch; you must give off the basic bitch aura."

"There's a basic bitch aura?"

"Yes," He paused. "Listening to a certain type of music and watching certain movies could help," he said deep in thought.

"Good god." Arden muttered.

After watching Clueless, Mean Girls, the first half of season one of PLL and Gossip Girl, Teller sighed dramatically.

"You are ready, my child."

"Stop calling me your child."

"Fine."

Arden stuck her tongue out at him and then sighed. It was Monday. Teller had spent the entire weekend prepping her. (It was all part of his plan, apparently.)

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked so different.

Teller handed her the sunglasses.

"Go get 'em, tiger."

A/N

Ughh I'm so sorry... This chapter is shitty... I don't know how to write make overs...

So a quick note: I changed Arden's actress to Lauren Jauregui (gif of her below). I don't really know why I changed it, I just felt like it XP

Thanks for reading (please vote)! See y'all on the flip side :)
