i am not pretty

5

Ella has been crying all night, she really thought that Jett was special, different. Her mom isn't home. She hasn't been home a lot lately.

"Hello?" Ella said answering her phone. 

"Ella? Are you okay?" Tayla asked. It was clear in her voice that she'd been crying. 

"Uh, yeah im fine. What's up? Why'd you call?" Ella asked.

"I uh saw that Jett changed his facebook to single" Ella knew that they weren't together anymore but neither of them had said or told one another that they were over. This hurt Ella.

"Yeah i, i guess i broke up with him. He just changed Tayla, the popularity got to him. I thought he was different" Ella continued, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Okay. Ella you've got to stop crying. He isn't worth your tears. He lost you, you didn't loose him."Ella listened to Tayla and really thought about what she had said.

The next day she didn't go to school. She didn't want to see Jett. If she saw him she would have just bursted into tears. She cried all weekend and all Monday. She decided she had to get over him. She got up tuesday morning and got ready for school. She went to school and tried her best to avoid Jett all day. 

At lunch Ella sat on her own. 

"Hey Ella, come stuff your face over here" Brittany called out and then everyone started laughing, including Jett.

"Wow Jett. You know just because you change your facebook to single doesn't mean we aren't dating anymore" It's true. Ella and Jett are still technically dating. 

The next few days everything started getting way too much for Ella. Her mom has hardly been around and whenever she spoke to her, it was about another photo shoot her mother had signed her up for. Jett was just being cocky and Brittany she's just a, a she just thinks she is way better than everyone else. Ella hadn't broken up with Jett yet, she was scared. She called Tayla and told her that they are still together. She told her that she wanted to break up with him and Tayla said she has to do it some time this week.

The stress kept building up and Ella couldn't take it anymore. She got changed into some sweats and decided to go for a walk. It was a good idea, it gave her time to think everything through.

Ella was on the main road, she looked inside the shops as she passed them. She stopped out the front of one of the shops. She stood there staring in until she finally moved towards the door and made her way in.

"Hello can i make you an appointment?" The lady asked from behind the desk. 

"uh yeah, can you fit me in for a cut" Ella asked. She decided it was time for a change.

The lady nodded and took Ella over to the chair.

"What can i do for you? Just a trim?" She asked Ella, she shook her head.

"No, i uh, i want it all gone." The lady's face was shocked.

"All this gorgeous hair gone?" Ella nodded her head with a smile.
