Two-Faced

A new me

The next morning greets me with the same old orange blaze of light boring into my eyes through the gaps betweem the curtain and the windowsill. The same old soumd pf my parents getting ready for work, the clink of plates and teacups, the grinding and whirring of the coffee machine. My eyes snap open as a thought comes to me: 'I am going to walk into that hellhole today and show them who I am. No more pretending. No more lies.'

I washed my face with cold water, then braided my hair into a tight plait. The next part was my easiest decision; what to wear. I pulled out my baggy, five sizes too big heavy metal rock shirt, and also my ripped jeans with a rough looking belt. Who knows why they were in my wardrobe, but then again, my mum does always expect to find Narnia at the back of my many outfits.

I managed to persuade my mum to drive me to school, and, being the lovely, caring person she is, she dropped me off right at the entrance. I walked straight into my form room, and once again, people all turned to stare at me. It was at that moment that the realization dawned on me: I was trying to be the real me, but the person I had been striving to be for my whole high school life, was me. I had become the person I had made myself out to be. I was the most popular, perfect and pretty girl in the school. And I knew it. You want to know how? I saw it reflected in everyone's eyes, the adoration. And, for once in my life, I felt satisfied.

Now you may be thinking, 'Hang on a second, you were insecure and self conscious, and now you are too big for your boots and big headed? What is going on?'

Well, I will leave that to you to decide. I have no clue where my life is going, and I have a feeling this is just the beginnong of the ride. But whatever bumps amd turns it may take, I know it will end well. I know it.
