Jordan pulled out the scissors and looked in the mirror at her reflection. She couldn't believe she was about to do this. Jordan hadn't cut her hair since she let Chris cut it. But, she needed a change and this was only phase one of the new Jordan operation. She had told her best-friend Amelia to meet her at Hogsmeade so she could voice her opinion. Jordan didn't tell her anything about this meeting except to be prepared.
Taking a small piece of her hair, she straighted the piece, and cut it at her chin. She continued to do this until all of her hair was even. She then swept up the ends that had fallen on the floor. THrowing the hair away, she washed her hands and looked in the mirror at her new image. She smiled and opened her shoulderbag, pulling out a pair of jeans, a small Ramones tee, and red chucks. She quickly changed and then left the bathroom. She sat at an empty table, waiting for Amelia to show up.
Jordan had done many drastic things in her life, but this by far was the one that she liked the most. She loved change, as long as she was the one doing the changing. She liked to be in control of her life and not be told what to do. This was all her idea, no one told her to act different or to dress different. She did this because, she wanted to. She needed to change, she needed to be different in her life and by Jordan doing this....it definitly was different.

Amelia, who's hair was pulled up rather high in a strange hair-do, (look at Avatar) walked through Hogsmead with a new smile on her face. Jordan seemed to want to tell her something and Amelia had high hopes of the news being good. She looked around at the many stores and shops of Hogsmeade. She wore Muggle Clothes today. Her favorite Muggle Outfit. A sparkling blue long sleaved top and long jean skirt that went all the way down to the ground. She wore black boots that zipped up the side, though no one could see. She entered The Three Broomsticks and looked around for Jordan.
What she saw surprised her. It was Jordan, but she was different, she had chin length hair... Amelia blinked several times and walked over, hiding her smile. She reached Jordan and extended her hand.
"Hello, my name's Amelia... You look so much like my best friend Jordan Cortes, but you can't be because her hair is longer..." Amelia let her smile show. She laughed and sat down.
"Wow! You look great!"

Jordan looked up at Amelia with a huge smile. Amelia approved! This was good. She tilted her head and touched the ends of her now short hair. She liked it also, it was different and it showed indiviuality from her family. Jordan ordered two butterbeers and smiled at Amelia again.
"You really like it? I figured you know, it was time for a change. And i didn't think you would like me dying it. So, I just cut it. THough I plan on curling it sometimes." Jordan responded with a small smile and twinkle in her eyes. She sighed. Of all things that happened so far this was probably the best thing.
"I needed a clean slate, to starte anew and refresh my whole life and everything else. I'm redoing everything about my life. My room and Katie's old room. Now that she's gone. She moved back to her grandmothers in the states you know. I can do so much now. But, I miss her, I really do." Jordan added with a small shiver and a mist in her eye.

Amelia looked at Jordan surprised and hurt. Why would she need her approval? Amelia was insulted! This was teh best and yet worst thing to say! Amelia waited until Jordan was done talking before the lecure began.
"Jordan! How could you say that!? You know i love you, but why do you need my approval? I don't care what you look like! I only care that you aren't..." she looked down at Jordan's arm and sighed, "That you aren't... well ya know..." she shrugged, "you know what i mean. Anyway." She smiled and looked deep into Jordan's eyes, " You are you're own person and don't need my approval"
As she finished her lecure, she felt bad. Jordan just wanted to know if her friend liked the new her. Amelia sighed.
"But I do love it," she smiled again.
"Now... what about Katie?"

