I sighed. I couldn't stay in bed all day, I had school to get too. Reluctantly I sat up and stretched. This was not going to be a good day! Even if so far it hadn't been.
I slid off my bed and trudged into my bathroom.
I passed barefooted across the cold tiles to the sink. I gazed at my gaunt reflection. I always looked like a ghost in the morning, dark circles under my eyes gave the illusion of little sleep. But no matter how many hours of sleep I get, they never go away.

I pulled the mirror forward to reveal the storage cabinet behind it where I kept my bathroom supplies and cosmetics. Sighing I reached in to grab what I needed. Time to apply the mask.

An hour later I was walking out the front door dressed in a knee high flower pressed dress and white pumps my bag slung over my shoulder. I had taken to walking to school as I just love the fresh air.
I sighed contently as a breeze wafted through my hair, the cool breeze flushing my senses and washing away the last remnants of my sleep.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and grasped it tightly between my fingers as I unlocked it and flicked through the screens.
I entered Instagram and to my surprise there was a notification saying I had received a message. Puzzled I pressed on the icon.
I froze. No like literally I stopped walking. I just stood there in the middle of the pavement staring at the message.
A thin banner reading "theEvilQueenstacos" has replied.
No.
Fucking.
Way.
My favourite account of all time just replied to me. OH MY GOODNESS!!
Ok Regina, breathe, breathe, just see what she says! She could have said "oh yay another annoying fan, go away". I gulped. I don't know if I could stand my idol rejecting me like that.
Shaking my head I willed my legs to walk again as I tapped on the message.
Aww thank you love that is so sweet!
SHE CALLED ME LOVE! Oh my gosh I might just faint. Oh goodness Regina stop stopping! You are going to be late!
I started walking again and but my lip as my fingers hovered over the keys before typing
You are such an amazing account and you deserve every single one of your followers! You are just...wow I can't get over that fact you replied!!!thank you!
Send.

A goofy grin spread across my face as I tucked my phone back in my pocket and sped up my walking pace.
Yup today was defiantly a great day!
