Good Girl Gone Bad Rebel

I'm not a good girl gone bad. I'm a good girl gone rebel. Rules are not made to be followed, or broken. Rules are made to be bended.

See, we have this rule at school that hair longer than shoulder length has to be tied up (stupid rule). We also have a no-makeup rule.

No-one 'breaks' these rules. Almost everyone 'bends' them. And who is the only person that gets told off? Me.

Immy C wears her hair down. So do a lot of people. Lots of people wear eyeliner. Some wear clear mascara, or lipgloss. Lots of people wear tinted moisturiser, like me, and that isn't even counted as makeup anyway - it's classified as suncream.

I really like wearing my hair down. If you tie it up, it falls out, you lose your lackies and clips and bobby pins, you can't put your hat on properly and I look really stupid with my hair up, anyway.

So, I 'crimped' my hair by putting in lots of braids overnight, then unravelling them in the morning.

Everyone knows that curled or crimped hair is shorter than straight hair, so my hair just touched my shoulders. Perfect.

I wore my hair down to school, and a little tinted and some sunscreen lipgloss. Not my fault the curls started to unravel during the day until they eventually hung halfway down my waist, like my straight hair normally does.

I got told off six times. SIX TIMES!!! Immy C doesn't even curl her hair when she wears it down, and she never gets told off.

Most kids say 'Why me?' when they think they are the only ones that get told off when in fact everyone does. I say 'Why me' because, I am, genuinely, the only person that gets told off. How can she turn a blind eye to everyone except me?

How unfair.

We went to indoor volleyball yesterday, and because I didn't feel like flaunting my underwear to all the boys, I wore bike shorts under my skirt. But, despite wearing the shorts, everyone thought that when my skirt flew up they were seeing my underwear, so wearing the shorts were useless - I might as well have worn a hot pink G-string for all the good the shorts did.

There were three girls that wore shorts under their skirts - I was one of them. For the volleyball, we changed out of our skirts so we could play just wearing our shorts, just like the boys could.

Oh, and apparently, wearing shorts so boys don't see our underwear is against the rules, so I got told off, but by some miraculous miracle, the other two girls got let off the hook.

Why me?
