Looking Back

I looked into the mirror. Pressing buttons on the table, just to get myself to look at this year. I watched as the year flashed in front of me. I looked closer into the mirror, slowing it down at my highlights. I let out a sigh as I watched myself, I stopped the year for a moment, it faded away from the mirror. I took a good look at myself.

"So this is who I've turned into, isn't it?" I said looking at myself.

Who was this girl? The almost clear blue shirt, the ripped jeans, blue hair. So much skin showed, but who's?

I saw the innocent girl in the mirror, now I looked at what she had turned into. That was me, wasn't it? Who am I now?

I looked at the old me. Who had I turned into? Where did I go wrong?

"Agh! I said, plopping down on my bed.

I leaned back and thought of the year, I decided, I might as well use the gift I'd gotten from my friend for my birthday. A time travel pass.

I took it out of its box, carefully preserved. I walked out of the room and looked at my roommate, aka, my best friend.

"Sienna, I'm using it now, come on," I said as I walked off. "Oh, you can come too Gabi," I said to my twin.

They nodded and walked with me, out the door. I headed to the lab, I looked at both of them, making sure that they were okay with this.

We went in and soon, we were all in machines. We were going to be the trio going back in time, I had already explained to both Gabi and Sienna why I was doing this, to be honest, I was upset with myself, I wanted to know why this had happened, and I wasn't going to let myself change like this again.

I stared around me, I felt different, no wonder, it was January 2017 anyways, I had just come from December 2017. It felt strange, but whatever, I'd deal with it and live my life. I let my old self take control, I wanted to know what happened from a new perspective.

I stared at Sienna and Gabi, "So this is why we are here isn't it?"

"Well, no matter what you're thinking, I love you for you," Sienna replied.

"I don't want you to change, you are great the way you are," Gabi joined in.

I walked into my room again, to see my mirror. I looked back into it, pressing more buttons. I smiled and watched as the year went past again, this was a strange year review, but it was one I'd never forget, one I can always reflect on.

Niki, that's who I was, it didn't matter how much my looks changed, as long as I was still Niki. I  hope that I can say that each time I look back and review my year.
