Chapter 226: A Whole New Look, Part 2

I walked into school Monday morning, eager to show off my new hair to Trent, but he wasn't at his locker - I was convinced he forgot he had one. I had no idea if he was back from wherever he'd gone, but I hoped he was. Taking off like that wasn't Trent's thing; it was more Jax's style.

"Chloe! Your hair," Tonya said when she saw me.

Gina and Luke stood behind her, grinning.

I smiled. "Like it?"

"It's a little. . . drastic," she said, "but yeah. The color is great."

"Thanks." I wasn't sure I agreed with her that it was drastic; all I'd done was go from a dirty blonde ombre to a solid, darker brown, but if she was that shocked, Trent probably would be, too. And I had to admit, I was thrilled at the idea of being the one to catch him off guard this time.
