I notice

 It was another boring day as school passed by in a blur, you were now sitting in the front seat of your moms car, smiling from ear to ear. Why were you smiling today? Well you were because you were finally going to be getting your dream haircut/hair dyed. It took months and months of begging and saying you would be giving your mother your allowance and still do your chores to pay for the haircut. As you sat in the chair having your haircut and dyed after you showed your hair stylist a picture of what you wanted, you spaced out as your mom and stylist talked. 

Once the stylist was finished she turned you to a mirror so you could see the haircut she just gave you. And when I tell you you squealed, I really mean it, you squealed like a pig. Thanking her over and over, the two of you left. The next day on Sunday your mother surprisingly took you out to get our nails done saying it was an ‘early birthday gift’ and you didn’t need to pay back. So almost for the whole afternoon you were there, having your hands look so good that you posted a picture on Snapchat. Who knew some of your weird ass friends slid up asking you to choke them with your ‘smexy hands.’

It was now Monday which meant that you had to go back to school, boo:(. But hey, at least you were hanging out with your crush, Senju, after school! You were super excited because you haven’t seen her ever since Thursday afternoon even though the two of you texted. As you went through the school day you got multiple complitems about your new haircut and nails, making your confidence boost up more. Of course, I mean who wouldn’t get a big compliment boost after having a flood of compliments come your way?

Hell even people that didn’t talk to you often gave you compliments, more standoff people gave you a thumbs up as well. Bolting out of your last class, you ran(not really, more like speed walking) home to change out of your school uniform to more casual clothes before Senju arrived to pick you up. You decided to unconsciously dress up as Dazi from Bungo No Stray Dogs today for some reason. After your shower you put on a tinted light blue dress shirt, a black vest over it, along with a pair of black pants with a necklace that reaches to half of your stomach. Pulling on your shoes you wished your parents goodbye as you heard Senjus’ bike pull up in your driveway. 

“Oh my God its’ Dazai!” Senju jokes hopping off of her bike chuckling. Yes, the both of you watched Bungo No Stray Dogs one time while the two of you hung out. From that joke you decided to play the role, walking up to her kneeling holding one of her hands. 

“Would you do me the honor of strangling me with these gorgeous hands, belladonna ?” You asked with a sparkle in your eye before she pulled you up by your clasp hand as the both of you hopped on her bike. While holding onto her waist while zooming down the highway, you were lost in your thoughts. Did Senju not notice your haircut or nails? Or were you just fishing for compliments? It would make sense as you had been getting them all day, plus you kinda knew some people would notice. Were you just being selfish for compliments? Still lost in your thoughts, you didn’t even notice that you and Seju had already arrived at the cafe you were going to. 

“[First name]? Are you alright? You kinda seem out of it.” She started close to your face, making you a bit flustered. 

“Yeah I’m fine! Just a bit tired, you know how school is.” You said, trying to hope you didn’t bring down the mood. If you had, that would just make you feel worse. 

“Then come on then slowpoke!” Senju stated as she dragged you by the hand into the shop. Ordering the both of you had gotten a table near the corner. Senju had to start the conversation, which was a bit odd. You would normally be taking her ear off about your day or something random that was on your mind. 

“Hey, why are you so quiet?” She asked, poking your cheek with her finger over and over. She had a bit of a concerned look on her face as she continued poking your cheek, still not catching your attention. You were just spacing out staring right at the table the two of you were sitting at. After a few minutes of not getting your attention, she gently grabbed your face, having you turn to you making your eyes widen a bit, snapping out of your trance. 

“Are you ok [First name]? You’ve been spacing out a lot more lately.” She said in a concerned voice, worried look in her eyes. You couldn’t look in her eyes, I mean it would practically be asking to be complimented, wouldn’t that be rude? Looking anywhere but Senjus’ eyes, you stated, 

“Is there anything you noticed different about me?” You asked, still refusing to look her in the eye. After that question she scanned both your face and outfit, she giggled a bit. 

“Yeah, you changed your hair didn’t you? And your nails too. I just didn’t want to say anything because….” Senju said, now letting go of your face as there was a small blush on her face as she looked away. She had muttered something at the end of the sentence, but you couldn't make it out. 

“Awww is the great Senju blushing??!” You said, repeatedly patting her head with a big mocking grin on your face. 

“I am not!” She stated, trying to swat your hand away from your head.
