In The Life Of A Killer

Chapter 9

My alarm went off at 7:15am because I wanted to get up early every morning and have enough time to put on makeup, decide what to wear and be ready for the day. I know it's cliche and cheesy but Jamie made me want to feel like the only girl in the whole entire world and I wanted to dress up and look as pretty as I possibly could.

I had told myself that I was going to start this year by wearing dresses so that is exactly what I'm going to start today. I chose the cutest floral dress I could find. It had pastel blue, purple, pink, mini flowers covering it and had a nice scoop neck which made my body type look flattering. I used a light brown belt to go around and pull my waistline to give the dress more shape and outline my hourglass shape. I added a white jacket and a pair of small brown boots with heels.

Time for makeup. I know it may sound crazy but I actually enjoy putting makeup on in the morning. All the usual stuff first like bit of concealer, foundation and then comes the part I enjoy most. Eyes. I obviously brought all my naked palettes with me so started with naked 3 and used different shades of pink for a summer light vibe. I loved that at SOI you got a longer summer holiday. More time to enjoy the sun whereas at Willoby high we had to go back on 16th August every single year but we broke up at the end of June rather than start of July. At the moment it was 17th September. It's been a month since I started year 10.  It went so fast. SOI officially starts on 21st September this year. Jamie and not I are alone for another three days till all the other students arrive.

I believe that our year has one hundred and twelve students which is a fairly good number. Hopefully that means out of those one hundred and twelve students I will find someone to chat to and befriend. Well I suppose I already have Jamie as a friend but what if all his friends come back and he abandons me as I'm the weird new girl. I'm sure he has hundreds of friends who he would want to hang out rather than me. Anyway I have three more days to prepare myself for all of this so I need to stop stressing and freaking out. I need to stop procrastinating!

Back to makeup, so add some mascara and a subtle red lipgloss. I have to say I look pretty good today but one problem. Hair. What do I do with my hair. Should I leave it down? Do I put it in a bun, a high ponytail, a half pony-tail? Which one makes me look most attractive? Well usually hair down but if it's windy, it becomes my own personal hell. I think the best option is a half pony as it gets the hair out of your face but your hair is still down so if there is wind then most of my locks will be flowing behind me rather than attacking my face.

As I was putting on my shoes and taking ten years to lace them up, I got a knock on the door. 'Jamie, come in!' I shouted. No reply back. Ugh. I have to stop half way through putting on these ghastly but really nice shoes to go and answer the door. No one was there. I looked down and I saw a kitten which looked like Merlin. It had a little wizard chat strapped around his ears. Then on his collar I spotted a note. I picked up the tiny kitten in one hand and caressed his little body with my arm. I took off the note with my other hand and it read:

'Dear KittyKat, I know that you love your kitten very much so guess what? I decided to create a real life Merlin! We are allowed three pets per dorm hallway so this shall be one of them. I am waiting for you in the dining room in our spot with an array of food for breakfast. I got up early and organised it so you didn't have to wait for breakfast like yesterday when you had to wait so long for dinner. Sorry about that. Anyway I will be waiting. Love from Jamie xxx'

I swear to God, that that is the sweetest thing any human being has done for me. And he put 'xxx' and he wrote 'love from' OMG! I'm probably reading way into this but who cares. What's even crazier is that there is a real life Merlin in my hands! I couldn't wait to get to Jamie so I grabbed the shoe I hadn't put on yet and ran with Merlin towards the dining area.

As I burst through the doors, to my shock, Jamie was there with a feast of food but only one thing wrong. There was a man holding a gun against Jamie's head.
