The start of a new school year and a new change, once shoulder length green hair is now in a pixie cut and purple. The girl that once didn't wear makeup now wears black eyeliner, her style has adapted to platform boots and a goth/alt style with occasional graphic shirts thrown in. The girl changed over the summer but started to get more comfortable with herself, starting to finally accept herself. All the markings on her body, etched into her skin like stars, the scars that litters her body, her body shape, all of her insecurities. She started to love herself and it started to show on how she holds herself, she gained more confidence in who she was and started not caring what others think of her. She is brighter now, her friends even notice that. Her mentality has gotten better though her anxiety is still not the best, she was slowly getting better. She has changed since she first got her heart broken three years ago, she changed since she ripped her own heart up a year ago. Now here she is in Junior year, getting ready for her last year before she ends up having to leave everything behind. She reaches out to grab her friends and make the most of her time left, her purple hair that is being grown out blowing in the wind as it has lilies placed in them. The black eyeliner making her eyes pop has her gaze fixated on her friends, trying to make the most of everything before she loses them. Forever.
