Hair (DISCONTINUED)

A New Cut

Snip

Snip

Snip

I hear the scissors go as I see my hair fall to the ground I smile. I look at my mom and she gives me a sad smile she did love my long hair but this is what I want besides it's only hair right?

"It's done"

I look at it and I smile "I love it thank you" I say to the hairdresser who only nods. We then leave right after paying of course, then drive home in silence.

Once we get my mom seats me down to have a talk about how school is gonna be tomorrow "I love and support you but others will judge you tomorrow. You might even get beat up just know that they don't matter but you do alright?" I nod I already knew this my mom just likes to remind me and herself.

I get to school and start the day just like any other day except when I enter the school's doors everyone goes silent. Whispers can be heard everywhere and by everyone.

I can't believe she got that hair cut

Keep walking

Is she a lesbian*?

It's okay

It doesn't even look stylish

They don't matter

Is she a boy now?

Your hair is amazing

Is that a new kid?

I ignored then and kept walking

No that's just Alice always the freak

I kept encouraging myself as I walked passed.

Freak

Was the hallway always this long?

Weirdo

Keep walking you can do this.

Hahahaha

I reached my class ten minutes before the bell was supposed to rang and sat down. I drew little sketches of people, memories of the past, and my surroundings with a little twist. Then I hear footsteps I look up and notice a group of boys and girls surround me and so it begins.

"What happened to your long soft beautiful hair?" Vicky Martin said I didn't know much about her only that this could possibly be the only time we talked.

"I cut it what do you think? And my hair is still soft and beautiful." I simply respond but I think I sounded sarcastic. That's what happens when you use sarcasm too much can't even tell your own voice apart.

"Are you lesbian now?" Ahh yes Timothy Grant possibly the most stupidest person I met. "No, I just had too much hair so I needed a refresher." I then ran my fingers through my hair as if to prove a point.

The 5 minute bell rang I stood up to address every one around me
"Ladies and gentleman please no more question will be taken at this time. The next interview will be taking place at the lunchroom at noon for further information ask my assistant..." I snapped my fingers giving the effect as if I'm trying to remember "Debbie!" Someone shouted "Yes! Debbie of course" I smiled and everyone sinkered or stuffled a giggle then I sat back down.

"That wasn't very lady like Alice" someone said I turned around in my seat, my arch enemy, Abigale Marie. Ever have that feeling where you just hate a person for no reason that is what Abigale was to me. Normally they wouldn't be your arch enemy but that was the only why to describe her personality wise. Physically she was beautiful no doubt she had long hair up to her shoulders and today she wore a pestle colored dress.

"Hmph why is your boyfriend offering lessons?" I retorted smirking at her she only narrowed her brown eyes at me and stay down in her seat. By the way her boyfriend is a coward and shallow most of the time he was the damsel in distress.

Class soon began and it soon ended nothing happened except that the teacher Ms. Oak acted differently towards me. I'm a smart kid so I raise my hand often to answer questions but she didn't call on me. It felt like she was Snape and I was Hermione and she was secretly telling me to stop being a know it all. I ended up staying after curious as to what I did wrong. Ms. Oak was well into her late 40s and she very old fashioned that should've been my first clue, "Um Ms.Oak I was wondering if I did something wrong today?" She simply sighed and looked at me and nodded. "You cut your hair to the most improper way for a young lady I thought you would know better now please leave I must prepare for my next class" Well shit I thought as I left I wasn't fazed but that was unexpected.

Noon arrived as it should I was passed hateful notes but nothing I couldn't handle. I didn't normally eat at school I mostly sat with my golden trio Sarah and Oliver. My best friends are like any other best friends they were there for me and supported me no matter what. But to picture them perfectly they were like Han Solo and Princess Leia, obviously I was Luke Skywalker. Oliver a flirt sly snake but loyal none the less. Sarah is strong and persuasive she was like a sister to me. The president of the debate team too as a fun fact, however just like Solo and Leia they are always fighting yet deep down they love each other.

"Hello my dear friends how's the day been for you guys?" This is the only time I get to see them besides after school. "It's hasn't been that bad only that nobody has stopped talking about how 'inappropriate' your hair is" Oliver said while rolling of his eyes. Sarah nods "It happened this morning in debate club how dare they talk about you while I was there, god the nerve." She sighed and calmed down then muttered "that's society for you I guess..." I smiled.

"Amen to that sister." She looked at me with a chuckle and a roll of eyes. Then suddenly she looked concerned "how has it been for you? Anyone giving you beef?" I shake my head "Don't worry your little head nothing I can't handle just hate notes and whispers." I shrug she was relived.

We had a good laughs until Oliver said "Straight ahead" and nods his head in that direction "Aye captain" I mutter. Abigale and couple of people I didn't know came close "Ooo you guys just missed the interview but I can make an exception" I say when they became close enough "You look like a boy with that haircut and those jeans and t-shirt don't help you" Abigale spoke "Well good thing my glass are safe but rest assure my dear Abigale I am female" I say as I stand and pat her head. She scoffed and narrowed her eyes again "Whatever Alice you'll see the error of your ways soon enough" I laugh and whisper

"Ooooo spooky~"

She stormed off to who knows where, I wrap my arms around Sarah and Oliver who were both too tall for me. I smile "Now guys how about we head are separate ways and rejoin after school for some delicious food at my house."

And that's what happened we went home and ate. Oliver suggested we watch a scary movie but don't let his blond hair and confidence fool you because he was a downright sucker for them can't get more than half way through one. So far today wasn't as bad as I expected considering I went up against society today.

*In many videos of pros and cons for pixie cuts a common con is that people think they are lesbian based on their hair this was simply based on that.
