finished Kelsey washed it out and then wrapping a towel around her hair. She had pulled on her pajama pants and an old flannel since the house was cool. After changing her clothing she had taken out her contacts replacing them with her glasses and pulling her hair up into a bun.
Ryder felt bad that he had told Kelsey he wouldn’t be home to share dinner with her. He had left his friend’s house early and gone home for the night so he could be with his sister and apologize. Knocking on his sister’s door and receiving no response, Ryder gave up. “Fine then!” He yelled. “I guess I’ll ignore you too!” Ryder yelled stomping down the hall.
What Ryder didn’t know was that Kelsey had been immersed in her music and was busy enjoying her closet restocking. After Kelsey finished putting away her bags she crawled into her bed, thoughts consuming her as she fell asleep.
Chapter 6
Kelsey woke up to the house being quiet. Their father had already headed off to work and Ryder had already made his way to school for early football practice. She felt totally alone. She pulled herself off her bed and made her way to the neatly folded pile of clothing. Kelsey made her way to the bathroom and showered. Once she was finished she pulled her hair into her regular messy lazy up do then not feeling eager to head to school she put on her glasses.
The outfit Hannah had insisted on was a skirt and tank top combo but Kelsey decided it wasn’t really what she wanted to wear. Kelsey knew her friend would be angry but she didn’t care at the moment. She pulled on a pair of her old faded jeans and a black tank top with the words “Cowgirl up!” in bright pink. Once Kelsey was finished she grabbed her black and pink flannel. She grabbed her bag, keys, and purse then headed out to the car.
Kelsey followed the directions her father had drawn out for her until she finally arrived at the school. It was a large brick building which seemed to have long hallways and multiple stories. Kelsey whimpered, at least she would have Hannah to get lost with. Kelsey had grown up in a school which only had a few hundred kids max. They were far from cities and she knew each and every student.
Here on the other hand, Kelsey wondered if she would even get to know half of them. The school was huge. She parked her truck and watched nervously as everyone within the parking lot began to stare in her direction.
“What’s there deal?” she mumbled to herself.
Kelsey pushed open the door of her truck which started the gossip. “Ewwe, who brought the trash?”
Kelsey turned her head to a skinny blond girl. The girls surrounding the blond began to giggle and Kelsey cocked her head slightly in curiosity. “H ello,” Kelsey smiled brightly. She was oblivious to this type of behavior so the comment didn’t bother her.
“And the trash driver talks!” The girls squealed turning around and rushing away.
Kelsey was confused. She looked back behind her not noticing any other person just her pickup. Most , well more like all of the vehicles parked around her were cars, many expensive sports cars; her brother’s red sports car among them. Kelsey’s black four by four Ford with its blacked out windows, and big knobby tires was a beautiful sight; the girls were obviously not talking about her.
Shrugging, Kelsey made her way to the school; she had planned on meeting Hannah by the office. It was the one place which Kelsey knew would be in the school for sure which made it a logical choice.
People looked at her with disgust and she couldn’t quite comprehend why. Once Kelsey reached the office she spotted Hannah. “Hannah” she called out as she approached.
“ Ghahh!” Hannah screeched. “I knew you wouldn’t listen to me. Do I really have to come and dress you every morning? I can’t believe you died your hair back to brown!”
Kelsey rolled her eyes. “Just thought this would be more comfortable and I like my hair this
