LEA

I can feel the skin on my face getting warmer as my eyes start to flutter open. The early rays of the morning had awoken me. Ugh, I told mom to shut the blinds! She knows that I hate waking up this early, especially when it involves waking up for something like school. Don't even get me started on that subject.

I heavily sat up from my comfortable position and stretched my arms over the top of my head while letting out an exhausted moan. Man, I did not have a good sleep. That dream I had was downright creepy and made no sense at all. It made my brain throb and go fuzzy just thinking about it.

I slide both my legs off the edge of the bed and rubbed my eyes. Okay, first things first, these blinds have got to be shut. I shuffled to the window and squinted my eyes, since they were not prepared for the overpowering rays of light. Weird, my window is different from what I remember... didn't I have purple blinds? I shook my head. It must be the lack of sleep getting to me. I reached for the rope to shut the blinds... and my hands came up empty. Okay... No rope, I must have broken it when I was half asleep or something. I shrugged and moved on since I was way too tired to deal with stupid blinds this early. UGH, so early!

"Well, I guess it's time to turn around and face the day, whether I like it or not," I grumbled and turned around to head downstairs.

Uh, Okay. That definitely wasn't how I left my room last night.

One, the bed was made and it looked like it had been untouched which was definitely false since I just woke up five minutes ago.

Two, my room was an entirely different colour scheme and my bedroom walls were now a forest green colour... This "new" room had a teenage-masculine vibe, from the different concert posters on the wall to the inability to see the floor from the amount of dirty clothes. My face ran dry, turning white as a sheet.

"I'm... I'm in a boy's room," I stuttered and ran to examine myself in the giant mirror on the opposite side of the room. Okay, no bruises, I have all my limbs and I look pretty good considering it's this early in the morning... Dame, why can't my hair look this good when I try to get it this way?

"FOCUS, LEA!" I grumbled. This is not the time to get sidetracked. I was in a boys room, wait, and why am I fully clothed? I looked down to examine my body more closely to see if it just wasn't my eyes playing tricks on me. I was wearing my favourite jeans and purple top... and my shoes!?

"What the..." I gripped my hair in frustration, as I am so very confused. How did I get here? How come I don't remember what happened to me last night? I didn't get kidnapped... at least I hope I didn't. For all I know, I can be drugged and memory loss could be the main side effect. Oh no... did I get raped!?

Whoa there, Lea. No need to jump to conclusions. And now you are talking to yourself in your head... When are you going to learn to fix that?

I sighed in frustration, skimming through ideas of what to do. I scanned my pockets. Great, I have no wallet and my cell phone is gone. This is just perfect, just peachy. Calling the authorities is out of the question... Wait!

Okay, I'm dumb. Why don't I just leave? No one is here, I'm not tied up or gagged and the door is right there... I swear, when I get panicked, I miss the most obvious things. I gave myself mental face palm and shook my head at my stupidity. There could have been an elephant in the room and I wouldn't have even noticed...

I ran to the window to get an idea of where I actually was. I tripped over most of the mounds of clothes, but made it to the window without falling flat on my face. By the looks of the view, I'm in a simple suburb on the second story of a modern house. It shouldn't be too hard to escape and when I'm finally outside, I can simply ask people where I am. Good job, Lea! Calm and collected...
