Andrew woke up early on the day of school, feeling a mixture of excitement and anxiety. He stared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, still getting used to his new look. The barber's transformation had given him a newfound confidence, but he wasn't sure how his classmates would react.

Slipped the face mask into his backpack, remembering the barber's advice. The walk to school felt different, like he was stepping into a new feeling of his life.

When Andrew arrived at school, he could feel the eyes of his classmates on him. Whispers followed him down the hallway, and he caught snippets of conversations.

"Isn't that Andrew?"

"He looks so different!"

"I didn't even recognize him."

Andrew took a deep breath and headed to his first class. The teacher, Mr. Carter, paused mid-sentence when Andrew walked in.

"Andrew? Is that you?" Mr. Carter asked, his eyebrows raised.

Andrew nodded, feeling a blush creep up his cheeks trying not to act gloomy."Yeah, it's me."

"Well, it's good to see you. Please take your seat," Mr. Carter said, recovering quickly.

Throughout the day, Andrew's new look sparked curiosity and conversation. Some of his classmates approached him, complimenting his hairstyle and asking what had prompted the change.

During lunch, he found himself sitting with a group of students he hadn't talked to much before. They welcomed him warmly, and for the first time, Andrew felt the feeling he didn't know.

"Why the sudden change, Andrew?" asked Lisa, friend of the girl who confess to Andrew at the library.

Andrew shrugged, smiling.
Andrew thought, I thought this gonna be hard to talk to someone didn't expect them to be talkative infront on me.

After school, Andrew decided to take a different route home. He wandered through the park, enjoying the warm afternoon sun. As he walked, he thought about the past month and the girl she used to pretend to. I didn't see Jane today. Well maybe she wouldn't let me see her after on what she did.

I'm glad I change now didn't expect to change this in only a short time. He realized that the physical transformation was just the first step. He needed to continue pushing himself, learning, and growing.

When he got home, Andrew sat at his desk and opened his laptop. He decided to move beyond the repetitive instructional videos and seek out new resources. He found online forums, joined study groups, and even signed up for a couple of webinars. He was determined to make the most of his time and push himself further.

Days turned into weeks, and Andrew's confidence continued to grow. He participated more in class, joined a few clubs, and even made new friends. The initial shock of his transformation wore off, and people started seeing him for who he truly was—a determined and capable individual.

One evening, as Andrew was reviewing his notes, he received a message from Lisa.

"Hey, a bunch of us are going to the café after school tomorrow. Want to join?"

Andrew smiled and replied, "Sure, sounds great."

As he closed his laptop, he thought about how much had changed in such a short time. The day had just begun, and Andrew was ready on whatever came next.

"I LIKE THIS FEELING ".
