I turn over in my bed trying to avoid the light that was hitting my face, but this does absolutely nothing. I continue to move until I eventually toss my blue and white blanket off of me.
It was a Saturday and I wanted to sleep in but the sun disagreed with my plans.
I roll out of my warm bed and head to the kitchen. I wasn't hungry but my mouth was dry so I grab a water and walk over to my couch.
I take a sip of my water before turning on the tv.
The first show to come on is The Amazing World of Gum-ball. Let's be honest here it's a great show so I don't change the channel. It was entertaining and I was barely awake so I don't think I would have really changed the channel no matter what came on.
When I'm finally more awake I go to my room and begin to get ready for the day. I had a couple errands to run today and I wanted to get them done.
I sift through my closet and settle on a pair of black ripped jeans, a red ribbed tee and black and grey coat. I then brush my faded pink hair and put it in a braid before brushing my teeth. When I finish that I grab my phone, purse and keys heading towards my apartment door.
I walk out and to the parking garage where my tangerine colored car was. I unlock it and hop in before taking off towards a nearby gas station.

When I get there I get out and begin to fill my car with the strong smelling substance. It takes a few minutes for it to be full but eventually it clicks and I put the pump back. This is an old gas station so I have to go in to pay, which I don't mind.
I walk in and a bell rings alerting the cashier at the counter. I walk around the store first before going to pay because I wanted to get a coffee. I wonder for a bit but eventually find the coffee section. I grab a vanilla one and walk over to pay but the sight of blond hair stops me. the world that was always going so fast for me begins to slow down and I'm in captivated by them.
I didn't see anyone else in the store till now and for some reason they caught my eye.
I try to catch a view of their face and I do but in the worst way. They turn around because I assume they got that "someone is watching me" feeling and catch me staring at them.
I quickly dart my eyes towards the speckled floor and go to pay for my things now embarrassed but I can feel the heat of their eyes on me.
I set my coffee on the counter and tell them that I have gas on pump 3.
"$40.55" the bored cashier announces and I quickly hand over my cash wanting to get out of there.
As I go to leave I see the blond haired boy looking at me with smile. For the second time we make eye contact. He is average height with soft facial features.
I once again look away from his bright hazel eyes and dash out the door.
I hop into my car and immediately take a breath. He was incredibly pretty and I was a complete disaster in front of him. I sigh and sit in my car for a little while longer not wanting to leave, but eventually I turn my key and turn out of the small parking spot...
An: so this story is just for fun so it's probably not going to be very consistent in terms of updates. Also this is a really sloppy first chapter I feel like so sorry:(
