Walked Home
As Ava left the classroom and walked home, the breeze brushed against her neck where her long hair used to be. She felt anxious, unsure of how her dad would react to her new look. He had always admired her hair, telling her it was beautiful just the way it was.
Touching her short hair repeatedly, Ava tried to get used to the unfamiliar feeling. A knot formed in her stomach as she worried about his reaction. Her dad often called her Rapunzel because of her long locks, but now, most of her hair was gone. She hoped he wouldn’t be too upset.
