Chapter 52

• Melissa
• I hardly recognized myself in the mirror this morning. The bleach worked its magic, and the dye took well on top, and there I was, a new blonde version of me. I’ve never been blonde before. It looks strange, alien. Not that you’d ever know the difference between a hairnet and a stupid cap.
• Dean helped me cut my hair shorter, armed with nothing but a pair of general-purpose scissors my mum used to use to open stubborn food packets. My new long bob looks pretty good for a home-done effort. A few random snips to vary the length and the look is a little Debbie-Harryesque. Even Dean agreed.
