Dark Place

Chapter II: Morning

"duh duh dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnn duh dun dun dun dun dun du duuuuuuun" (Pocahontas "The Colors of the Wind"). "Click." "Mmmmm" (rolls over in bed). Body - "I don't want to get up!. " Mind - "I have to I have school." Aaliyah slide onto the floor and as slowly as possible gets up saying "The struggle is real."

  She grabs her phone and turns on some music. "Hmm. I guess I'll listen to Hollywood Undead today", said Aaliyah. As she walks to the bathroom singing "You've got the mother fucking right to remain violent! Hollow points hiding in my clip, I'll take 25 just to watch your life end. I pray father please forgive me 'for I sin, got these sticks of dynamite and dying to light them!" Head banging the whole way.

  She uses the toilet, brushes her teeth, and puts her contacts in. When she's finished she goes back to her room. She changes her long, black, plaid, marching band pajama pants for blue jeans and a belt with a black guitar on it. She puts a baggy black and gray tie dye marching band t-shirt on over her black sports bra. She put on her long black socks and grey and light green Nike's. She sets on her bed, put deoderant on, and brushe her long brown hair with natural red hi lights.

  She grabs her gray jacket, bookbag, ipad, phone, book, and clarinet. She turns off her phone. She walks out of her room and down the hall to the living room. Her dogs follow. A black Lab with a white cross on her chest, and a Siberian Husky. Coco, and Otto, a girl and a boy. You would think they get along but they fight over food, beds, and Aaliyah.

  "Bye guys" says Aaliyah as she walks out the door. She locks the door and continues a few steps on the porch then onto the sidewalk. She walks off of the sidewalk to walk in the little bit of snow left from March. She loves the "crunch crunch" it makes when she walks on it. She waddle as a panguin then walks normal again.

  When she makes it to the edge of the yard she stands in the cold air waiting for the bus. The bus is turning the corner and coming down the road from Aaliyahs' left.

  Her naighbor Ryan a house down and a year younger than Aaliyah walks out of his house. He always comes out at the last possible moment. They don't talk much anymore.

  Aaliyah and Ryan board the bus and set. Since she lives in town Aaliyahs' bus is stuffed with kids with half their ass on the set. "Three to a set everywhere today...shit!." Aaliyah and Ryan both have end sets but are use to it being the 3rd to last bus stop.

  The bus is caotic since this new bus driver we got from the middle of last year. Benny the old bus driver was fun but didn't take no crap. This guy just sets there and drives. Kids standing, playing rap music over the buses radio, ya. On to school then.
