Now, it looks stupid.

Oh whales ¯\_()_/¯

Also, I have to go back to school on August 1st {tomorrow ;-(}, I'm slowly getting sad and sadder each day.

Enjoy!

I quickly walk into classroom, shielding my eyebrows from as much people as possible. I see people talking to each other and some sticking their tongues down one another's throat. I'll laugh if they get Strep Throat...or some other nasty throat infection. I take my usual seat next to Kyle and don't make any movement to copy down the notes the teacher writes on the board.

"Is there a specific reason why you are having trouble following my instructions, Lavender?" Ms. Hatchet asks me and I wince when I see everyone turn to look at me.

"No, none at all." I smile at her, trying to look innocent.

"I don't know what's wrong with your generation and weird dance moves, but please refrain from covering your face with your arm in my class." She puts her hands on one of her brittle hips that I'm surprised haven't turned to dust yet.

"Ms. Hatchet, this is a girl emergency. I must cover my face."

"Why's that?"

"See, we have this new disease...yeah. It's when you see someone with bad eyebrows and..." I trail off, not knowing how to continue. "Then your eyebrow hair turns into their color eyebrow hair."

"Have you inhaled paint in a room with no windows before you left school, Lavender?"

"No." I drawl out the word. "Not at all."

Someone enters the classroom and everyone's eyes go to that person. Sally. She walks in the aisle and knocks into arm, causing my shield to my eyebrows to be dropped. I watch as everyone takes the image in for a second and start laughing. Damnit Sally!

I turn to Sally and glare at her, drawing a line over my neck. 'Why?' She mouths to me.

'Because you showed my fragile eyebrows to the cruel world, you she-devil.' I mouth back to her.

"What?" She whispers to me.

"You showed my fragile eyebrows to the cruel world, you she-devil." I whisper back to her.

"Me?! I didn't do anything, that was Fred who bumped into you." We both turn our head and see Fred standing there with a sheepish smile on his face.

"I don't care if it was Fred," I look back at her. "You're still dead."

"Drama queen." She mumbles and rolls her eyes.

"What'd you say?" I narrow my eyes at her.

She mouths something to me that I can't lip read or whatever it's called. She rolls her eyes at me and ignore me. What a rude little-

"Did Goldilocks steal your eyebrows and put hers on your forehead?" Kyle interrupts my train of thought and laughs.

"I don't know, did you get your apology letter of a birth certificate from the condom factory yet?" I retort.

"Ouch." He laughs while I flip my hair over my shoulder in a sassy way. I still got it! Lavender, been slaying basic people since 1998.

"Need some ice for that burn?" I smirk at him.

"Pfft, never."

"Ok, whatever you say." I hum.

"Seriously though, what happened to your eyebrows?" He asks, confused.

"Sibling." Is all I need to say for him to understand.

"Makes sense, you're kind of an airhead, but I don't think you have that much air in there." He proceeds to knock on my head.

"I am so smart! You don't know what you're talking about!" I declare.

Ms. Hatchet comes around with my pop quiz and places it on my desk. I see the score and quickly hide it from Kyle.

"What was that?" He asks.

"None of your beeswax!" I tried to move away from him while he tries to grab the paper from me. "Hey!" He takes the paper out of my grasp and reads it.

"Not much of an airhead, huh?" He waves the paper in my face and I grab it from him.

"Shut up." I mutter, not knowing what to say. Ms. Hatchet comes back around and places Kyle's test on his desk. I quickly snatch it away from him before he can grab it. Apparently, he got a lower score then me. Ha! Take that!

"Oh and you're so smart?" I wave it around in his face, mocking him.

"Meanie." He takes it out of my grasp and I stick my tongue out at him.

Hope you guys enjoyed!
