CHAPTER 3.
Part 1

    “Hey.” a soft voice spoke by my ear. I turned and saw a girl, much shorter than the rest of the students, pink hair, and a shiny glint in her mouth when she spoke.
    “Hi,” I said, unsure of whether I should even bother talking to her.
    “I’m Kylie. You looked kind of lonely...” Kylie said quietly, biting her lower lip in shyness.
    “Oh. I’m... I’m Spencer. Nice to meet you.” I cracked a grin and shook her hand awkwardly.
    “I like your hair,” she said quickly, looking into my eyes with her own glassy green ones.
    “Oh, well, thanks! I like yours too,” I said cheerfully, fingering my dull brown, carelessly put-together french braid.
    “You don’t need to say that. I hate my hair.” shrugged Kylie.
    “Why? It’s cool, it’s... it’s pink! and super soft looking.” I grinned a little, but Kylie shook her head and leaned back against the wall.
    “This summer, a couple of stupid clique girls told me I was fat and ugly,” she began, eyes far out in thought. “ Which was true, of course. I was, and still am. But I’m happy with who I am and accept myself. But one day those mean witches cornered me at the beach, and took that permanent hair dye stuff and got it all over me.” She sighed, and turned to look at me. “My clothes and hair were stained. Still are, really. They know I hate pink,” she added with a scowl.
    I was speechless. “Th-those girls did that to you?” I couldn't imagine such a mean thing.
    “Yeah, every single one of them. And more. From god-knows-where.” she ran a small hand through her ruffled hair. “I guess it’ll do until I have enough money saved up to get it back to normal.”
    “What did it use to be?” I questioned inquiringly.
    “Oh, like a jet-black. And I had a nice purple streak.” She cracked a foolish grin, showing crooked teeth and a peek of a tongue-ring.
    “Well, it’s nice to meet you Kylie.” I said gratefully. “See you around!”
    She stared at me in shock, as if i had offered her an iPad or something. I giggled a little, I couldn’t help myself. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad here after all.
