The Quiet Girl

Chapter 2

Rose

I woke up to my dog whining for me to get up.

I have a white Germany Shepard and her name is Lucy. She does this every morning around 7 when I get up for school. But since she doesn't know what days are, she does this even on the weekends.

I don't mind, I don't need an alarm clock at least.

I got up, threw my hair in a bun, and walked Lucy.

When I finished walking her I decided to make breakfast.

I was getting eggs out of the fridge when I heard Katie walking in.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her.

She just groaned. I laughed to myself and got her some headache medicine and water. "Here."

She took the pills and drank the water. "I feel like I would feel better if I were dead."

"Well, you wouldn't feel anything if you were dead."

She looked up at me. "I give you permission to kill me."

"I would go to jail for murder so I'd rather not."

She gasped. "I'm offended. The only reason you wouldn't kill me is because you would go to jail." She said and acted like she was hurt.

"Well, I could figure out a way to not get caught."

"You're so funny. I'm going to go lay down for about 2 years." She said and went to the living room and laid down on the couch.

"Hate to break it to you but school is in two days, you can't sleep for two years," I said starting the stove. "Want breakfast?"

"You know, I like you better when you talked less. And no thanks, maybe later."

"Ouch, really ouch." I laughed.

"Kidding!"

"I know!" We both broke out into laughter.

"Hey! Don't make me laugh my head hurts!" She whined.

"Just go to sleep!"

She groaned again and finally laid down.

I made myself some scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast.

I prepared my plate and one for Katie when she wakes up later. I took a seat on one of the stools and ate. 

I was feeling pretty good today, pretty happy. Have you ever had one of those days where for no real reason you are happy?

I don't get these days enough. Most of the time I am sad for no real reason. Not sure if that made sense but I'm going with it.

I hummed the tune of a song that was stuck in my head and cleaned up my mess. Then I walked to my room and got my things to take a shower.

I sighed when I realized I had work today. From 10 to 8 tonight. Great. There goes my happiness. Well, work isn't that bad.

I brought my phone into the bathroom and played music as I took a shower.

I took about a half an hour shower. When I was done I got out and dried myself off. I put on my black work pants and a fancy white top. I put on black socks and then black shoes. I'm a waitress at a fancy restaurant so we have to wear fancy uniforms. It's all fancy.

You would think I don't do well at my job because waiting on people requires talking to them. But I only say hello and ask a few things. It's not like I have actual conversations with the customers.
