Kaylyn Greene

chapter 5

                              I walked into school half in tears as I was attempting to tell myself this was going to be okay. After all, it was just blue hair..what would you do? would a normal person even be worked up about this? I don't know.

I tried to ignore the snickers and stares I got from the stupid people I walked by. "Kaylyn!! get over here." Morgan said motioning for me to go towards her with the other girls. Morgan and Emily gave me a sympathetic smile. Brit just looked at me and giggled.

"I brought this for you." Morgan said with a smile. It was a really cute headband that would cover up the disaster and make it look OK.  "Thanks." I said truly grateful I could take this ugly bandanna out.

I went to my homeroom and my morning classes like usual. Then it was time for specialists art and gym! more importantly.........CONNOR. I'll just act as if nothing is different. Try to forget about this.

I stepped into the art room with as much confidence as I could. And sat down on a metal stool next to Brit. "hey" she said "hey." I replied. Connor wasn't here yet. But I decided today I would try to talk to him as much as possible despite my ugly blue head.

He walked in and flashed a smile in my direction. I just about fell over..and I was sitting down. He walked over to the drying wrack and picked up his painting. Wow. I was impressed. It was his version of "The Starry Night" by Vincent Vango.

"I didn't know you were an artist" I said stupidly. "I'm really not. I guess it just comes easy for me." He said sweetly. "I wish I was like that." I said pointing my sad sad painting of a fruitbowl in his direction. "it's not that bad.." he said. Although he said that I know in his head he was thinking 'ummm.....fruit bowl?'

He made up for that with a kind smile. Then he walked away and sat next to his friends. I'll talk to him more in gym I thought hopefully.

"Gosh, could you be anymore obvious!?!" Brit said. "Is it really?"I asked. "YES!" "oh well who cares.."

In gym we were playing kickball. I wasn't toooooo bad. But not all that great. Me and Connor were both on the same team so I got some opportunities to talk to him!!!!! Brit was on the other team with a kid named Joey. AKA her crush. AKA Connor's best friend. I saw them talking and her flashing me a grin that said 'i'm up to no good'.

It was Connor's turn to bat and he said he'd hit it right into the basketball hoop for an automatic home-run. Not knowing if that was even possible I just smirked and sarcastically replied "yeah..right"

And what do you know. Right. In. The. Hoop. He smiled at me and mouthed "told ya" I just smiled and rolled my eyes.

While he was on first base I noticed Joey whispering to him. And looking at me....Probably just distracted by my hair.

Joey had blonde hair, blue eyes, and about 5'4 as tall as Connor. And is defenitely a class clown.

Finally, It was my turn. I stepped up to the plate. Got a smirk from Joey And he yelled "kick it for Connor your dream guy!" could that be anymore cheesy? I don't know. It was stupid Joey's brain. After being lost in thought I slowly drifted back to reality.I felt my face get hot and flush. I felt tears in the back of my eyes threatening to escape. I wouldn't let them. Not now.

The eyes of every girl in the class were on me like daggers going through my head. I know what they were thinking 'the hottest guy in school would never like a blue haired new girl he barely knows who is shy and averagely pretty' And the guys were just laughing.  I finally got the courage to say something. "shut up Joey, you don't know what the heck your talking about."

He just smirked. Coach whistled JUST noticing the game had stopped and drama had arose. geez I knew he was old but not that old. "LOCKER ROOM" he shouted. The girls and guys went their separate ways. And I headed in the girls locker room to a little corner where nobody else would be changing.

After I was done, I walked up to Brit and yelled at her. "HOW COULD YOU TELL JOEY! AND TO HAVE HIM ANNOUNCE IT IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS! I DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW!'

"calm down who cares." she said rolling her eyes like it was no big deal and I shouldn't even be mad. "me and Joey were running out of things to talk about." "SO YOU JUST TELL HIM YOUR FRIENDS' SECRETS!?!?" "pretty much." she said, walking away.

UGH blue hair, now this!? What'd I do to deserve this...
