reasons

chapter four

I ran to the bathroom as I started to cry. I let the door slam behind me. I  suddenly realized I have only gotten my hair trimmed five times in my life, therefore my ringlets traveled down To my hips. No one at school has seen me with my hair down since fifth grade. I fixed my bouncy red curls to the side, knowing there was no way I would be able to fix my bun. I looked pure Irish even though neither I, nor my parents were from Ireland, it was my grandpa who was full blood Irish.  I rinsed off my face and put on Some of my emergency concealer. I adjusted my skirt took a breath in and walked down the hallway. My teacher had moved on with the lesson as I walked into the classroom. All eyes turned to me they all gasped and stared . I unintentionally patted the spot that felt a little lighter then the rest of my hair, which seemed to have grown heavier. I sat down in my seat pretending like nothing happened. I pretended like I couldn't hear the mumbles. I pretended to not feel them stare. I pretended like I was listening and I was pure innocent. I should be an actress I thought to myself. When I got out of class josh caught up to me and stopped me,

"What happened!" he said franticly.

"Nothing its over with." I responded not wanting to talk about it.

"What's up with your hair, you never wear it down" he said getting slightly aggravated.

"I'm getting it cut tomorrow" I said as I was walking away "I got to go, I'm gonna be late for class"

The rest of the day went by about the same complements and gossip and stares and and and and and. By the end of the day I was so tired I didn't even feel like walking. I went straight to my room and flopped on the bed. Wednesday is done is all  I could think. I am leaving Friday for c.m and I am not getting back until 3am Sunday and my gracious mother is letting me take Monday off to rest. My phone goes off and I see a text from josh.
