The New "Me"

Walking into school that morning, I was both confident and nervous at the same time.
The old David was fading now that I got my cool new haircut, and of course, new clothes. I had on a pair of black jeans with my black oxfords. I paired it with the gray button down shirt I bought from Dark Wave the day before.

I walked in and everything seemed to become in slow motion. I felt like everyone stopped and was turning to look at me. Was this it? Acceptance? Popularity? Here at school? I was ready for it and it felt awesome. It felt awesome until...

"Hey Feltcher, nice hair you fag!" One of the jocks said.

"It's Fletcher." I corrected him.

"Whatever, ass munch." He said popping a spit ball toward me.

So as I was abruptly brought down to earth, I saw Jason and Rusty down at the end of the hall. I perked up and carried my way toward them.

"Whoa! Look at you." Jason said.

"You look like a fucking new waver." Rusty commented with a high five.

"This is good." I said.

"Well, until gym class." Jason laughed.

"Yeah, maybe I'll sit out." I said.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you." Rusty joked.

"No. I got to stand up for this. This is who I am and who I want to be now." I exclaimed.

"You serious about this?" Jason asked.

"I'm serious. This is the first time that my life seems right." I said.
