Her World

Chapter Twenty-Three

Chapter 23

I woke up groggily, the sun light pierced through my room. I brought my hands up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, letting out a big yawn. I looked to my alarm clock to see that I had woken only 10 minutes before my alarm should have gone off so it was 5:50am. Why did Jake have to take me somewhere so early in the morning?!

I removed myself from my bed, letting my bare feet hit the frozen floor.

“Note to self: Get a rug for the side of my bed.” I moaned to myself. I dazedly walked over to my drawer grabbing a plain black t-shirt and some from my wardrobe jeans then making my way to the bathroom.

I’ve had a shower last night so there was no point in having one now and to be honest I really couldn’t be bothered. I filled the basin up with warm water before splashing it over my face; the sudden contact woke me up that for sure. I looked at myself in the mirror; water droplets ran down my face and dangled on my chin before crashing down on the basin. I had dark rings around my eyes from the lack of sleep.

Everything came back to me, Noah. Who was he on the phone to last night? And who is this famous Felicity? One way or another I was going to find out. I brushed my teeth quickly and then stomped into my room.

I threw the clothes I had picked out onto the bed and marched back over to my wardrobe to find something else. This was the first day of brand new Marie, so I need to start dressing like her. My fingers trailed across the different fabrics before landing on some black skinny jeans. I pulled them out and flung them on the bed next to my other clothes.

Right next to find a top. I repeated the same action, but I already knew what I was going for. I didn’t care if it was no longer in fashion; I was wearing it to make a point. I spotted it jammed amongst the clothes that had been written off by Karla. I pulled it out and also throwing it over on the bed.

Excitement started to bring up in my body, I was really going to do this and I was going to do it with bang. I hurriedly put my underwear on nearly toppling over in the process; I was jumping up and down on the spot trying to get my other leg into my pants.

Finally when my legs were both in, I pulled them up and hurriedly slid my jeans up my leg. I had to bounce up and down trying to get all the tight material onto my legs. One I had pulled them right up nearly cutting myself in half as my mom would say, I started doing to jean dance. You know the one where you squat up and down to loosen up your jeans.

I chuckled to myself; I must look like a right idiot. I pulled my top over the head and swiftly headed over to my mirror. Oh I really have missed this top. The black jeans made my blue ‘I heart New York’ top stand out. I was surprised that it actually still fit me.

I picked up the brush and started to tug out the knots that made been created in my sleep. I pulled and tugged at my head. Seriously did I get into a wrestling match in my sleep last night?  I let out a sigh of relief as the last knot was untangled and the burning stopped on my scalp from the pressure. I ran my fingers through brown wavy locks and actually falling in love with the way flowed down my shoulders.

I then started on my make up; I just kept it the same as it was before, light foundation with some eyeliner and mascara. Once happy, I grabbed some stocks slipped them on along with my converse and gave myself a glance over. A smile appeared on my face for the first time in a while, I was actually really happy with how I looked. I looked like me again.

With a gigantic grin on my face, I grabbed my bag and phone and headed downstairs. No-one was up yet seeing as it was only 7:00am. I made my way into the kitchen to pour myself a drink; I pulled out a mug from the cupboard and filled it with water. Okay this might sound weird but I have this weird thing about drinking out of glasses, I don’t know why but I can only drink out of them when I’m out somewhere but I do avoid it if I can.
