Two Wrongs Make A Right

Mixed Signals

  I woke up at 6 am like I do ever school day but today I wasn't feelin' it so I told my mom that I wasn't going to school. She said that was fine because she's cool with everything. I grab my phone and walk into the bathroom.

         ~group convo with friends~
Me- hey guys didn't feel like going to school today so see you later. 💜
Mags- dude wtf I didn't want to go today and yet here I am by your locker getting questioned by someone's boyfriend.
Me- oops sorry, cover for me love you!

I get into the shower and do my regular routine then hop out. I check my phone and see that I have 10 missed calls from Jayson. "Ugh" I say aloud. I really like him but can't he take a hint that I want a day off. In the back of my mind I'm thinking 'what's up with this new attitude you liked him yesterday'. But shake that thought off and get dressed.
   I throw on a pair of shorts and a band t-shirt. I look at myself in the mirror and realize that I forgot to do my makeup. I throw on some concealer and mascara and I'm good to go. I run our to my car and jump in.
   I'm speeding down the road to the store and get a call. "Aren't you supposed to be doing school work or be on class right now Jayson?" I say, annoyed. "I could be asking the same thing, where are you?" He yells.
  I sigh and say "calm the hell down I wasn't about to go to school today so I didn't. Now leave me alone I want peace." I say and hang up. Immediately my phone starts ringing but I ignore it and turn up the radio.
    I finally arrive at the store and head straight for the hair section. "Hmm let's see..." I say and suddenly something catches my eye. Blue hair dye. "Perfect way to change things up." I say and pick it up. I go to the register to check out the head home.
   At home I run upstairs to my bathroom and put the dye in a bowl. I walk over to my closet and pull out an old t-shirt. I put it on then read the instructions on the side of the box. "Bye bye boring blonde hair" I say and smear blue dye all over my ends.

~about an hour later~

   I squeal as the timer on my phone goes off. I hurry over to the shower and rinse my hair out. I towel dry it at first then blow dry it. Looking in the mirror at the final outcome, I smile. "It's the exact change I needed." I say, still smiling. I snap a few pictures and send them to the group chat. Before they respond I run over and put on some ripped jeans and the same band t-shirt I had on before.
  I look at the time 1:55, ok I have enough time. I go downstairs and slip into my car. I roll down all the windows and blast music. I'm in such a food mood as a drive, I feel free. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I smile and park my car. I run into the office and sign myself in.
   It's 2 minutes before the bell so I run down to English where I know all my friends will be. I knock on the door and smile as a see people start to stare. The teacher opens the door and I walk over to my group.
  "Wow you look, ... AMAZING!" Maggie says as I sit down. I laugh and thank her. The bell rings and I walk over to my locker. Waiting there is Jayson, I laugh at his shocked face and open up my locker. I hug him and he smiles down at me. "You're perfect."  He says as he looks into my eyes. I smile and he leans in to kiss me.
   Right as he's about to touch my lips I get pushed to the side. I look up and gasp.
     "woah..." I whisper.
