The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 87

I blinked in surprise. “A makeover? Why on earth would I need that?”

Aria nodded vigorously. “Because you’re going to dazzle everyone! We’ll pick out the perfect outfit, glam you up, and make sure you steal the spotlight.”

I chuckled, shaking my head. “Aria, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I’m not sure if a makeover is necessary.”

Aria put her hands on her hips, giving me an incredulous look. “Evie, come on! It’s not about necessity, it’s about having some fun and boosting your confidence.”

Thesitated, feeling both excited and uncertain about the idea. “I don’t know, Aria…”

Aria playfully nudged me. “Come on, Evie! It’ll be fun, I promise. And who knows, you might even enjoy the change.”

However, her efforts had left me staring at a sea of clothes that felt entirely foreign to me.

“Aria, are you sure about this?” I asked, holding up the one blouse that seemed to have more sequins than fabric.

Aria turned to me, her eyes lighting up at the sight. “That looks fierce! You have set of bottoms to match?”
