hair and weaves

I was talking to ally morgan. she and a friend were going on a trip to south america and she invited me to join so i bought a ticket. I was at the store(the macy's in paseo but not) picking out things i needed. there was make up and really cheap beatles t-shirts. and i bought a box of tissues because i remembered taylor always had them. i went back and my mom was alseep. i was talking to ally about it and decided there was no way she'd let me go. i got a text from mom, saying its really funny because tonight you were at dinner. I sort of got that. I went inside to ask her sort of. she said no of course. I asked ally to return the ticket. this involved her getting like five bus passes. i wasn't really paying attention. i was going to drive the car and meet her down there. i asked if it was automatic. she said yes. and she'd have to teach me to parallel park. i said i knew how. i held my hand out for the keys. she went to talk to the guy at the bus stop. a student. said he didn't need the tickets. i was running down a hill with farley. we were having a lot of fun. he was following these dirctions. i was wearing one of ally's dad's suits and had gotten grass stains on it. we came to the edge of a grassy slope. he looked over as a boat zoomed by. I asked if we were going to jump on one. he said just get ready. he jumped. i thought of the suit but then i decided i was just following his lead. i jumped as well. he moved to save me as i realized how shallow it was then pulled in and rolled and fixed it myself. he was impressed. just then a boat zoomed by and farley awkwardly grabbed it and pulled himself on. He looked at me like, well you proved yourself as a good swimmer. so i sprinted after it. grabbed it and hauled myself on. i realized where we were going and started to talk. it was a monolouge. a performance for our entrance. i took a strawberry. i ws supposed to be doing all that. no one had heard as the boat dumped me in the back of a fancy reception. farley asked me what i hd been syaing. farley turned into an old woman. he asked me if we were going on a picnic. in the cars wih only two seats. at this point i remembered they were all leaving. all the people planning and in charge of the reception were standing. the donors were in seats. i was standing as the old woman beckoned me to her seat. i was her caretaker/ servant. she began to talk to me non stop. at that point i wondered wht i mattered to her other than some one to listen. i was at home. with mom. i had cut off my hair. i asked her why i would do that. she looked at me like "well thats your problem" my face was all red and i felt disgusting. i stood in front of the mirror with a new brush trying to make it look ok. i was throwing a temper tantrum. i told someone this must be a dream. they said wishful thinking. i discovered there was the remains of a nasty weave i never knew i had. i started to feel depressed. i pulled it out and my head felt lighter. not pretty. and there were scars and my forehead looked lopsided. but i realized i could live with it. i thought of alex and how he liked my hair. i decided he wouldn't like me anymore. i saw my eyes then thought of his. and i believe that is the end of that.
