I straighten my hair this morning.  I know how my boyfriend likes it.  I’m ready, waiting outside to see my boyfriend’s car when it will turn on my street.  It doesn’t take long.

He greets me with a kiss when I enter into the car.  He drives while holding my hand.  The big smile can’t get off my face.

The short ride to school seems to take so long, but I don’t mind, I’m with him.

He parks his car and turns to me while putting off the keys from the car.

His eyes suddenly gets wide open.  My body hurts very much.

-Susan, your face!

 I’m afraid of what I could see, but, suddenly crazy, I look out the window to find my reflection in the rear-view mirror.

No, not my reflection, please, it’s the one of a stranger full of scars…

-Get out my car!

I don’t want anyone to see me, but I obey.  My hair falls by handful.

No, no, no, no, no…

-No!

I sit straight on my bed.

Even my subconscious is killing me.

I meet my eyes in the mirror.  Those eyes are lost, wide…

Dead.

Instinctively, I touch my bold hair.

I’m not dreaming anymore.
