The next morning I was exhausted. I've never had that much fun with anyone ever. None of my friends on my home planet are that exciting. I yawned and rolled out of bed. I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I didn’t take my makeup off last night so I had black smudged all over my eyes. I giggled at how funny I looked and got ready to take a shower. I hopped into the shower and a few minutes after, my cell phone started to ring. The upside about having no hair is that showers are really quick. I got out of the shower and quickly wrapped myself in a towel. I went and found my cell phone. The call wasn’t from my home planet. It must be from Jenna. I had given her my number last night and told her to call me in the morning so we could hang out again. “Hello?” I said, answering my phone. “Hey, Diana, it’s Jenna. Do you want to go to the beach today?” “Yea sure.” I paused. “But I don’t have a swimsuit.” That's one thing I remember that wasn’t in my suitcase. “Then we’ll go shopping!” Jenna said. We agreed I’d go and pick Jenna up at her house in 20 minutes. I headed over to her place 5 minutes later. I just quickly did my makeup because I didn’t have much time. I threw on a pair of light denim shorts and a pink tank top. I stuck on my wig and brushed it a little. Then I headed out. I had trouble finding her house. Good thing I left real early. When I got there she was waiting outside her front door. I stopped the truck and she hopped in. We headed to the mall to do some shopping. We decided we weren’t just going to shop for bathing suits. We decided to go full on shopping instead of going to the beach. We headed into the mall. First we popped into the swimsuit store. Jenna and I grabbed a couple swimsuits to try on. We went into the change rooms and tried on our first swimsuits. I left the change room and looked in the mirror. Jenna came out of her change room. We both were looking at ourselves in the mirror. We both looked pretty damn hot. A couple guys walking by the store popped in so they could get a better look at us. We giggled and waved then went and showed off the rest of our swimsuits. They whistled every time we came out. After we finished showing off they slipped us their phone numbers. We bought our swimsuits and went to the next store. We ended up shopping for six hours!  After we finished shopping our arms were sore from all the bags we had to carry. We decided we would go out for some dinner. I asked Jenna if she wanted to invite John. “Yea! Thanks!” she said smiling. She grabbed her cell phone and called John. “John will be there in 10 minutes.” “Alright.” I say. I drive us down to the restaurant. John’s there within 5 minutes of us getting there. We talk and have fun again. These guys are definitely going to be my friends.

   A week later things start to change. John doesn’t come along when Jenna and I hang out, and Jenna doesn’t seem herself. Today I'm going over to her house to surprise her. I want to find out what’s going on. After I get ready I quickly drive over there. Maybe this has something to do with relationships. I need to do more observing on that. I have all the information I need about their eating habits and their currency. Now all I need to complete my mission is relationship information. I'm soon at Jenna’s house. I knock on her door. It takes her a while to come to the door. She rips the door open and shouts, “What?” I take a step back, confused. She lets out a breath and says, “I’m so sorry. I thought you were going to be John.” “That's okay.” I said. “What’s going on with you two anyways?” She invited me inside and we went and sat on her couch. “We broke up.” She started. “How come?” I asked. “He was avoiding me, and I couldn’t figure out why. I suspected he was cheating, but he denied it. I think he was lying though. Why would he deliberately avoid me all week? Anyways, I dumped him. He kept coming back trying to apologize, but I wasn’t going for it. I’m done with him. He was starting to annoy me. He would never pay attention to me when we talked. He was always staring out in space.” She sighed. “I never did anything to him to make him treat me that way.” Her eyes started tearing up again. “I'm so sorry.” I say. “You deserve so much better than him.” Somehow I feel like this is kind of my fault. I think I might be the reason John was avoiding Jenna. I sigh and go give Jenna a hug. She cries on my shoulder for a couple minutes. After that we just hang around her house. She has invited me to stay overnight. I agreed and borrowed some P.J’s. It’s very inconvenient always having to wear my shoes when I'm at someone’s house. If I don’t, my heel-toe shows through my socks. Luckily I have a pair of slippers in the car so I can wear those to bed instead of my shoes. The next morning I left before Jenna woke up. I left her a note saying that something came up so I had to leave. I went back to the hotel and showered and changed. Then I headed to John’s house. It took me a while before I finally remembered where he lived. I’d only been there once before. I parked my truck and walked up his driveway to his door. I rang the door bell. I was standing there for a minute. No answer. I rang the door bell again. I sighed and was about to leave when I felt a strange pain on the back of my head where my third eye is. I reached my hand back and felt it. I was having trouble keeping my eye open. I tried prying it open. Something was wrong. I turned and started walking to my truck when the door opened. “Hey!” John said. “What are you doing here?” I quickly walked up to him and stood in front of him. Way to close for comfort. “Why’d you do that to Jenna?” I snapped. He took a step back, shocked. “I...um...don't know what you're talking about.” He stammered.  “Yes you do!” I said, angry. “You just completely ignored her this whole week! She thinks you were cheating on her!” I paused, “Were you cheating on her?” I asked, tilting my head slightly. “No! Of course not!” he shouted. “Then explain to me why you were ignoring her.” I said. “I like someone else.” He said. I just stared at him. That idiot! Why didn’t he just say that in the first place? How immature of him to just go and ignore his girlfriend for a week. “Did you ignore her so she would break up with you so you wouldn’t have to do it?” I asked. He looked guilty. I knew his answer. I sighed and walked away. “Wait!” He shouted. He ran after me. He grabbed my shoulder and turned me around. Then he did something I never would have expected him to do. He kissed me. Not just a little peck either, it was a full on tongue kiss. I did something I regret. I kissed him back. Hard. I ran my hands through his hair just like I wanted to the first day I met him. He ran his hands up and down my back. He guided me to my truck and pressed me up against it. I couldn’t breathe, he was crushing me. Surprisingly, I didn’t care. We kept on kissing until he reached up to touch my hair. I froze, and then quickly pushed him away. I hadn’t gotten to buy a nicer feeling wig so my hair still felt very fake. And plus I didn’t want him to accidentally knock my wig off. Even though it’s practically glued to my head, you never know. “What’s wrong?” he asked. He seemed quite concerned. “It’s nothing. I just don't like it when people touch my hair.” “How come?” he asks. “I just don't!” I snapped. He looked surprised. “I'm sorry.” I whispered. “It’s okay.” John said, kissing my forehead. I suddenly felt a great pain on my heel. I flinched at the pain. John didn’t notice. I pretended I couldn’t feel it, but I could. God, I could feel the pain. “I have to go.” I said quickly. I turned for the door to  my truck. John grabbed my arm. “When will I get to see you again?” I looked up into his green eyes and say, “Soon.” Oh shit, what have I done?
