Hey everyone! I'm so, so, so sorry that I haven't updated in what seems like forever! Please don't be mad at me! Okay so anyway, here's the next chapter… hope you like it!

Chapter 3: Time for a Change

McKenzie's P.O.V.

I woke up to an annoying beeping sound. I realized it was my alarm clock. I got up and turned it off. I took a hot shower, got dressed, ate breakfast, and walked to school. I went to my locker, got my books, and went to class. Let the torture begin…

7 HOURS LATER

Finally. School's over. I walked to the drugstore and bought black hair dye. I went to the store and bought some new clothes too. Thank God I didn't have any homework today. I walked home and went into the bathroom. I followed the directions on the back of the box and an hour later, my hair was black, just a little bit darker than Logan's. Gosh, I really have to stop thinking about the guys.

I went in my room and relaxed for a while until I decided to eat dinner. When I finished, it was around 7:00. I decided to put on the TV. I put on the news, which was almost over. I turned up the volume. What I saw was unbelievable. It was the guys. They were being interviewed. Carlos was talking. "Yeah. We do have a really special friend back in Minnesota. Her name is McKenzie Preston. We love her so much and she's like our little sister. She means so much to us. We have a friendship that's different than any other, in my opinion." Thinking aloud, I said, "Aww. That's so sweet." The interviewer continued, "So, Kendall, you're dating New Town High star Jo Taylor. Logan, you're dating Camille Roberts. How are your relationships working out boys?" My jaw dropped. Why hadn't I heard about either one of them? I shut off the TV and ran upstairs. I can't believe I'm doing this the second night in a row. I did the same thing as last night: cut, clean, put a band aid on. After I finished, I went to my room, alone with my thoughts. I just lay there, repeating the questions in my head. When I looked at the clock, it was pretty late, so I went to bed. I drifted off into a restless, dreamless sleep.

Sorry this chapter is really short. I'll try my best to get another one up ASAP. In the meantime, please review! It would mean a lot! xoxo
