"Blue."
Yes that's me
"Blue, wake up."
Nope, changed my mind, not me
"Blue Winters! Wake up right now!!"
Groggily opening my eyes, I saw my mom standing at the door, hands on the hips, giving me her known do-not-mess-with-me stare. Even after seventeen years of knowing her, I am still not immune to that look. Maybe one day.
"I am up see", I yawned, while moving my thumb and blinking the eyes rapidly, hoping to convince her of my awaken soul. She on the other hand is not at all dazzled by my Oscar worthy acting. Maybe she's smarter than I thought.
A what-have-I-created sigh escape through her. I can tell by her frown that she's having second thoughts not using condoms. Drunk decisions always produce tipsy situations.
"No, you're not up, more like a brainless starfish and for god's sake stop with that thumb" she said while commanding, "Get up!!".
In life, there will be times when people will not appreciate your talents and that's ok. Be a bigger person. So, I stopped flickering and got up, doing what she asked for. Or you're just scared she'll beat your ass. Nah, I've prevented this moment from becoming a permanent scar in our relationship. Your brain tissues are rotten girl.
Getting up, I lifted both the hands in surrender gesture, "I am up captain, be the morning good to you" I said, in a fake robotic voice.
"Good morning" she said, and very faint smile threatened to escape her but she was committed to her strict parent role. Are you sure it's not a frown? Yes pretty much. "Well, we are leaving at 7:30, so hurry up."
Sounds easy. What's the time... where's the watch? Found it.. Lemme see, right now it's 7:05 am -- wait What!! You gotta be kidding me!
"Half an hour! Please tell me you're joking. I can't even poop in that time!"
"Well do you prefer walking all the way to the town then? Besides we're already late by an hour"
Can't believe she's the woman who gave birth to me. Attacking my weakness who does it?
"Fine! I'll be ready" I said grumbling before adding on quickly, "I'm not pooping though and my deteriorating health is on your consciousness."
"I think I'll survive, now hurry up" she said and started walking away, completely ignoring my genuine concern.
Taking a deep look at the clock, I noticed it's 7:12am. One word. Fuck.
I sprinted towards the bathroom like a cheetah. One who's a bit slow but still fast. Upon reaching there I looked at the mirror and immediately cringed at the reflection. With blond hairs shaped like an abandoned nest, pale skin, freckles at some places, partially dried drool at the corner of the mouth and chapped thin lips, the girl in front of me seems to have survived an apocalypse.
The only unique feature about me were my eyes. Sky blue with a light shade of green, these eyes gives my insecurities a bit relief. Also, they're the real reason behind my name. Quickly grabbing my toothbrush, I started to pray poop god for a miracle but like usual nothing happened.