Jordan raised an eyebrow at her friend. She knew she didn't need approval, she would just like to know what Amelia thought of Jordan's hair cut and her style every once in awhile. That really didn't mean she needed approval. She knew Amelia would love her for who she was, but that didn't mean Jordan didn't care what she thought. She shrugged it off and shook her head as if it was no big deal and looked up at Amelia as she asked about Katie.
"Oh um. After this whole big traumatic experience, Katie Davenport has decided to live with her grandparents in the United States. So; I am stuck here, alone, having to deal with this aftermath of torture without someone who was there, and having to take anti-depressants and go to a pshychiatrist every ther Saturday. Without her. I don't mean to sound selfish, but she was being sort of selfish. What does she think I am? Made of steel?" Jordan asked, her anger growing steadily inside ofher. But, before it could emerge she took a deep breath and strummed her fingers on the table.
"No, that was way out of line for me to say. I apologize. I shouldn't have. These pills give me really large mood swings and I say things that I really don't mean. So not a word of that to anyone. I never said that." She told Amelia after a moment of thinking. Jordan sighed and laid her head on the table, her eyes closed lightly and a groan escaping her lips.

As Jordan talked about Katie, her eyes got softer and softer with pity. She felt so bad for Katie and for Jordan too. She felt her thoughts start to worry about how Katie was... what she was feeling all the way in America living with her grandparents... none of her friends way over here. She sighed and wished she didn't care so much about people. She looked up suddenly as Jordan commented about the anti-depresents and therapy. Her mouth dropped for a second, but Amelia shut fast. She gulped as new worry flooded over her. She felt her hand twitch, wanting to grab Jordan and hug her. But she refused to move... they were in public and Jordan was a very proud person. She took another deep breath and listened to Jordan go on. She started to get angry and Amelia sighed. She wished she could have the old Jordan back who didn't care about what people thought. But if she was happy now... it didn't matter. Amelia would love Jordan anyway she came. It was still Jordan!
"I understand," was all Amelia could say. She didn't have the experienced sort of understanding... but more like she understood where Jordan was coming from... feeling that Katie was being Selfish. Amelia sort of felt that Katie was wrong to just run away from the problems. But Amelia pushed that aside and sighed. It was hard to give any advice. She didn't know what to say. For once, Amelia Richardson was speachless for advice.

Jordan sat up again, wanting to get rid of all this nonsense that was going on her life at the moment. Her 100 watt smile appeared on her face and she ran her fingers through her hair. A sure sign she was about to ask Amelia about her "love" life. Seeing as Jordan hadn't been arround Liam and Amelia since, well, Christmas, she certainly didn't know if anything new happened. Jordan was naturally a curious person, she couldn't help it. It was something that just wouldn't go away! No matter what she tried or did!
"So, haven't spoken about you and Liam in awhile. What's up with that, eh?" Jordan asked her as she ordered two butterbeers with a raise of her index and middle finger. In a moment's notice two steaming mugs of butterbeer appeared in front of them and Jordan was drinking it while waiting for Amelia's answer. Jordan had things she wanted to tell Amelia as well, but she thought it rude to interuppt. So she sat there, waiting for Amelia to finish so she could spill past weeks events that were so normal that they scared even Jordan.

Amelia smiled and looked down at the mention of Liam. She felt her smile grow. Whenever she thought about him, she smiled. Whenever she talked about him she went on and on about how wonderful he is. She sighed and didn't want to do that this time but couldn't help but say it once.
"Liam is so great!" she laughed, "We are officially boyfriend/girlfriend now though. Atleast we were just before Christmas. I don't know if we told you that. Nothing new has happened with him though." she looked up at Jordan and smiled, wondering if she had found a boy yet.
"How about you and Dillion? I thought you liked him..."

Jordan smiled and took a drink of her butterbeer as Amelia asked about her and Dillion, butterbeer went everywhere! She was trying not to laugh, but she couldn't help the giggles that were escaping her lips. She like Dill?! NO! She was still laughing, hunched over the table, holding her stomach as the giggles continued to pour out. Dillion, and her?! NO! Dillion was nothing more than a best-friend.
"N-ah-No. Just friends. Very good friends, I suppose I did like him, once. Then it like, emptied itself and I jsut see him as an older brother..." Jordan answered with a shrug, while she tried to catch her breath. She laughed once more, and ordered another butterbeer. Wow, that was amusing.
