I stretched out my arms and legs. Oh God that feels good. Then I quickly got up and ruffled my short black hair and by short I mean like "boy cut" short. But that's fine with me, less worries about my looks.
I looked at the mirror and scanned my whole body.
Slim, not thin, and just fine. That's me. The just fine girl. And sometimes awkward.
I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts and quickly brushed my teeth and lazily put on my clothes which are black pants, a white v-neck blouse and grey vans. Yup gloomy coluors.
I quickly went down to grab some breakfast which is composed of cereal and milk.
I got a box of cereal and poured some into the bowl. I opened the fridge to get some when I noticed that I'm running low on supplies. Looks like I need to call grandma soon.
I was chowing down on my food when suddenly I heard the front door slam.
I almost spewed milk on the table and ran to look who is it. Well, there's no one there so I nervously went back to the kitchen to eat.
I was thinking what have caused the door to open and slam, when it happened again.
I grabbed a kitchen knife and slowly made my way to living room and thought to myself how foolish it was of me to go there the first time unarmed.
I heard shuffling and a cheery voice sang "Honey!!! I'm home!!!"
I released the breath I didn't know I was holding and instantly knew who it was.
"Nick! What the hell. You scared the crap out of me.", I said while setting the knife down.
"Hey Mona.", Nick beamed. "How's my favorite friend doing?"
"I was eating breakfast. Don't ever scare me again please. It was bad enough I'm living alone and you just had to slam the door twice just to scare me.", I scolded Nick.
Nick looked confused. "Twice? I just slammed your door once so you'll know I'm here."
I studied him and I think he's telling the truth but I decided to shrug it off.
"Come on to the kitchen and have some breakfast", I turned around while saying so.
"Ooh I'm starving. Let me guess. Cereal huh?", he said while following me.
I just smiled at my best friend and shook my head.
