"COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO”
I jump up from my bed and when it's too late I realize that I'm oh so graciously falling from my bed,pulling my blanket with me in the means to save myself.
With a loud enough thud my body makes contact with the hardwood flooring and my hair falls into my mouth. I love myself a nice mouthful of hair.
I groan and get up,throwing my blanket annoyed back onto my bed. It's when I walk to my window when I catch a glimpse of an electrocuted gorilla in my mirror. Oh wait,that's just me.
Ripping my curtains open to find the biggest surprise of my life.
I shriek as I get a jumpscare. I find an asshole of a rooster standing right outside of my window on the window sill. How did it even get here?
The rooster's eyes are made of granite. Sharp and definitely staring into my soul.
"Fucktard" I mumble under my breath closing my curtains again as I get uncomfortable as it is just staring back at me.
This is the life.
I have grown up on a ranch until my parents got bankrupt and we had to move to a tiny apartment in the middle of the city. Our apartment wasn't too far away from Chandler's ranch and I would go there every single day.
I climb back in bed and force myself to sleep again only to avoid Chandler. He probably doesn't want to see me either.
My door swings open. "Good morning Evangeline!!" My uncle Harry chirps,throwing his arms up in the air dramatically.
I groan and attempt to fake sleep. "I already saw you,hope your ready to work because there's always something to do on the ranch!" Uncle Harry shouts in a few decibels too high. An immense smile forms across his face.
No faking it now. I sit up in my bed throwing the duvet off of me. "Yes,okay Harry!" I sigh out loud. "What must I d-"
"Chandler is already leading the horses to the paddock. I want you to groom them and then go and sweep the barn." Harry interrupts me.
Chandler. It wasn't a dream.
"I told Chandler to show you around,I know you aren't familiar with the ranch" Harry states and leaves my room,closing the door behind him.
Oh Chandler. I silently cringe thinking about how I have to form a conversation with him after so many years.
I will probably say something embarassing and he will judge me for it and then I will think about that moment for the rest of my life.
I get out of bed and throw on a dusty pink tanktop and ripped shorts. I tighten my brown belt around my waist and with a struggle I manage to situate my foot into my dusty,musty cowboy boots that have definitly seen better days.
