     A/N: Okay, so you know how the last chapter is my longest chapter so far? Well, this one is going to be a heck of a lot longer! I didn't have any internet yesterday and couldn't get on here, so I wrote the second half of this chapter on paper and found out that it was about 1,700 words. Then when I got back on here and saw I'd already written 700 words, I kind of died inside. I'm going to have to write so much todaaaayyyyyy! Ugghhh! I'm gonna get started now, so here I go! (Help me)


   Doo doo-doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo doo-doo, doo doo-d-

     My eyes cracked open a bit as I turned my alarm off.

     "Second day of work. Ugghhh," I groaned as I rolled out of bed. I'd set my alarm for 5:30 so I'd have plenty of time to do my morning hygiene, change, and eat something. Ever since I was in high school, I'd followed a similar pattern. Of course, once I moved out and graduated college, I began to lack the motivation to get up some mornings. Work was usually in the afternoons, and Vanessa was so tired she would let me sleep.

     It never was a problem, though. I could never stay in bed past 9:30 anyway, and Paimon woke up at 7, so...

     I dragged myself into the bathroom, uniform in hand.

     Let's just get this over with. I'm hungry.

     Ten minutes later, as I was drying my hair, I gasped.

     "Paimon!"

     I ran into my room, and looked at my night stand.

    Whew.

     Paimon was alive and safe, and still sleeping. In a few hours, Paimon would be in the double digits! As I'd told Freddy the previous day, Paimon had never made it past 12 years. I wasn't a very responsible parent.

     I pulled my hair into a neat ponytail and looked in the mirror. Every day, I did my hair in a ponytail, and usually I was content with it. It kept my hair out of my face and it was easy to do, so it was always my go-to hair style. But looking at it, part of me felt like I should do something... more.

     Looking up something real quick on my phone, I found a style that looked really easy. It was called a topsy-tail ponytail, and it looked easy enough.

     (This is what a topsy-tail ponytail looks like)

     I tried to look in the mirror, but it didn't really work out, so I took a picture with my phone

     "Mmmm..." I hummed in disapproval, shaking my head. It was loose, and it looked weird. I tried tucking my hair into the ponytail, but it looked really bad.

     "Ugh!" I yelled in frustration, throwing down my hairbrush.

     I pulled out my hair tie, and redid my hair as a normal ponytail.
