I got to my hairdresser's shop in the evening. It was crowded as usual but the boss smiled in seeing me.

"Rachel, what's up?" She asked.

"I'm good" I replied settling on the chair she pulled out for me.

"So, the usual?" She asked as I looked at her through the mirror and smiled.

"Nope. Fringe" I replied as her eyes widened in surprise.

"Damn girl! You are gonna look really pretty in that" she said and I nodded.

"I know" I replied with a grin and she looked at me startled.

"Something about you is different" she said and I smiled at her coyly.

"Your birthday is in a week, be patient and do fringe then. Don't worry I won't charge you. There's this hairstyle you should try. You'll look stunning" she said as I smiled.

"Okay then" I said as I brought out my phone and freezed my WhatsApp.

I put on my data and started searching for news about violin. AMA was first on the results and I laughed heartily. I pursed my lips before going to play store. I downloaded Instagram and Twitter and quickly opened an account.

I bit my lip trying to think of a suitable username to use. Different usernames rushed into my head but none seemed suitable. My hands hovered on the keyboard before I typed  That_girl and saved it.

I looked for one of my photos and added a profile picture. I was smiling somewhere else and the picture was pretty. I did the same for twitter before I started following my favourite celebrities.

I easily found Joy, SK, Ife and Ini's account and I promptly followed them.

My hair dresser suddenly patted my hair and smiled "All done" she said as I looked into the mirror and gasped.

I was on short but straight bob that slightly covered my ears but didn't reach my neck. There was a small fringe to it. The lower part of the bob was tinted in a colour rainbow; yet it suited me..perfectly.

I looked different and well....... kinda dangerous and alluring. I raised my lips slightly as I stood up. Everyone else had their eyes on me.

"Can I take a picture please?" Someone asked and I nodded. She wasn't the only who took pictures but I didn't mind.

I stepped out to the balcony and took pictures. I walked out of the salon and allowed the driver to take me home. We arrived at home in less than 40 minutes and I carried my violin bag, my hair swaved lightly; showing off the rainbow colours.

"You are pweetyyyyyyyy...... " my mom screeched as she touched my hair.

"I'm making the same style" my mom said her eyes shinning as I laughed.

"Glad you changed your style" my dad said as I winked at him.

I ate my late dinner and hurried upstairs to read. Reading was easier for me now. I looked at the jotter on my table and smiled.

There was no need to write anything. Who ever I really was? I was going to find out in the next two days. I drummed in the table with my fingers as I read.

I watched animes into the midnight before falling asleep and I wasn't in the least bothered when I woke up around 7am. I groggily washed up and opened my wardrobe.

I scratched my neck unsightly as I smiled widely.

"Let's go for a change" I said as I wore my shortest skirt. It was just slightly over my knees though. I preferred to be courteous. I stopped wearing the skirt because I thought it would give people a bad impression of me but that moment ad I zipped up my skirt; I didn't care.

I slowly wore my jacket as I walked out of my room. I suddenly wondered how Ini would react when he saw me.
Only my dad was at the table when I got downstairs and I quickly greeted him.

"There was an emergency surgery, so your mom left early" my dad said explaining my mom's absence and I quickly nodded.

As she was the best in her hospital; she carried more responsibilities than the others. I quickly finished my breakfast and got into the car.

The school was busy as usual when I got there. I slowly walked through the hallways with a cynical smile. I hears gasps and people looking at me like..... well, let's leave that.

By the time I got to my class; the English Language teacher was already teaching.

"Good morning sir" I greeted as everyone turned to me and I was satisfied at their shocked gazes. I threw a wink at Joy before seating down.

"You are a Rachel?" My seatmate asked as I turned to her.

"Hello Gloria, let's be friends" I said as I turned to the teacher. I diligently took my notes ignoring the gazes boring into my head.

Soon it was time for break and Joy rushed towards me. SK ran after her and everyone was looking at me in surprise.

"Damn! Girl! I wished I didn't friend zone you yet" SK said and I laughed as Joy continued to stare at me.

"Stop looking at me like that" I said to Joy who was almost breathless.

"You look stunning" Joy said as I felt tears well up in my eyes.

It was the first compliment I received in a long while. Ife walked over and he simply stared at me while I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Ife, stop staring" Joy snorted and Ife sneered at her.

"I'm just amazed at the colour combo. Your hair dresser is a good one" Ife said as we walked towards the cafeteria.

Ini was already leaning on a pole outside the class waiting for us. My eyes shone as I took his look in. His jacket was unbuttoned leaving the crisp white shirt. The shirt clung unto his lean frame and I swallowed my saliva.

He was stunning and sexy as ever. He slowly lifted his eyes on me and I felt myself squirming under his gaze.

"Was the wait worth it?" I asked as we walked towards the cafeteria.

Ini's lips lifted slightly and he nodded "Your hair is pretty" Ini replied as we walked into the cafeteria.

My eyes watched as Josie, Gani, Temi and Kunmi walked past me to their usual seat waiting as usual.

I suddenly felt the urge to burst into laughter but I didn't laugh as I bought a satchet of cake and Nutri-Milk for myself. I raised my shoulders proudly and walked and Gani instantly blocked me.

"Where's our snacks?" Gani asked eyeing me as I turned to her.

"You have hands; get them yourself if you are hungry" I said as I walked past her towards where Joy was seated. I was scared I was going to be pained when I confronted them but I was surprisingly calm about the whole thing.

"You've changed" SK said as I sat down and I laughed.

"You don't like the new me?" I asker tearing apart my cake nylon.

SK rested his back on the bench and gave me a dazzling smile "Not at all sweetie, I'm in love with it" SK replied as I winked at him.
