ALEXIS
I woke early in the morning. The sky was always beautiful at this time, with the sun rising and creating a soft orange glows, and the birds chirping quietly. I opened the blinds wide, and stood for a second, letting the sunlight soak into my skin. It was these times that I cherished, these times that were full of complete peace and joy.
I grabbed my book from yesterday, settling down on the window seat. The sun shines on my skin, the noises of the birds filling the almost empty silence. It was five in the morning; the house was still asleep.
The book was the expressions of a brain still connected to the deepest emotions, and on those pages, the higher brain was infused with the guidance of the soul, of empathy, and the creative gift. It was humankind's intellect at its finest, showing how these logical abilities are only a blessing when they are combined with love. And so they may have only been paper pages, and only ink from a printing press, they hoped in a way I hadn't felt before. That's what a good writer can do... change the world by showing a beautiful perspective.
I looked at the clock and decided it was time to get ready for the day. Taking a warm bath, I relaxed and let my muscles go loose. It had been a while since I had had such a comforting moment alone like this. After way too long to be a normal bath, I dried my hair, pulling the strands into a messy bun. Slipping into a dark green Slytherin sweatshirt, I pulled on some skinny jeans and gave a slight smile. My clothes aesthetic was really great, in my own opinion.
I went over to my desk and put my stuff in a green backpack. It was the shade of evergreen moss, beautiful and everlasting. Flipping my phone open, I clicked on a new message.
Andy: Tell me if you meet any hot guys.
Me: I thought you had a boyfriend? (When are we meeting him btw?)
Max: Yeahhh!
Andy: stfu I told u he's not ready, and I haven't told him that max is not a guy so he thinks you're gonna steal me from him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Max: jealous bitch. Lmao, Idk why ppl think Max can't be a girl's name tho. I think it's hot
Me: <fanning-myself-gif>
Max: Very funny :stuck_out_tounge_winking_eye:
Me: ikr? (School today btw)
Me: and no I'm not going to try to flirt with hot guys. Not sure there will be anyone there who catches my attention.
Max: ur no fun.
Andy: ^^^ I second that statement.
Andy: new life, new you right?
Me: No.
Max: whatever I need my beauty sleep and you're hogging it, if I wake up looking like an 800-pound gorilla, it's on you.
Andy: You always look like that, what's new?
Max: :middle_finger:
Me: :eye_roll: you're guys no help. ily tho
Andy: good luck, love ya
Max: love you too qt.
My heart swelled with overwhelming emotions. I held my phone close to my heart and smiled looking at the wallpaper. Andy and Max. My best friends. My partners in crime. Chuckling to myself, I walked down the stairs and to the kitchen for breakfast.
"Ready for school today?" Luca asked Carina and me as I grabbed an apple from the fruit basket.
