Fanny is quite bored to say the least.
She already read all the magazines that Saw would buy, from all sorts of catalogs, like hair, clothing, celeb drama, most things Fanny is not into. But you know what they say, Opposites attract!
But even so, without Saw by her side, things felt boring and time slowed down to truly shove it down fanny’s throat that she was all by herself
Fanny groggily stood up as she looked into the blank tv, which she hadn’t bothered to turn on since all there was was gossip shows that Saw would force her to watch, though she didn’t mind.
But it wasn’t the same with her there..
All of a sudden, like if Fanny’s prayers were answered, Saw came back! She had gone and left to redye her hair into a new style, ‘bleached’ she said. But as Saw stepped into the room, it felt like a giant elephant had entered too
This was because her hair… was completely dyed a hot pink.. A vibrant one to say the least.. Another thing that was pink was Saw’s cheeks, the poor girl was extremely embarrassed at the total fashion mess!
Saw simply shuffled past Fanny and entered her room, slamming it shut aggressively. This deeply worried Fanny, she immediately ran and knocked on the door (privacy is important kids!) In Fanny's mind ‘Saw would always see the positive in things, could I.. possibly convince her to..’
Yes! That’s it! She will simply try to make her feel better! The issue is.. How do you do that! Don’t get her wrong, expressing opportunism is cool but– who is she kidding she is literally FANNY for crying out loud!
But she will set those doubts aside, for Saw!
Saw now in bed under the covers while pressing her head against a pillow, mumbling things Fanny couldn’t hear, but she wasn’t going to let that slide
She immediately goes to sit right beside the sobbing girl next to her
“Saw.. You have to tell me what went wrong.. So I can…Help you…!” Fanny nudged the shoulders of Saw as she laid flat
“...”
“I asked for bleach.. They thought I said Pink…” Saw slowly lifted her head up as she spoke softly, because of this, Fanny didn’t hear what Saw had said
“But– You just said the same thing twice?”
Saw shoulders slump further down and she shoved her pillow closer to her face in extreme shame
“Bleach…Not Pink…”
“OH–”
A few minutes of silence fills the air as the misunderstanding just made the situation worse. Fanny truly, wasn’t good at this
In those minutes, Fanny thinks of all the things she likes about Saw. After all, a little mistake in hair color won’t stop her love for Saw. Saw will always be Saw in her eyes, she just needs to know that!
“It’s… Not.. THAT bad..You still look as pretty as you have always been, if not more.”
“Huh..?”
“I mean yeah, it’s not the shade you always got but pink IS your favorite color! What's a different color to change that? You always taught me to enjoy things, even if they suck or I hate them.”
“It’s nice to try things out even outside our own comfort zone, if not then how would we ever learn what we like?”
Saw slowly lifts herself up as she adjusts her blurry vision to the light and Fanny herself, to hear this from anyone in general is nice and all, but hearing this from Fanny, someone who stays in her own lane, someone who holds grudges for anything, her lover, it means alot!
More awkward moments of silence pass by as Fanny grabs Saw’s hand to look at her
“Why.. Why don’t we go back to the mall to get you something? The mall doesn't close until 8! My treat.”
“YAY!!!”
Saw immediately jumps off bed running out the door, excited, while leaving Fanny in utter shock at the sudden shift in mood, but it was better than seeing her all gloomy
“Wait for me! You know you can’t drive!!”
