She walks inside the campus, her hair in a tight bun, her uniform neatly pressed. She smiles as she passes by the security guard by the gate who gives a smile in return. She keeps walking until she is far enough and takes off the hair tie that held her hair in place. Her pastel pink hair cascades down her back. She smiles as people whisper their own different thoughts about it. People always have their own opinions on colored hair. Some love it and admire the bravery of people who do dye their hair. Others feel like it is a taboo going as far as making fun of people who do color their hair and tagging them as rebels. To Jascel Espinosa and Brendan Apuan, it was a form of self-expression and gaining more confidence in themselves.
