Chapter 6:

Thursday

I rubbed my eyes with both my palms and got up to start getting ready for school. I almost considered staying in today, but that would ruin my perfect attendance. I had gotten absolutely no sleep. I had started on homework right after I got home last night, and decided to read a little before going to bed. Not the best choice since I ended up staying up and reading. I had started to read Looking For Alaska by John Green a few weeks ago but after starting it, I never got around to read it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge bookworm, except I was just distracted with nothing and never got around to it. When I did catch up with Looking For Alaska, I thought about why I didn't read it up until last night. This book really caved me in, I assumed it to be John Greens writing, but I wouldn't know since this was the first book of his that I was reading. I'm almost done with it, a few pages left, I'll finish it later today. There is one thing I'm really disappointed about though, regarding the plot, I don't want to spoil the book but, I knew it was going to happen but it also caught me off guard. I'm also really excited to read John Green's other work, I really like this book and he has some other popular books that I've been wanting to read, such as Paper Towns and who can forget, The Fault In Our Stars. Actually, I want to read all his books, not just the popular ones. I've seen the movies for both Paper Towns and TFIOS, and the books are always better then the movies, so I can't wait.

My eyes felt heavy and sore and it kind of hurt when I blinked but I ignore it and let my hair down to briefly brush my hair out before getting into the shower. In the shower, first I brushed my teeth and then continued with my shower routine.

After getting out and wiping off, I rolled my hair into my towel and put it up into a turban. I then moisturized my arms, legs, and face. It was still only six so I decided to put on a pair of really comfortable shorts and oversized sweater and went down to get some breakfast.

No one was downstairs yet so I got myself a glass of orange juice and went back upstairs. I had to do something, if I sat down, I knew I would fall asleep, If I fell asleep, I wouldn't wake up for school. What's better then going for a walk in a time like this.

I popped open the window and looked out. I thought about the window directly across from mine. I thought about Sophie and Ace. I wondered if Ace was in there right now. I let out a sigh and walked to my drawer to get a pair of socks, leaving the window open. It was chilly so I put on a pair of black thigh high socks and threw on black combat boots. I didn't care much about my appearance since the chance of me running into someone I knew at this time was really thin. I plugged in my earphones and put on some Troye Sivan.

I turned left after walking out the front door and paid attention to the grassy area across my house and the other houses aligned with mine. You could catch glimpses of a pond deep in the grassy field. I focused on the fresh sunlight hitting the pavement and the empty blue sky rimmed with orange ombre. I focused on the distant bird chirping and the chilly air getting at me and the warmth between my arms and how soft the fabric of my sweater felt on my torso. I thought about how my damp hair felt against the back of my neck. I had only gotten a few steps far when I decided to capture the sun seeping through the trees, I took out my phone and took a few pictures, all from different angles taking in the beauty of nature. Morning time really was beautiful. It made me feel invincible. It also made me drowsy. The good kind of drowsy, when all you want to do is get nice and warm and slowly fall asleep. Its not so much the sleep as it is the stage in between. Your mind is far off humming of all the random happy things and you're not sure of what you're thinking because you're too caught up in letting the warmth fill you. The moment right before blissful sleep takes over. I hope you know what I'm talking about, because that moment, the transition between awake and asleep is peaceful. I don't know about you, but that's my most favorite part about sleeping, Slowly leaving and not thinking about anything particular, as if all the trouble is somewhere very far and if you're in that bubble of sweet pre slumber, there's no way the trouble can get to you because you're so consumed with not caring.
