    You have very long hair, it reaches just a little past your waist. But, over the weekend you decided to cut the ends. Getting rid of dead ends and split ends helps make your hair look healthier and grow faster. You cut two inches off and that was that.

    It’s Monday morning and you’re back at school, you were so excited to have your friends guess what was different about you but no one got it right. Not a single one of your friends noticed your hair, not even your best friend. Granted it was just two inches but you still wished someone had noticed, it was a big thing for you.

    You went chemistry class just a little upset. You sighed as you took a seat at the table you usually sit at and set your backpack down on the floor. It was the very beginning of class so people were still coming in.

    You felt the presence of someone sitting next to you but you knew who it was, it was Simon. The quiet kid. You don’t know anything about him except his name, you guys aren’t friends or anything and don’t even talk to each other either despite sitting next to each other through the year… So how the hell does he know?

    “Your hair looks different. Did you cut it?” Simon asked as he sat down, this was the first time you’ve heard him speak, you almost thought he was mute. That wasn’t the shocking part, it was the fact he was the first, out of everyone, to notice you cut two small inches off.
