"you sure you can do this?" I ask Jemima for what seems like the 50th time.
"yes! I went to beauty school for a year I can do it" she assured to stop me from asking.
"ok..ok do it" I said hiding my face in my hands.
"there's no turning back once i do it, are you sure?" Jemima asks with a worried expression on her face.
"Jemima!"
"ok I'm sorry!"
And in about half an hour and a few tears and squeals my long hair was chopped off into a pixie cut. Having hair that nearly reached your ass when you're on the road and barely showering is hard, a girl's gotta do what a girls gotta do right?
"holy shit" I said examining my hair.
"it looks really good I promise" Jemima told me with a proud look on her face.

I sat down with my ipod playing and was looking out the window as we pass by road signs and I watched the breathtaking view while the boys were jamming in the back of the bus, I closed my eyes and breathed all of this in, it was perfection.
I pulled out my book and started writing a bunch of drafts, it's been a while since I last wrote and I was a bit rusty but it's something that I enjoyed alot and the atmosphere really helped me write.
"Alice" I heard Winston calling.
"over here" I called back and I heard him coming over as I put my book back in my bag.
"oh there you are I-what happened to your hair?!" he asked me in shock.
"i told Jemima to cut it off" I said with a smile and an expression on my face hoping he likes it.
"you look really good" he complimented smiling wide with a nod-hopefully a genuin compliment!-and sat down beside me "I wanted to ask you something".
"what's up?" I ask adjusting my position towards him.
"I didn't know you were a Vaccines fan" he sounded surprised looking through my ipod.
"yeah they're amazing" I said.
"yeah I know we're mates with these guys" he motioned to my ipod with a nod.
"you're kidding" I said with my jaw dropped.
"no we've been mates forever" he laughed.
"im seriously jealous" I shook my head "so you wanted to ask me something?" I reminded him.
"well, we have a two week break and my mum called me asking me to visit for a day..and I thought maybe you'd like to come?" he said with a smile holding my hand-how could I say no to this face.
"I don't know any French though" I giggled.
"don't worry she speaks english, not so good but you know, the basic stuff is all she'd need to have a conversation with you" he told me.
"oh so you're saying I won't be able to carry a conversation unless it consists of elementary school sentences" I ask folding my arms jokingly.
"no thats not what I meant I-fuck just come with me will ya" he laughed.
"I'd love to" i gave him a peck on the cheek "and maybe we can check on my dad as well?"
"sure we can do that too" he agreed.
"great".
"you really do look beautiful" he said again.
"merci monsieur Marshall" I teased and hit him lightly with my shoulder.
