Intro
It’s Monday morning, my first day of junior year, and I’m standing in front of my mirror dressed head to toe in a lavender outfit I bought last weekend. My mini skirt hugs my hips just right, the soft purple fabric paired with a crisp white belt that cinches my waist and makes the color pop. My lavender tank top matches perfectly, simple but fitted, and over my shoulders I’ve draped a sheer lavender wrap scattered with delicate white sheer flowers. When I move, the fabric shifts like a soft cloud around me, light and almost too pretty for the weight sitting in my chest. I slip on my white high tops I smooth my hands down the skirt and try to focus on school, on my demanding schedule, about the bonfire later tonight, trying to pretend everything is normal. But my mind keeps drifting back to Saturday night. The party. How it started off great but then i see the hot tub with all these girls and him- the shouting, arguing with Rio. My on-and-off, gangster senior boyfriend who ive been with since i was 14—now ex, again. Our sixth breakup. I haven’t answered a single one of his calls or messages since. My phone keeps lighting up with his name, and I keep ignoring it. i hear my father call from downstairs-I adjust my white belt one more time, fixing my hair, i lift my chin, and tell myself I won’t look for him. Even if I know I will. This time I mean it. Were done.
