Seeing an "aquaintance" for the first time

So today I went to the cinema with my friend, I suppose you could call it the first time I've been out in my hometown... (I hate my hometown by the way so I''m rarely there anyway!).
Anyways we bumped into a friend of my friends and she goes "You look so different!". I told her and she just couldnt get over it. Like she was astounded by how different I looked. I could tell she was a bit weirded out by the whole thing which made it a little bit awkward but she was really nice about it.
I'm just kind of worried that people will presume I that it was a cosmetic procedure and compare it to plastic surgery. I kept stressing the point that the underbite made it difficult to eat and stuff so she wouldn't think that. But I have to keep reminding myself that I really dont care what the people who aren't my friends in my town think of me! It's not important :) I just have to get used to the initial awkwardness when I meet people in future.

I'm going to do a more detailed update when I get back from Germany in two weeks, sorry I've been super busy lately, now that I can do everything again!
My orthodontist brought me down to just two elastics either side of my mouth which is great! I'm pretty much eating everything now too. Can't believe it's been just over 2 months already!
