Stuck in the Middle with You

Beep Beep Beep. I opened on eye and rolled over in bed. Its not even light out and they are asking me get up for school. Who's bight idea was that. I silenced the sound and rolled over on my back. I starred up at the off white ceiling. I was tangled in my olive green comforter and grey sheets. After a few more minutes I had finally pulled myself mostly awake.

My toes hit the cold hard wood flooring causing them to scrunch up. I slowly walked over to my mirrored closet doors and begun to look at myself. I wasn't tall but I wasn't that short either. I wore and old big gray t-shirt that hit right in the middle of my thighs. My redish brown hair hung behind my back with tangles and knots cascading through it. I finally looked up at my face. It was covered in freckles the reminded me of Mom but my pale piercing green eyes I received from Dad. We are not sure where I got the red hair from. I was Ruby Taylor. I liked my looks I wasn't amazingly hot but I thought I was pretty cute.

I stepped across the cold floor and into the drafty hallway of my old home. Across from my room sat the upstairs bathroom and that's were I was headed. I stripped off my pajamas and turned on the water. I stood there waiting till it got to the temperature I liked. The hot water felt nice on the cold October morning . The shower woke me up a bit more then I had been. I wrapped myself in a pale pink fluffy towel that had sat on the rack.

I quickly passed back through the freezing hallway. I put on undergarments and wrapped my hair in the towel. I stood in front of my open closet and looked around. I found my favorite maroon sweater and a pair of black leggings. I slipped them on and went to find my riding boots and some fuzzy socks. I topped the outfit off with an infinity scarf.

I faced my vanity table. After a few swipes of mascara and a bit of brown eyeliner that made my eyes look even greener I was done. I combed through my still damp hair. I heard somewhere you should not use a brush when its wet or something. I pulled out my purple hair dryer and begun to use it.

I skipped down the stairs by twos. I grabbed the peanut butter chocolate granola bar Mom had left for my and headed towards my car.

I pressed the button on my keys and waited till I heard the beep to get in. I sat there well the windshield defrosted and the old Honda had warmed up a bit. Then I sped off towards school.

I liked to drive fast. What can I say, I have a need for speed. I arrived in seven minutes, a new record. I stepped out of my car into the cold air. God it was freezing today.

I was still a bit early. In need of warmth I went to the only place open right then, the library.  I needed to check out a book for A.P English. I was a writing nerd, what can I say.

I pushed through the heavy doors and into the cozy building. I shoved my hands into my pockets as I  looked through the rows of books. I finally found the one I was looking for. Good thing I had come in it was the last copy they had. I walked to the front desk and handed the book to the librarian who I can never remember the name of. As she was ringing up my book I noticed Conner Dale sitting with a few of his friends. I smiled and he smiled back quickly. His friend Max elbowed him and whispered something in his ear. Max was a douche I don't know why Conner hung out with him. Conner kept my gaze for a couple more seconds then returned to the conversation with his friends.

So this is new. I wanted to start writing again. So yay! Ruby is side bar. If you could make a cute cover for this that would be great don't really like the one I made.
