Purple-black hair waved in front of her eyes as the girl stared down at her sketchbook. A drawing of a bottle with a tiny galaxy inside and lilies surrounding the bottle lays on the page. She runs her finger across the page, letting her memories flood her. How her eyes lit up with stars as she sat with her friends, causing chaos. How her midnight eyes shine bright with stars as she plays her cello in class, messing around with her friends in the small classroom. A smile dusted her lips as she walks down the street with her group of friends, sporting black ripped jean shorts and a crop top. They yell and talk about different things, her long green hair at the time messy from the flowers out into her hair. Her skin glowed with constellations etched along her skin and flowers in her hair. Now she sits on her bed, her long hair now cut short and messy. Her eyes deprived of any light they once had, but soon those eyes would be relit as another school year starts. Her eyes, lips, and skin dusted lightly with stardust and with lilies in her hair.
