The Bucketlist Bitches

sparks fly

The next morning i get up, grab a high waisted black skirt and a white crop top, and get shock when i see myself in the mirror. My jaw falls to my chest as i take in my pink hair and try to remember why the fuck my hair is like this. Then i remember the Bucketlist, and i close my mouth. My heart races faster and i can feel my palms sweating. I'm nervous. I'm nervous for what people are going to think about it. Even though I love the colour, it doesn't mean everyone else will. What if they think I'm a freak.

I stand like this for what feels like hours, thinking, and maybe regretting a little bit.  But then i remember that I'm not the only one, Hannah and Renee also dyed their hair. I don't know if this is positive or negative though. I take a deep breath,  and laugh. Why should I worry about what other people think of my hair,  when l Absolutely love it? That's right,  i shouldn't! 

I start braiding my hair in a long fishtail braid, and i put a flower crown with white roses on my head. Then i put on the black high waisted skirt and the white crop top, leaving an inch of my tanned skin bare. Gotta use the last hot days carefully. 

Today i decide to put on some extra eyeliner, because do i need a reason? Anyways, I eat a quick breakfast consisting of fruit and orange juice.  Healthy me.

As promised, I put on my white converse and leave the house with my longboard in my hands. Smiling, i roll to school, feeling the vibration of the board tickling in my feet. I close my eyes, letting the crisp air blow over my face. God, i love longboarding.

Me, Hannah and Renee had started with it last spring. We just sat on the vouch one day, and i said: "We should learn how to longboard" and we did.

As i arrive at school,  i pick up my board and brace myself to enter. "One. Two. Three" and then i walk in.

"Woah" I hear people mutter when i enter the hallway. A smile finds it's way to my face and i open my locker. "Looking good, Cat! " I hear Evan say behind me and i turn around to face him. "Thank you" i say and smile. " Is it permanent?" He asks, his blue eyes looking into mine. "Kind of, it will last for a month or two" " I like it" He smiles and for a moment we just stand there, looking at each other, but then Renee crashes into me and our moment is over.

The day is long,  but not at all boring. In second period, we find John and ask him why he threw bananas at us. To this he answers: "Because it was fun. We first thought of throwing water at you, but then we figured that was just plain mean" "Trowing bananas at us wasn't that nice either" we say and he laughs.

Then in fourth period, a fruit war suddenly breaks out and we have to hide under our desks to not get hit by flying oranges. But that doesn't help much, because I suddenly feel someone grabbing my ankles, tearing me from my hiding place. When i look up, I expect to see Renees face, but it's not Renee; It's Evan.

"Sorry to do this to you." He says and smears half an orange in my face. I scream and try to get away from him, but he's straddling me so it's impossible to get away.

I lay still for a moment, and he relaxes Thinking I've given up. But then i roll over, getting him under me. I really hope my skirt doesn't slide up, revealing my underwear.  Luckily,  my skirt stays in place.

"Someone give me some fruit! " i scream,  but no one seems to notice, everyone is too caught up in the war. Frantically, I look around, and see some carrots laying beside me. I prick them up and get a fabulous idea. "Prepare for revenge" i tell Evan, and he struggles to get free. "Not so fast" i say and hold him in place. Now for the revenge.

I break the carrot in two and shove the two pieces up his nostrils. He looks so ridiculous laying there woth me on top of him amd with carrots in his nose, that i burst out laughing. Then i take a quick phito with my phone and he once again tries to escape. He almost manages to roll Me over, but i start tickling him. And to my amusement,  he turns out to be extremely ticklish.
