The Next day, Paige woke up with a smile upon her face. She sat at the edge of her bed, made a big yawned and stretched a bit. When she was finished, she got up from her bed, and hopped into the shower, to see if she can wash out more of the colored spray out of her hair. Yesterday, she was just experimenting with the hairstyle. She wasn't ready to actually go to school like that.
When Paige was done in the shower, she blew dried her hair, brushed it and let it loose. Then she went back into her room to get changed. She wore what she had tried on yesterday. She was excited, for once she was happy. She felt like a new person, she didn't care what people thought about her anymore.
Paige burst through the Degrassi Entrance door to beat the rain, The first thing she saw when she got into the huge main area of the school, was other students, staring at her. She just stared back, a grin forming upon her face; just too show that their stares didn't bother her. She began to head for her locker.
As soon as Paige made it to her locker, Hazel was already there. Waiting for Paige, too explain her appearance. She had already heard about it and was furious. Hazel usually supported Paige through everything. Hazel didn't support this, though.
Hazel formed a smirk on her face, but it was disappointing. Paige stopped for a second, and sighed as Hazel tapped her foot, impatiently. Paige sucked in her gut and walked toward Hazel.
"Paige," Hazel greeted, without any enthusiasm whatsoever.
"Hazel." Paige looked down at the ground at her feet then looked back up. "Why you so mad for?"
"Mad? Paige why would I be mad?" Hazel asked, she was clearly angry. Paige nodded, as if she was saying, "yes you are."
Hazel continued on, "Why are you trashing your good name for this stuff?" Hazel asked, tugging on the shoulder of Paige's shirt. Paige slapped her hand away.
"My good name? My reputation was nothing, but a bitchy Diva. I don't want that anymore!" Paige argued back.
"Paige, you have it good. You're captain of the spirit squad. You have tons of really great friends; you want to throw that all away? I'm disappointed."
"Really great friends? Great friends would support their friend's choices through anything. Clearly, you aren't supporting me right now, right?" Paige snapped back.
"Paige, I would support you in anything. But this outfit you're wearing is outrageous."
"I don't care." Paige replied, simply. She turned her glance.
The two girls stood in silence for a while, until it was interrupted by the sound of the bell. "Well, I have to get to class." Hazel said, walking away. Paige nodded, getting her stuff out of her locker.
As Hazel was walking to homeroom, Paige shouted. "By the way! I'm quitting the Spirit Squad!"
Hazel turned toward Paige and shrugged, then began to walk again. That was it. Paige's old reputation as Degrassi Diva was no more. And the new independent Paige was just starting.
