The Healings of a Broken Heart: 01

Saphire's POV:

Ever since my breakup with William, guys think that they can just line up and start asking me out. I got so sick and tired of it all! Like, why can't they just understand that I'm not looking for another boyfriend. How is that so hard to understand? They never asked me out before and now they think that they can just ask me out, after I had my heart broken for the first time? I have had just about enough of all this crap! Drastic times call for drastic measures, or something like that. There's only one thing that'll stop all this and that is a little change, or maybe a lot of change.

It was a Sunday evening. I had decided to go shopping. I took a bus to the mall and went hunting for some new clothes. I bought some new clothes, shoes, and some makeup. After that I went to the salon to get my hair done. I told one of the ladies what to do. At first she looked at me, confused, but then she shrugged it off and got down to work. When I got back to Kadic, it was almost dark. I hurried to my room. I took out my old clothes and put them in a small brown box. Then I put my new clothes up in the hangers. I didn't have any homework, so I went to bed early. Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow it'll all change for the better; I hope.

Before I went to sleep, I had set my alarm clock to 6:30. When it rang, I turned it off. I didn't have a roommate and I was glad of that. I quickly slipped on my new clothes and put on some makeup. I looked at my appearance in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. I looked at my alarm clock, 7:00.

"Time for breakfast," I said to myself. "And time for everyone to see your new look, Saphire."

I grabbed my bag and headed out the door. I didn't meet anyone in the hall.

'Good, everyone's at the cafeteria.' I thought.

When I got to the lunchroom, I saw everyone freeze and stare at me. Usually, if that happened any other day, I would've blushed like crazy and run away from there. But, today for some reason I felt brave. So, I just smiled at everyone and walked over to my friends. They were at our usual table. I saw Aelita seated next to Jeremie. Across from them was Ulrich sitting alone, guess Yumi's not here yet.

"Saphire?" Aelita asked, looking at me in disbelief.

"Hi." I said simply.

"What did you do?"

"Just a little change."

I heard everyone go back to normal and heard Yumi's voice from behind me.

"Hi, everybody," she said. When she saw me, she looked horrified. "Whoa, what'd you do to yourself?"

"I have decided to change my appearance to keep the boys away from me." I answered.

Yumi sat down next to Ulrich and I sat on his other side.

"So, you're gonna stay like that forever?" Ulrich asked me.

"Yup. Probably till I'm dead." I said.

"What about your other clothes?" Aelita asked this time.

"I'll donate them to charity."

I started eating breakfast and soon the others did too. I thought that maybe turning into this would change things for good, but actually I just made it a whole lot worse. Now that I was like this, Sissi's teasing got worse. But, hey, at least the boy's stopped. My new image was emo/goth.

Today I had worn a mini black skirt with hot pink tights, pink and black high top converses, black and fuchsia fingerless gloves, and a black and pink hoodie with cat ears. The store I had to visit to get all these was Hot Topic. The store where you can find emo/goth type of clothing. But, the clothes look awesome. I was also wearing lots of eyeliner and black nail polish. And my hair never looked better. It was still black, but now it had a few hot pink streaks in it. I think I looked awesome. I don't care what anyone else thinks of me. I will always stay like this, no matter what. I'll never change now and no one in this world can make me change back to what I used to be, and that's a fact!
