Lipstick? Check.
Mascara? Check.
Eyeliner? Check.
I began taking all my cosmetics out. Daniel would be here to pick me up in half an hour and I had this routine down. Go to school. Get ready. Go out. Have fun. Come home late. Then go to school etc. It was a daily thing I did now. For about a year I immersed myself in parites, boys, and other frivolous activities. It was the only way I could cope. Yet I know it wasn't coping at all.
Checking myself in the mirror, I sighed. An image of kohl rimmed eyes, lush and long lashes and a ruby-red heart mouth stared back at me. There was a time in my life when makeup didn't matter. And when I could care less of my outer beauty. There was a time in my life when a boy loved me. And not the manufactured image of me. But that time is gone. It came and went too fast.
I pulled myself out of my reverie and put on my coat. Daniel would be here soon. I had a party to go to.
