Infinity; A Story That Will Make you Self-Consious

I

I'm walking around school, carrying my school things to my locker, listening to other people having their own conversations.

I blend in.

I'm like every other person in my school. I wake up, come here in my black and tan uniform, I sit through classes, taking notes like a good student, and go home and enjoy my life.

I do enjoy myself.

I love the friends I have, I love the boyfriend I have, my grades are spectacular.

Everything I have, I enjoy.

Except for one thing...

But we can talk about that later. There's no need to rush things.

I open my locker and grab my belongings before I hurry out of the busy hallways to the courtyard, but I decide to stop in the bathroom before leaving.

I walk in to see mirrors.

I look away instantly, but I slowly turn back to look at my hair.

It looks fine.

That's all I needed to look at.

I hurry out of there before I can do anything else and head to the courtyard, where my friends are waiting for me.

"Megan!" My friend Theya shouts to me and waves.

I smile and walk over. "Hey guys!"

"How did your classes go?" My other friend, Bailey asks. "Any exams?"

I shake my head. "Only one, but I passed it with flying colours."

"Expected," Theya comments. "You have one of the best GPA's in this school."

I shrug my shoulder. "True."

Bailey looks at me. "Nice hair today. Did you look in a mirror?"

I shake my head. "Not for long, like usual."

Theya looks at me confused. "Why don't you ever look in the mirror?" She asks.

I look at her. "I just hate how I look. I'd rather not get self-conscious about myself..."

Theya shrugs her shoulders. "It's alright. Everyone's self conscious about themselves."

I look at her and shake my head slowly this time. "You don't understand."

"I have a fear of mirrors."

**

I hate mirrors.

I've always hated them.

I hate how they reflect my image back to me.

I look at myself everyday, wondering why I look this way. Why is my hair blonde? Why is it an ugly blonde colour, despite everyone saying it looks natural on me? Why don't I like my brown eyes?

Why don't I like my image?
