I took my time getting ready for tonight. I was in a good mood, ready to hang out with Will. I washed my newly-cut hair and picked out the kind of clothes I thought Halli might wear for an evening out: clean jeans and a long-sleeved red T-shirt. I checked myself in the mirror. I really did look different.
I was feeling so good I thought maybe even Gemma wouldn’t bother me for once. Of course she ruined that idea right away.
“Audie, girl,” she said as soon as we walked in, “what did you do to your hair?” She laughed and winked and tossed her own hair. “It’s so— ”
“Thanks.” I didn’t wait to hear what it was “so.” Because I realized that as much as I hated Gemma before? Now seeing how she could be, as Sarah, made how she is so very worse.
Do you know that you’re actually fun? And nice
