As A Blonde

I grab the scissors for the 5th time in a week. I hold them to my head about to cut all my hair off. But I stop. I can't do it. I can't cut off my ugly brown overly curly hair. I just can't. My parents would freak!!

But I want to get rid of it so bad. It's one if my insecurity, along with my cubby, flabby legs, my humongous feet, my tiny nose and my huge lips.

"Christina, are you ready?" My mom yells at me.

"Yes. Just a moment!" I yell back. I put my makeup on and run.

"Are you excited for your first day if grade 10?" My mom asks.

"Oh ya. So excited!" I say sarcastically.

"Come on. It'll be fun!"

"Fun? Being alone every second of the day is fun?"

"You have...um...what's her name?"

"Sara?"

"Ya!"

"She started to hang out with the popular girls 3 years ago."

"Oh... Don't worry you'll make friends."

"Bye hun! Have a good day!" My mom yells.

"Uh huh," I say embarrassed.

"Hi!" Sara says as she walks up to me. I look around to see if she's talking to me. "Yes you silly!"

"Hi. Did the barbies ditch you or something?" I ask coldly.

"No," she frowns. "I was wondering if you wanted to sit with us at lunch?"

I look at her like she's crazy. Not in a million years would I sit with those barbies.

"Pleeaassee!"

"I really don't want to," I say.

"Just this once?" Sara pleads.

"Fine!" I stomp off. This is gonna get interesting.

I got to my first class which was math. I hate math. I see it as 'Mental Abuse To Humans.'

There was only one spot left, beside Jared. The most popular guy in school which is also Brittany's boyfriend.

I sit down in the chair and Jared moves his desk over. I roll my eyes to myself.

What a jerk!

The first 4 periods went by pretty slow and boring. Before I knew it it's lunch.

I walk so slowly to the cafeteria. I look around searching for the barbies. I see them as soon as Sara starts to wave. I walk over to them.

"Hi!" Sara says.

"Hi," I say.

"Hi Christina. I'm Brittany this is Chole and Sophie," Brittany introduces me. They all perfectly have shiny, blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and they are wearing the shortest dresses and skirts.

"Hi," I mumble.

Brittany aka Barbie 1, whispers something in Sara's ear. Sara nods.

"Okay. Christina we are giving a one time opportunity to join our groupe."

No! Say no!

My first ingesting is that it's a joke. But the the look on Sara says that I should give it a try.

"I...um...I'll have to...think about...it."

"Okay we're giving you 24 hours. At lunch tomorrow you better have an answer!" Brittany says.
