My alarm fills the room with it's annoying tone. I wake up with a smile on my face as I recall the events of last night, but my smile fades away as soon as I remember it's Tuesday and that I have to go to school. I pull the sheets off and try to get up, but something restricts me. I look beside me and see a sleeping Michael Clifford. I smile at him and carefully remove his arm.

I push the covers off of me, but not Michael. I tuck the blanket underneath him, making him look like a mermaid. I laugh to myself and take a picture.

Making sure Michael is still asleep, I grab my uniform and I creep out to the bathroom and close the door quietly behind me. I look in the mirror and see myself differently. A smile is on my cheeks, a warm glow radiates off of me, my eyes are shining and I look... Happy. I like the girl I see in the mirror. I turn the tap on and wash my face.

I change into my school uniform dress. A plaid green, blue, yellow, and white dress that buttons down from my collar bone to just above my hips. I pull over the light green jumper and pull the collar over. I pull my hair into a side braid and clip a bit of my fringe away. I pull it a part a little to loosen it and make it a bit messy. I pull my socks on and slip on my black shoes.

I walk back to my room and find Michael wide awake, fully dressed in the school uniform some how, and on his phone.

"Hello little mermaid," I joke to him, throwing my previously worn clothes into the laundry basket like a basket ball.

"You have to admit though, it looked and was pretty comfy." He says, pulling his eyes away from his phone. He looks up to me and smiles warmly, causing me to smile right back at him.

"Yeah, okay," I agree. I jump down next to him and grab my guitar.

"You look different.... A good different." He smiles at me. I take in that I look.... Good, today and I smile at the compliment Michael gave me.

"Thank you," I say quietly. I play a riff on the guitar, I strum a few more chords.

"I mean it," he says truthfully. He puts his phone away into his pocket and grabs my guitar. I lean over to my desk and grab my Polaroid camera. I hold it in front of Michael and I and we pull funny faces. Michael strums the guitar a bit while we wait for it to print out.

It prints out and I look at it, studying my face carefully. My head is tilted in towards Mike and my cheeks are puffed out, full of air and my eyes are cross eyed. One of my free hands is holding up the peace sign. I can see that I look different in this picture. I look... Happy... Michael is pouting, his eyebrows are up as he holds a peace sign over his left eye.

"See, you look beautiful," Michael says, and ruffles my hair, careful not to mess up my braid.

"Yeah, I do," I whisper, more to myself than to Michael.

I gesture for Michael to take the camera and photo, he takes it out of my hands. I lean over to my desk again, this time, I grab a sharpie and pull the lid of with my teeth. I grab the photo and write at the bottom,

He looks towards me and I hand him the photo. He reads what I wrote at the bottom and laughs. He hands me the photo back and I get off the bed. I straighten my dress as I walk to my wall that's full of Polaroid captured moments. I grab some spare blu-tack and stick it to the back of the photo. I place the photo next to one where Jaydn and I are smiling together. I squish the spot where the blu-tack is so it would be secure.
