Cherry's P.O.V.
It was Monday. I was late again. (Not that I cared, really, it was just another day and it wasn't like school's important). Anyway- I was cycling to school (or rather motorbiking to school) I had the usual process repeated:
"You're Late"
"You need a detention"
"Where's your school uniform?"
"Is that makeup?"
(and so on...)
After the usual comments, I sat down in my tutor room. There was really only one thing I liked about school- the reputation I had gained.
As soon as I entered tutor, the room went silent. Everybody else was there, with their 'posh' school uniform that made them look as if they had no individuality.

And then there was me. I was standing there in black skinny jeans and my black vest with the word "GEEK" across it. (Of Course I wasn't a geek, but it looks cool, and that's all that matters, right?) And my make- up was only minimal- My lipstick was Mac's "Cherry" Lipstick, and then I had eyeshadow on, my eyebrows hardly filled in, seeing as they're always on point, and my eyelashes with their 6 coats of mascara.

Despite the fact I wasn't wearing too much makeup and clothing against school rules (or "Guidelines" as I like to call them) I was sent to the headmaster, Mr H. Green.

First off He gave me a long speech about how "different cultures have different perceptions of beauty"- and then he passed me a packet of makeup wipes and got out a mirror- so that I removed my makeup. my face looked so bare without it- like it was missing its beauty. Next was my school uniform.

Obviously Mr Green had a set of my uniform at school- my parents make sure that I have some at school- seeing as they can't persuade me to wear uniform themselves.

For this I went into a back room and got changed into the plain uniform, becoming less individual and more boring.
When I returned into the room, Mr Green told me to sit down again, and told me I was to guide a new student around.
How Fun.
