Premise: The Main Character Ignored the Warning Label

The Commission’s shelter-in-place order was finally taking its toll on all of us. The four of us were best friends and figured it would be fun to spend the time together. We never expected it to go on this long, but it was obvious why. While there were many of us that respect the shelter-in-place order others did not. They were the reason it had been prolonged. Serenity had taken to meditating on her bamboo stool twice a day at the hours of 6am and 4pm. I was determined to beat this open-world video game called Vast. Franklin was determined to trump Francisco’s sophisticated logic puzzle that his mom sent him. Francisco’s bombastic ego was doing little to enhance his hobby of being a comedian.

I had finally gotten to the point where I could no longer look at myself in the mirror. I needed to change up my appearance and I figured dying my hair at home would be an easy change to make while we waited to rejoin society. I had talked Franklin into helping me bleach my almost black hair blonde. Since I knew this could take more than one time to get it the shade, I wanted I figured, why not. Well, I guess I should have read the instructions on box better because my hair is officially gross. The blonde is patchy all over and I feel like my hair now resembles a giraffe. I had instant regret and knew the process to fix this would be longer and costly. Here is to never bleaching my hair without carefully reading that brand specific instructions. Now all bleaches are equal.
