my alarm goes off at 5 the next morning. though i'm exhausted, i learn my lesson from yesterday and refuse to hit snooze, jumping out of bed the second i wake up.
which is a stupid idea, because i have a massive head rush when i stand up. i grab my head, wait for my vision return, then start to get ready.
i look through my closet for something nice to wear. i might be on camera, so i want to look presentable (which is why i got up an hour early).
after a couple of minutes of trying to match an outfit, my work pays off. i choose a green tank top and blue jeans, paired with white high tops.
(basically this without the hat!!)

i then move on to hair and makeup. i do my makeup a little heavier than normal (because makeup on me tends to not show up on camera), adding in some concealer and blush with my usual mascara. i brush my hair, letting it remain in its natural wavy state.
i decide to eat breakfast before i brush my teeth. i speedwalk to the kitchen, check the time (5:35 am) and pop two pieces of bread into the toaster. i remove strawberry jam from the fridge, and also eat some blueberries while i wait. once the bread is done toasting, i spread some of the jam on both pieces, then quickly scarf it down.
when i'm finished brushing my teeth and using mouth wash, i have about 10 minutes until karl arrives. i'm about to start heading down to the apartment lobby, but then remember he wanted to "be a gentleman" and pick me up from my apartment. so i sit on my couch and wait for him to arrive.
i hear a knock on my apartment door at 6:00 sharp. i spring up, putting my phone in my pocket, and open the door.
and who else would be standing at my door at six in the morning than karl jacobs?
i'll admit, he looks good. he's wearing a black button up shirt, dark blue jeans, and black high tops. he glances at my outfit for a second before smiling at me.
"good morning," he says, ushering me out of my apartment.
"good morning," i reply as i walk out. he closes the door behind me, i lock it, and we go to the elevator.
"how'd you sleep last night?" he asks as the elevator door closes and starts moving.
"fine, how about yourself?"
"also fine."
"are you excited?"
karl looks at me with an amused look on his face.
"i should be asking you that. it's your first time filming a video, and i've been doing it for years." he pauses as he shifts his focus to in front of him. "but yes. i'm excited."
i give a warm smile.
"me too."
we leave and go to his car. but before i can enter, karl rushes to the passenger door and opens it for you. i raise my eyebrows at him as i watch his gesture.
