• I sat in my English class, eyes focused not on the teacher, but on the unobtrusive sheet of paper on my desk. It was a rough sketch but oddly detailed. It was a picture of me, passed from hand to hand across the classroom. I did not know who had drawn it but it was exquisite. I put the picture away and brushed my dark hair out of my eyes, refocusing on my teacher as she gave us our homework assignment. I quickly jotted it down and pulled out a clean sheet of drawing paper.

    The bell rang just as I pulled the paper out but I remained unconcerned, as this was the classroom I was in next period. I relaxed into my seat and began sketching a heart, large and winged. I had just finished the broad, undetailed portion when my best friend came and sat down next to me, my attention drawn to her startling appearance.

    She had changed out of the modest clothes worn to school that morning. While I'll admit she did look amazing, she was quite a dark bleak in the bright classroom.

    Her long black hair rested on her shoulders, bangs dashing across her dark eyes. Her skin, always pale, seemed even paler in comparison to the low-cut black dress she wore. She wore fingerless black gloves on her elegant hands. Her feet were clad in knee high black biker boots. She no longer looked like my best friend.

    "What did you do?" I exclaimed in surprise, her appearance alien to me.

    "I changed you dumba**. What did you think I did?" Her voice was cold and arrogant.

    "What did I do to you? I just asked a question." My voice sounded oddly hurt and I tried to hide it.

    "You didn't complement my new look." Her face was haughty and oddly scary.

    "Well I am very sorry for that." I was sardonic and her lips turned up in a sarcastic smile.

    "Ah well...I brought your dress by the way. Go change." She handed me a plastic shopping bag and I automatically headed to the bathroom.

    The dress she had brought for me was red and black. It was mid-thigh length and had a wide skirt. She had also brought me matching boots and red hairspray. I grinned and colored the tips of my hair quickly before rushing back to class.
