I made my way back with Alice and Klee to the car. I placed my hand on my neck it felt weird with the wind blowing against my neck. It was shorter then I expected it was slightly longer then my chin, I'm pretty sure it's just long enough for me to do my braids that I always do but I have still yet to try though. By the time we got home it was pretty late and I decided to go to bed right away.

I start brushing my teeth and I look in my mirror I don't know if I like it or not, I never really cared about my hair I just never bothered to cut it so it got fairly long up to this point. I spit into the sink and swish water in my mouth before getting into bed and I fell asleep fairly quickly

_____________________________

I woke up and got dressed quickly I put on a white t-shirt with a beige  shirt on top and I did debate on if I should wear shorts or jeans it was warm and sunny but if I was wearing shorts it would be weird if I wore Kaeya's jacket with them. I ended up putting on some black jean shorts. I brushed my hair and put in my braids, my hair was just and I do mean just long enough to tie back

I made my way downstairs and started making breakfast for Klee, Alice and me. Klee had a sugary cereal, oats and yoghurt for Alice and some toast with butter for me. I put all the breakfast on the table before shouting "breakfast " Klee runs down she was wearing a witch hat for some reason it wasn't Halloween but I'm not going to ask why. Alice follows down shortly after she walks over to the coffee pot  "no coffee?"

"Well Kaeya brings me one every morning so I haven't actually made coffee in the morning for awhile" I sit down and start to eat my food while Alice turns on the coffee pot before sitting down with me and Klee. "Look how much nicer your hair is now it looks a lot more clean and professional"

"I still don't know if I like what do you think Klee " I wanted to know Klee's opinion because the only reason I got a haircut was because she brought it up. I wanted to know other people's opinions since I am still unsure if I like my haircut or not and I hope that other people's opinions will help me figure out if I like it or not

"It's pretty but I can't play with as much " she eats her breakfast fairly fast I don't know how most of that food is actually getting into her mouth

"I never told Kaeya he told me yesterday he liked my hair I didn't even text hi- " I got interrupted by the door bell and I already knew who it was but I didn't want to move out of my seat "are you going to go answer it he is your "boyfriend" so go " Alice starts to make her coffee but before I got up Klee had ran over to open the door.

"hi Kaeya Albedo is inside he looks very pretty" I hear her giggling and I look over at Alice who was snickering to herself I am going to guess that Alice has been either telling or hinting to Klee so there will be more moments like just then. Kaeya follows Klee as she runs back over to the table

"Good morning blo-" Kaeya stops in the hallway and he just looks at me and I didn't know what he was thinking did he hate it or did he actually like it

"W woah wow your hair is, it's um different umm it's really nice and short really short I I like it it suits you I, I'm not doing a good job at this am I...
Let me try again, good morning blondie like the hair it suits you I like the way it umm" he walks over to me and passes me the coffee he then lifts his hand up to the hair around my face and lifts it slightly with his middle and index finger " it frames your face nicely it does really suit you I was just a bit shocked sorry, I have done a lot of talking you talk "

I didn't want to but I couldn't help but laugh he was so frazzled and he looked flustered, he was typically so calm, collected and confident but seeing him stumbling over his own words was funny "good morning Kaeya I'm sorry I shouldn't laugh but it's so funny when your flustered"

"Well you two should get going I will drop Klee to school today go on " Alice walks over and nudges me slightly to get going and I here Klee he starts to whine slightly about not getting to walk with me and Kaeya. I grab my bag and I look at the jacket I could wear it but would it be weird wearing such a heavy jacket with shorts

"Is it to hot for me to wear this " I turn to Kaeya and hold up the jacket "yeah probably " Kaeya was wearing a white loose fitting shirt with the sleeves rolled up to around his elbow and blue ripped jeans. I put the jacket back down and I put the bag over my shoulder and sipped my coffee and I walk out with Kaeya

"I didn't know you were going to get a haircut after our " date " " he did quotations with his fingers but I wasn't quite sure why though

"Well I didn't know either I just mentioned to Klee that I needed a haircut and Alice just brought me after dinner" Kaeya wraps his arm around my shoulder and he sips his coffee

"Well it looks great " he lifts his hand that he had on my shoulder and touches my hair with his fingers

"Thanks" I felt the instinct to lean into his hand more. He looks at me slightly nervous

"Do you want to hang out with me and my friends at lunch instead of in the library I want you to meet my other friends and I want them to meet you"

"Well sure " this made me kind of nervous me and Kaeya always hung out separately I am very aware that he is popular that is probably the reason for why we are friends now but I never was one for popularity and didn't care about it and the library was the best place since nobody would be there. The cafeteria is loud and crowded and already some people have been staring at me more since I have been hanging out with Kaeya. What will happen if I actually had lunch with him there are already rumours about us
