Starting over (Hayes Grier fanfic)

Chapter 20

Monday

Today I decided to straighten my hair even more and put makeup on. I put on foundation and then blush, mascara, eye liner, and a light red lipstick. I put on high waisted shorts and a crop top. When I got to school all of the boys were whistling at me and were helping me with my stuff. When I got to my locker a lot of boys surrounded me. When the boys piled up Brandon came up to me.

"Get over here", he said.

"Yes, I said acting innocent.

"What are you wearing?".

"An outfit, you likey?"

"No I don't likey, because this isn't you".

"It's the new me".

"No it's not , you're just trying to get Hayes back."

"No I like the way I look".

"You're wearing shorts and a crop top in December".

"Yup and what's wrong?".

"Everything. Bella this isn't you, you don't wear makeup, or crop tops or shorts in December".

"Yes i do".

"You can barely walk".

"I know but I can't just be myself anymore".

"Bells he'll come back if he likes you but acting like someone else isn't gonna help".

" I know but..... Then he cut me off".

"Take my hoodie and go get your yoga pants from your gym locker and put that on, you have 15 minutes so hurry".

I ran to my locker and grabbed my pants and I wore his baseball hoodie which smelled like Hollister. After I finished changing I still had 7 minutes so I found him again.

"Thanks for all of your help".

"It's no big deal".

I hugged him really tight and he kissed my cheek and we intertwined our hands and he carried my backpack in his other hand and we got into class. I sat at a table with Mia, Brandon, a girl named Loren and a boy named Weston. We all worked together on a class project and we got an A. We were reading the book Romeo and Juliet and the book was somewhat interesting at some points.

After class

I was wobbling to class when Hayes stopped me.

"Do you need help?".

"No, I said while nearly falling".

He grabbed my backpack and carried it to my science class.

"Thanks".

"No problem".

He looked at me and he stopped in a corner before I got to class.

"Are you wearing makeup?"

"Oh I was but I took it off".

"What was that this morning?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your crop top and shorts in December".

"I was trying a new look out".

"Don't change your look, I like it".

"Like what, a familiar voice said.

I turned around to see Hannah with her arms wrapped around Hayes.

"I like her crutches".

"They're metal but ok, she said and walked to class".

"Why did you lie I questioned".

"She's over protective".

"Oh that's cool".

"I like your look still

"I like the way you look too".

"Well that's good for us then".

"Yeah I guess".

"Oh how are you and Brad".

"We broke up".

"When?".

" 2 months ago".

"What did he do?".

"Nothing I just didn't feel a connection".

"Oh well I'm sorry".

"Yeah, what about you and Hannah?".

"I don't know anymore, things change".

"Oh".

"We should get to class".

"Yeah.
