Well, I was right. So why was it such a shock to see him in my homeroom? I guess I was thinking of other things. I mean, hey, it was the first day of school. Lance Donovan was the last thing on my mind. For once. What I was thinking about was my new look. Call me shallow, but changing my look had been a big step for me. Now that I was actually walking through the doors of Cherry Glen High, I was a teensy bit nervous. It's my clothes that are new, not me. I still have long, black hair, way-too-pale skin, and violet eyes. But on the inside, I had changed a lot over the summer—and the new Zara just couldn't wear the old Zara's clothes. The old Zara was all about camouflage. Blending into the wallpaper. Flying below the radar. It's hard to blend into the wallpaper when you have a sort of built-in, natural, spooky look. So my clothes have always been boring. On purpose. Like, don’t look at me.
