When we were within twenty feet of the school and the silence was starting to become unbearable, a plain black skateboarded skidded in front of me and Ray.

I looked up and the skateboarder took of his helmet to reveal light-brown shoulder length hair.

"Mason has arrived!" he said.

"Nice to see you too buddy." Ray said.

"Oh my, oh my gosh!" Mason exclaimed looking at me in surprise.

"You cut your hair!"

I shrugged and said, "Yeah. So?"

"So?? Cutting your hair like- I don't know- big life changing stuff!"

He continued, "And if I were to cut more than two inches like you have, I would tell you guys."

I decided not to tell Mason that I haven't told my parents because knowing the goody-two-shoes that he is, he'd freak even more and immediately text my mom and dad. Ah Mason, that dork. I miss him.

"So anyway," I started trying to change the subject, "How was your guys' beach vacations?"
