So I walk into school. You know white crop top, Black flannel, Beige cargos, and black sneakers. Nikes. Aiden's to be specific. He doesn't know. But what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Immediately this girl wearing white jeans, a pink shirt with a pride flag on it, and Converse, comes up to me. She says "Hi nice to meet you im Addison. But people call me Addie." Okay so here's the thing about me. I'm hard to talk to. I don't open up and AS MUCH AS I HATE TO ADMIT IT. Im judgemental. SO OF COURSE, My first instinct was to look her up and down. "What you homophobic or something?" She said laughing. I quickly tucked my hair and said "No I'm so sorry it's just that you have a very vibrant sense of style. "Yeah im lesbian and PROUD," she said as she grabbed my hand. I was a little bit uncomfortable but for some reason, i was ok with it. She walked me through school, we had lunch together and overall it was a pretty good day. The next day was pretty much the same.
But there was this guy. Justin.Justin Ambrose. He had soft curls in his beautiful brown hair and had the best sense of style. Black oversized hoodie, cargos, and NIKES. The same ones I had on. I quickly caught myself. I'm not one for love I reassured myself. It was lunch and Addie came up to me all excited talking about some art project but as he walked by with his group of guys I was paying attention to him, only him. I was so focused that I closed my hair in my locker. Addie tried to get it out but it was too late. Justin dropped his basketball, smiled at me with his little dimples and said "Need some help with that?" My hair was till my hips. It was long and always in a messy bun or pony, and today it was a pony, out of all days. "Sure," I said smiling back. He pulled and pulled with his huge muscles. His veins popped out of his big biceps. I finally got it out but the whole corridor was looking at me.
I turned around, and THE DUDE RIPPED HALF MY HAIR OUT. My hair that was down to my hips was now very edgy till my shoulders. "Shit im so sorry!" he said covering his mouth. "Let me take you for a drink," he said. I opened my locker took the rest of my hair walking away mad at him and myself for focusing on this one guy so much. and not thinking enough to just open my locker.
One of his friends threw his basketball at me and said "Hey edgy hair he's talking to you" I grabbed his collar and said "First off i have the right to walk away, second you address me like that ever again. You will have raisins in your cookies instead of chocolate chips." Justin grabbed my hand he touched my hair about 2 cm away from my face and said "I think short hair suits you". I poured my water on him and said "I think water suits you."
I went to the salon later and got it cut properly still short but at least not edgy. I was walking out when Justin was at the door. He came up to me and said "Look I'm really sorry to let me at least take you out for ice cream." He said Addie told him where I was and I felt bad for pouring water on him and apologized and said ok, He said he deserved it but maybe he didn't?
We went and sat. He said his favorite was chocolate and mine was vanilla he called me a basic bitch but I was ok with that. He suddenly held my hand. It made me uncomfortable though. I wasn't ok with it for some reason. Because the last time I got close to a guy. He left. So did my dad so me and guys don't have the best history. I pulled back but he pulled my chair closer.
He tucked my hair and said "Short hair looks good on you" Also the guy didn't know two things about distance because YET AGAIN he was 2cm away from me. I walked out. Im 15. I'm not ready for love, for a boyfriend, I have priorities, I have a horse I have a chicken, HECK I HAVE A FARM. I also have to get into NYU me and my brother are close and going to the same college as him would be amazing. So yeah I walked out. I walked out on the one boy I might get attached but it's for me and bro I GOTTA PUT ME FIRST.
