My Mystic Green Hair

THE LEGEND THAT LIVED WITHOUT KNOWING

? 14 years later ?

It was a bright sunny monday morning and every one on Emerald street was getting ready for the days bussiness ( children were getting ready for school, parents for work and so on )

Emerald street was beautiful and casual and organized (a little too organized for Xena's liking)

every one on emerald street were like one big family except for house no. sixteen, this house was home to mrs Lawrence, a very social woman who used to talk a little too much, she love social gatherings and all, she loved parties and pretty much any thing that brings her out of her house

until one day--about fourteen years ago after a dark stormy night-- she just changed all of a sudden, she ended her social life, kept away from every one, the windows and doors of her house were always locked, kinda like she was hiding something

But little did any one know that it was all because she didn't want any one to know about Xena the green haired girl.

Xena's POV

mrs Lawrence grasped in shock as she entered my room and met the window opened, she rushed over, closed the window then sighed with her hand over her chest

"Xena, Xena wake up we have something important to discuse" she said tapping me, the young green haired girl (wearing a brown wig ) who was pretending to be asleep.

I sat up in my bed, yawned and streched my hands in the air pretending to just wake up

"good morning mum" i said, rubbing my eyes

"Xena what have i told you about opening the window" mrs Lawrence asked angrily ignoring my greeting

“i'm sorry mum" i muttered innocently “i was looking at the stars last night, i guess i fell asleep " i loved star gazing and every thing about outer space, it made me feel like i was out of this world .

“Xena you know you must never open the window" mrs Lawrence queired “we can't risk having any one fnd out

“i know, i know " i said sadly “i just really wish i could go to regular school, and have friends i wish i was ......well you know....... normal"

"hey don't talk like that, you are the way you are and there is nothing that can change that" replied mrs Lawrence, it was what she always said when ever i complained, some times i wish she would tell me i was special, but she never did.

“.....and i've decided..... you can go to regular school"

“really really mum, for real" i asked in excitement, i've always wanted to stop home school

“But you have to be extreamly carefull, NO ONE can find out, NO ONE at all " mrs Lawrence warned .

“i promise no one will find out " i jumed out of bed in excitement

Xena that's me a curious fourteen year old with mysterious green hair that i was made to hide under a brown wig by mrs Lawrence

i was never allowed to take of my wig even in my room with the doors and windows locked -- it was really annoying, i have never stepped out of my house, i've spent all fourteen years of my life not knowing what it felt like on a side walk, that was the main reason i loved outer space -- it made me feel like i was out of my room floating in the universe .

i've always been home schooled by my mum, mrs Lawrence--i knew she wasen't my real mum but i liked to call her that.

i was really excited about getting to go to school -- i was finally going to meet other kids, i've never met any one else in my life ( except mrs Lawrence and her son - Brandon, who was just a year older than i am -- that was how over protective she was

i stepped into by bath room to take a bath but first i'd some thing i loved most in the world -- washing my real hair, the green one, it may sound weird ( which it was) but i loved my hair so much, it was thick, rich, full, soft, and very slik, not like any other normal hair, it was also green, the most beautiful shade of green i've ever seen -- and belive me i've seen all the shades of green there is.

i finshed washing my hair and took a bath, sat in front of my mirror and was drying my hair with a blow dryer

“OH GOD GRACIOUS Xena what are you doing " mrs Lawrence asked in shock as she entered my room and met met sitted with my hair opened i knew i was in trouble, she've warned me never to sit without my wig on -- can you imagine she asked me to dry my hair in the bath room

“what were you thinking, leaving your hair opened like this" she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my head

“i was only drying my hair, it was only gonna take a muinte and all my windows are locked" i said in a sweet innocent voice “ i'm sorry i disobeyed you, i just don't get why it's such a big deal, why i always have to hide my hair "

“i guess i was wrong, i can't let you go out to school " she said to herself ignoring my question, she always avoided answering questions about my hair, but i knew my hair had to be a great deal, why else would she be so protective about it, i knew there was something really important about my hair “Xena i change my mind i can't let you go to school, you can't keep this secret well enough, we'll countinue home school "

“what" was the only thing i managed to say

"come on mum, you've got to let Xena come to school with me" it was Brandon he was leaning on my room door with his hands in his pockets being cool and all “ i've waited so long to finally get to show her around, and i promise i'll keep an eye on her"
