Thursday of Dallon W.

Chapter 5

It was around 3:30am when Alicia woke up. At first she wondered why, then she realized. Shw went to sleep at like 6:30pm so it would only be logical if she woke up at this time. Alicia stirred a bit on her couch, but eventually realized that there was no way she was going back to sleep. She had work today, which was an excuse to wake up at 3:30am.

She got up from the couch and lazily walked to her room. Alicia rarely ever slept in her bed. She some how, always ended up sleeping on the couch. Her sleeping times were fucked up for sure. She went to sleep at 4am sometimes, at other, she's already be snoring at 7pm. It was always something different, but either way, she never got enough sleep.

There were bags under her eyes that showed her lack of sleep. Alicia's lack of eating, had also made her skinny. Alicia had never been perfectly skinny. She always had extra weight, but lately, Alicia had a very skinny stomach, and her legs too, were very unhealthy. Alicia wanted to be fit, not unhealthy and bone-y.

She was in front of her bathroom mirror, gazing at the lack of weight on her stomach. She frowned at it, she looked bad. She sighs, and then pulls her shirt down again. Alicia brushes her teeth and washes her face. Once she's out of the bathroom, she steps in front of her closet.

Alicia's closet has no other colors than, Black, white, grey and beige and some denim here and there. She's always been very plain. She takes out a pair of black jeans and a black sleeveless shirt, with huge openings for the arms. She takes out a pair of black boots. She's so in it for the black.

When Alicia was younger, you could've called her "emo" I guess. She still has much of her old clothes, like the black jeans, the band tees, and every inch on black make up. She never got into the "cutting, or suicidal stuff" but she was really into the music and style, it fascinated her. Once she got older, she thought it was time to let go.

She got dressed, and pulled her long brown her into a high pony tail. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, for once, in a long time, Alicia liked the way she looked. The black jeans looked great with the boots, and the black shirt hugged her hips perfectly. Her hair looked beautiful when it was up high. She grabbed her grey cardigan and walked out of her room.

Alicia walked over to her small kitchen and since today she had time, she could eat! She usually never had breakfast, sometimes she just made some coffee for herself at the cafe. She wasn't supposed to, but she did it anyways.

Alicia stood in front of her fridge, deciding what she was going to eat. She saw some frozen pancakes and decided to heat that up in the microwave and eat it. She grabbed a plate, placed her pancake and put in the microwave, preceding to give it some time to heat.

The little "ding!" Sounded from the microwave and she took her pancake out, it didn't look very appetizing, but I doubt she cared right now. She poured an obsessive amount of syrup on it and began to eat. She smiled at the taste that actually wasn't that bad. She finished it quickly and washed her mid dirty plate.

Alicia checked the time and it was still only 4:56. She sighed and sat on the couch. She could just turn the tv on and watch tv until it was 6 but she felt like doing something else. Alicia grabbed her grey cardigan, and her Keys. She stepped out and began to walk.

The cold breeze moved hair hair around. She took the long way to the cafe. Through out her walk, she saw the many beautiful trees with pink little flowers. Some fell on her head but she didn't noticed. She was a few feet away from the shop, she saw someone sitting at the outside tables.

It was her manager. She approached him. "Hey, why are you here so early?" She asked. "Well, I could ask the same to you" he says. "I asked first" she says with a grin on her face. he shakes his head and laughs lightly at her "okay, well I'm here because there was supposed to be some inspector of some sort to come check the place out, but he was supposed to be here 11 minutes ago" he said.

"Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that. You basically woke up super early for nothing" Alicia said back. "It doesn't matter, so anyways, why are you here so early?" Asked the manager. "I woke up early and I had nothing to do so I decided to come by early" she responded. "Oh, well since you're already here, could you please do Mariam's early schedule?" He asked.

Alicia obviously agreed, she walked in and took the laminated paper that read "Mariam 5:15am". She just had to wash some coffee mugs, clean the coffee machines, and make sure none of the bread had gone bad. Alicia always took her time so by the time she was finished, her 2 co-workers were already here.

Mariam thanked Alicia for doing her morning schedule and Alicia assured her that it was no problem.

Alicia is walking back to her house, today she had extra homework from the weekend. She sighs at the thought of it all. She walks past the pond and sees the ducks all swimming, like everyday. In a few minutes she's already in front of her building.

She walks past the guy in the lobby and begins her walk up the stairs. After what seems like forever, she's taking her keys out and opening her door. She walks in and sighs. Alicia leaves her keys on the kitchen counter top and leaves her shoes next to the door.

Her bag is still on the kitchen floor, she picks it up and walks into her living room. She takes out her phone from her pocket and plays Frnkiero andthe cellabration. One of her favorite artists. Which, she's actually going to see live in a few days. The thought of him live makes her smile, even thought she has tons of homework, Frank still makes her smile.

She also got meet and greet tickets which was 7 days after the concert, it meant not paying rent for at least 2 months, but she knew it was worth it. She took out her books about film, and her papers that asked about everything that ever had to with filming and recording.

She looked everywhere for a pencil but didn't find one damn pencil in the small apartment. This meant going out to buy pencils. Alicia groaned at the thought of it, but had to anyways. She grabbed her keys and out her shoes on. The walk to the nearest pharmacy was 14 blocks away.

Sometimes she wished she didnt love the environment so much. She decided to totally skip the stairs right now since she was gonna walk 14 blocks. She pressed the button to the lobby and waited for the elevator to do its job. The elevator doors opened and the guy in the lobby gave her a wired look.

"You took the elevator?" He says. "Yeah, super rare, I know but the I'm about to walk 14 blocks" she says. "Why don't you take a taxi?" He asks. "Cars are bad for the environment" she says. He rolls his eyes and says "we'll have fun walking those 14 blocks". She nods and walks out into the street. It was still light outside.

After 14 blocks, she arrived at the pharmacy, all for some stupid pencils. While she was there, she decided to buy some other needed stuff too. She walked through the isles and then found herself in front of the hair dye. She had never dyed her hair but it seemed like a fun change.

Alicia pondered about the colors, but then decided on a beautiful lilac (it had bleach, so it would be more simple for the color to catch on) Alicia loved her beautiful light brown hair, but the idea of lilac made her feel so jittery inside. She grabbed the box of hair dye and decided to buy it.
-

She had 1 hour left to finish all her homework and luckily she only had one more question to do. Alicia quickly answered "what was the name of the person who directed the first movie with a giant plot twist". She put everything away and smiled to herself, everything was done.

She set an alarm for her classes and decided to take a quick nap.
