My steps were lively and bouncy as I headed to school, deciding to change my appearance at school once again. It's been a new school year, but I'm tired of this stoic persona. I want to fool around with people, I want to speak carelessly without being taken as if I blessed someone with my voice.
With a new personality comes a new hairstyle. Over summer I chose to grow out my hair to shoulder length so I could get it cut this year. My crown was all long hair that stopped at chin length with an undercut. I used water this morning to have it all pushed back, knowing it'll be fluffy when it dries completely. Around my right wrist was a small hair tie and there was a clip in my pocket for when I want to actually work on my notes without a curtain of hair obscuring my vision. I also bleached and dyed it, changing it from (h/c) to silver while my buzzed undercut was dyed black. I got my septum pierced, wearing a silver horseshoe in it while I wore a matching silver tongue piercing. My ears were already pierced but I decided against wearing earrings since they can be a pain.
I got stares as I stepped into campus, a lazy smile on my face as I headed to class. While I was outside the door, a hand was placed on my shoulder. Glancing over my shoulder, I recognized it to be Tanaka. I haven't spoken to him since Noya stopped talking to me. So over half a year. He looked surprised as he recognized my lazy smirk that looked nothing but sinister on me.
"(L/n)! You're scaring people, they think your a new kid or something." Tanaka tried to give his own intimidating smile, making me stop and just stare at him in mild annoyance. My resting face can be scary when mixed with annoyance, making an intense bitch face.
"Do I look like I give a shit?" I scoffed, my smirk soon returning as I shrugged off Tanaka's hand. "They'll soon realize who I am, just like the kids back in elementary did."
I pulled my left cheek and bottom eye lid down with my middle finger while backing into my class, sticking out my tongue to make him angry. Instead of being pissed, he stared at the tongue piercing for a few seconds before walking off. Slightly peeved that he ignored my taunt, I stopped and walked back to my seat and sat down. Getting comfortable, I soon found myself asleep with my face down on the desk.
I was awoken when someone touched me, making me shoot upright and glare at the offender. It was a girl, she looked intimidated by my glare. I stopped and lazily sat back, yawning softly and stretching out my arms.
"(L/n), please refrain from sleeping during class." The teacher called, glaring at me across the room.
"Got it, sensei." I replied, not caring.
Opening my notebook, I made it look like I was taking notes of what we did in class. But instead, I was actually drawing different hairstyles and outfits to decide what I should make myself look like in a few months along with the change in outfit aesthetics. Silver strands of hair kept falling in my face while I was drawing, getting on my nerves. I sat upright and pulled my hair back into a bun, tying it with my hair tie as a few loose strands fell out of the bun and framed my face nicely. I was stared at by a few of my classmates, making me glance over and stick out my tongue as a taunt while flipping them off. A few looked away quickly while some looked at me in shock.
Getting annoyed, I turned back to my notes and started to draw again. I never stopped drawing, I just stopped taking extra curricular activities for it. When the bell rang to signal break, everyone began to swarm in their friend groups while avoiding me. I closed my notebook and put my head down, deciding to take a small nap until class starts again. Well, I would of if Tanaka didn't wonder into my class and try talking to me.
"Oi, don't ignore me." He finally was starting to get mad, poking my head. "Tell me why you changed again."
"Fuck off, I'm trying to sleep." I muttered, moving my head to turn it the other way. Tanaka walked over to the other side of the desk and lightly pulled on my septum piercing, irritating me more and more. "What don't you get about 'fuck off,' Tanaka?"
