It was Friday. I woke up to the sound of my alarm, groaning because I wanted to take a break from the rest of the world for a while. I still got out of my bed, made myself a coffee and a croissant with ham, cheese and spinach.
I was currently in a shower. I let out a deep breath as warm water droplets started dripping down my body. My muscles relaxed immediately and all the tension drifted away. I grabbed my coffee body scrub and a peppermint shower soufflé. At first I deeply, but gently cleansed my skin with the scrub. I immediately felt like my skin was rejuvenated. Later the airy and extremely creamy foam, which felt like a marshmallow, left my skin looking irresistible. My bathroom now smelled heavenly.
I had to meet with Madelyn in two hours. I didn't know any of her castmates, nor the show they were planning to film. She wasn't supposed to tell me any details of her projects and I respected that.
My mother always taught me that I need to respect other people's privacy. I knew very well that she was right. I wouldn't dare to ask Madelyn about her job if I knew she wasn't supposed to tell anyone. Sometimes Maddie, however, tended to spill different details by accident. She would always cover her mouth with her hand and laugh about her clumsiness.
I really want to make a good impression on everyone. What if they don't like me? I mean I haven't had friends in a while so maybe I forgot how to communicate with new people. Maddie was different though. She was easy to talk to. She also told me her friends would love me.
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my hair and body. I looked up at my foggy reflection in the mirror. I smiled. I was so proud of myself. In the last 8 years, I never thought I would finally feel okay. That's when I realized I won't let myself have doubts about whether they will or won't like me. It's totally okay if they don't want my company. I'm used to being alone anyways.
I'm always passionate about dressing up and looking stunning. I loved to look put together even when my world was falling apart. That way no one ever would think that maybe somewhere inside of my soul there was utter terror. Complete fear that I'll end up being alone when I'm always trying to bring someone the love and joy that no one gave me.
As I was saying, I never looked like a tomboy because I thought that looking girly always brought me good things. Boys always noticed me but I never cared about that. I just enjoyed being in a dress or a skirt. I absolutely love sporty girls but I never thought that it was my type of style.
I went to my wardrobe and looked at my dresses. I don't want to overdress, but on the other hand, I don't want to underdress either.
I saw a long red skirt and thought it would look lovely with a plain black crop top and gold jewelry. I fancy wearing jewelry because it's always like a cherry on top. It gives everything a more elegant look.
