Episod 6: Back to school

The 2 weeks I got off finished very quickly. Just the right time for me to change the way I looked. I went to the hairdresser, cut my hair and totally changed the colours of my hair. I decided to have a beautiful red colour. Besides, I changed all my clothes. Mom had the great idea to bring me to one of her client Martha who was a personnal coach and a specialist in physical image,a big fan of Mum's shop. She spend a lot of time in explaning to me what I could wear and what I could not. She explained to me the importance of the colours and the patterns of my clothes. She gave me a list of the adresses of the shops in which I could find the clothes that suited me the most. Then I did a lot of shopping with mom. That was great. She spent a lot of money but she kept repeating me that I was her unique daughter and that she would spent everything on me. I bought trendy tuniques, dresses, trousers and shoes. All size 48. Martha taught to put some light wake up with some kohl on my eye and some mascara, that is, according to her the secret of the woman beauty.

The day I went back to school, I dressed up with a colourful tunique, some black tights and high shoes. I put some kohl and mascara, brush my hair quickly. I was ready to go back to school.

When I entered on the main corridor of the school, every one started looking at me from my feet to my head. Even some people said to me hello whereas they never talked to me. The boys who where looking at me, were looking with different eyes as if I was beautiful. For the first time in my life, I felt pretty and sensual. I went to get my books from my locker and then when I closed the door, he was there. John was next to me. This time I did not feel shy, I looked at his eyes, he became shy.

-Hi Sarah, you are back!
-Yes indeed.
-I just wanted to apologize for having been stupid with you.
-It's all forgotten now, I said in ironic way.
-I was wondering if we can one day maybe have a drink or something.

I looked at him.
-I don't think so. I accept your apologies but I want to do nothing with you. I even do not work with you and I do not want to see your face. You better go have a drink with Jenny. See you later.

I left him. He stayed at his place without moving. I was walking with a big smile on my face. I was happy. I felt better with myself. Ready to carry on my life.
