I'm Alex Raven-Born and raised with a loving family and a boring life. I'm 15- turning 16 and I wanna do something rebellious and try new things. So this is where I start...
I looked in the mirror at my old self one last time. I was sick of it- the long blonde hair, the perfect profile, grades, and life. Sick of people telling me that i dont have to worry about anything, that my life was... perfect. Tears of hatred and guilt streamed down my face. I took the pocket knife out and before i could stop myself, and cut my hair. When the short and shaggy look finally suited my face, I took out my next step of transformation- black hair dye.
I finally finished and took a look in the mirror. Damn.. I look good. I looked punk- if thats how I should put it. Then I had a mini heart spasm when I realized that my clothes were still colorful and girly... That will quickly change...
I called up my best friend and told her we had to go shopping immediatly. Christine drove over in her car she was looking out the other window so hopped in. Her eyes widened and she took an embrella and wacked me in the head with it. "OW! What the hell was that for Christine?"
"Alex... That's you?"
"Um.. DUH!"
"OmygoshI'msosorryIdidn'trecognizeyou-"
"Chris! Calm down. It's alright. We need to get me a new wardrobe!"
She rolled her eyes as we drove away.
I came home 3 hours later with 12 shopping bags and an exhausted friend. My 1st day at my new school was tomorrow and I had to decide what I wanted to wear. I slipped into a blakc bra, sequence black top, black jeans, and a black leather jacket.
"U-be-lookin-flyyyy" Christine said in a New York accent.
I chuckled and lead her out the door before she could pass out on my couch...again.
At night I started thinkning to myself and how I needed someone in my life, someone who was there for me when I needed him most. I need a boyfriend. No matter how much I wanted to back into the hottest guy in school and lock eyes with him and suddenly become his girlfriend, i knew it wasn't gonna happen. I didn't want to search for love, I wanted love to find me.
