A/N: The girl above
is what Stephanie looked like.
No POV:

Stephanie and her mother were at the local grocery store in Belvidere, Illinois. Her mother was looking at beauty products such as make up and nail polish. Occasionally, she would say things like this would look good on you or do you like this? Stephanie had no interest in this, but responded with simple answers. She never liked so-called girly things like wearing dresses, wearing make up, and shaving. Still, she did these things to please her mother and avoid questions from people in their small town.

"Can I get a haircut today?" Stephanie suddenly asked.

"To cut of the dead ends? Yeah, we'll go after we're done shopping."

"No, I want to cut it short. To about here." Stephanie said and pointed to the middle of her ear. Her mother had a questioning look.

"I thought you wanted me to do your hair for the dance tomorrow?" as she said this, Stephanie gave her puppy dog eyes. "Okay, use the store phone to ask your father at home."

Stephanie ran to ask an employee to use the store phone. She found a tall, skinny, brunette and out of breath, begged him to use the phone. He stuttered out a yes and pointed to the phone. She thanked him and fast walked away from the confused boy.

"Hello, Dad, it's Stephanie. Mom said to ask you if I could cut my hair short." she rushed out putting emphasis on short.

"Why would you want to cut off you long, beautiful, curly locks?"

"Please, Dad. I really want to."

"Okay. Whatever makes you happy."

"Thanks, Dad. I got to go find mom now. Bye, love you." Stephanie said as she hung up the phone.

She ran to her mom and found her in the same spot. Once her mother saw the smile on Stephanie's face, she knew her husband said yes. Quickly, they finished shopping and left. After ten minutes, they arrived at the hair salon. Stephanie went in and told them what she wanted while her mom waited outside. When Stephanie came out, she looked like a different person.

They went home and ate dinner like they always did. When they were done eating, the parents cleaned up and Stephanie went to her room. She looked at the dress she was going to wear to the dance and decided to pick something else. After looking through her clothes, she chose to wear a long sleeve baby blue button up with black skinny jeans. She folded them and went to put them on the neat dresser. As she put them on the dresser, her mom came in.

"I though you were wearing the blue and black striped dress."

"I changed my mind. I'd rather be comfortable and able to move around incase my friends want to do something that requires physical activity."

"Oh, well...um don't stay up too late. Good night." her mother said somewhat confused.

"Okay, I won't. Night." Stephanie said as her mom left and closed the door.

She went to bed about an hour later. She woke up and looked at the clock across the room. 7:23. She rolled out of her full sized bed and went to brush her hair, being shocked when she saw the shortness. She ate some cereal and a banana, brushed her teeth, and went back to her room. All of that apparently took an hour because it was 8:31. She tried to clean and organize her room, but she kept it neat and tidy at all times, so that didn't keep her busy for long.

Not much happened that day. The family relaxed and did some chores like dishes and laundry. Dinner was eaten earlier since the dance started at 5:30 and went to 9:00. Once Stephanie was done eating, she ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
