26

I woke up on top of Dad and Daddy. We cuddled last night and that comforted me a lot. But not totally. I have an urge to go do something brave, but it's probably going to be something stupid. I'm not going to school for the a little bit, or at least the rest of this week. I slowly got up and moved watching Daddy wrap his arms around Dad's waist. I then headed to my room putting one a white shirt and some black skinny jeans with my normal black converses. I switched my glasses for my contacts that make my eyes completely black. Grabbing my wallet, I headed out the door. I arrived at the mall and headed to get my hair cut. My hair is now up to my shoulders. I grabbed some hair dy and left walking the mall.

When I left the mall I had my hair cut and new clothes. Instead of heading home though, I headed to Andrew Lanson's house. Sooo, you know how I told you I only had one friend who liked me for me and since now I don't, I turned to the one kid who is nice to me but not really my friend. He's been out of high school for 3 years now, but we still keep in touch. He opened the door after one knock saying, "Alexander Katherine, what brings me this great honor." "Will you help me dye my hair?" I asked. He chuckled nodding, pulling me inside and to his bathroom. "So why the big change?" He asked and I replied, "It's kinda a long story." "I got time." He stated. So I launched into my story.

 When I was done, so was my hair. My hair is no longer it's blackish-brown color, it is now a vibrant purple with light/pale blue tips. My dads will probably get mad but I'm at least gonna talk and eat. they'll just have to get over it. Andrew put in his all black contacts and sat on his bed. I was walking back and forth waiting for an answer. I just felt awkward and distressed because I don't know what to do. Andrew grabbed my wrists pulling me towards him and placed his hands on the small of my back. "I'm sorry all this happened to you. You don't deserve that. You're the kind of girl who deserves to be treated with respect and deserves someone who treats you right." Andrew said standing up before bending down and kissing me. I kissed back and this kiss was different than Nick's and it was sweet and kind. Breaking the kiss he asked in a whisper, "Kat, will you go out with me?" "Yes." I breathed out as he said laying his forehead against mine, "How about Friday night, we'll go get pizza and then come back here for movies." "Awesome, what time?" I said. He replied, "8." I nodded and he drove me home.

After Andrew left, I slowly walked in the door with bags in hand as Dad called, "Alex, is that you?" "yeah." I hollered back. He yelled, "Come to the kitchen please." "one sec, I gotta put stuff in my room first." I said as I jogged to my room setting down my bags and then made my way to the kitchen. Entering the kitchen, Dad dropped a plate and Daddy gasped. "Alexander, what did you do?" Dad asked.  I said, "I had the urge to do something brave." "You went out and did something stupid" Dad said. I kinda shrugged saying, "Hey, at least I'm gonna be eating and talking." "No harming?" They questioned. I said, "Haven't yet, but can't keep that promise." They grumbled giving in and hugging me.
