Some Nights - Chapter Two

A plush feeling underneath my back causes my body to relax slightly. Even though I can't sleep, the feeling of something soft still helps. Feathery pillows are my favorite thing to relax on after an exhausting day of work. Sore, aching back doesn't seem like much of a problem after resting on it. My muscles tract and retract a lot easier. Lying in a tree isn't all fun and games, you should know.

With a loud sigh, I lift myself off of the bed and onto the soft, black carpet. I'm glad it is not the cold, wooden flooring. I would be freezing my feet off every morning during the winter! It's summer, so I don't have to worry about that for a few months.

I fumble through my dresser and pick out my favorite black hoodie. In case of all emergencies, I pick out a white camisole to go underneath the warm fabrics. I open another drawer and pull out my dark, ripped skinny jeans. Ungracefully, I sleepily stumble over towards my closet and pick up my black combat boots.

Slipping on my clothes, I let my gaze drift towards the clock. I have fifteen minutes to get ready and be at the Academy I was forced into. I'm not looking forward towards my first day, so I decide that I'll just arrive late.

Walking into the bathroom, I notice that my hairband and makeup bag are already out on the counter. I open the top drawer under my sink and pick up my hairbrush.

Brushing out all of the knots in my hair, I look at my reflection. I gaze at my hair color. It is a dark brown that fades into a blonde color at the tips. I've been asked many times before in the past if I ever dyed my hair for it to look like that. It is always this color, I don't need dyes. The thing that people notice first is my eye color. My eyes are a light green at the top. The interesting thing about them is the golden color that fills the bottom. My clan has, well had, these kind of eyes. Though, their eyes actually held happiness and light in them. My eyes are dull and lifeless. I have a thin nose, medium sized lips, and high cheekbones. Long eyelashes frame my unique eyes, making the green and gold pop.

I brush my hair up into a ponytail and tie it off with the black hairband. Crouching down, I slip my hand into the back of the drawer and pull out a black ribbon. I tie the ribbon in a bow around the hairband. I check to make sure it looks about even and place my hairbrush down.

I unzip my makeup bag and begin to search for my eyeliner. It seems unreasonable that a twelve year old girl wear eyeliner, but I have never really cared for other people's opinions. Unscrewing the cap of the eyeliner, I pull out the brush and begin to paint the black makeup along the roots of my eyelashes. Satisfied with the eyeliner, I pick up the mascara bottle. Unscrewing the lid of the black liquid, I begin to paint my eyelashes, making them even longer and darker than before.

I was about to leave the bathroom when I realize that I'm not wearing my collar. A black collar, made of dyed leather, sits on my bathroom counter. I pick up the object and run my thumb over the silver decoration. It looks similar to a broken rhombus, or lightning.

Fastening the collar around my thin neck, I decide I should eat something before I leave for the first day. A delicious meal of waffles grabs my attention. I bounce down the stairs quickly and amble into the kitchen. I pop the waffles into the toaster and gather the syrup. Opening a cabinet, I pull out a plate, a fork and a knife. I place the dishes on the counter as I wait patiently for the waffles to finish cooking. Hearing the lovely ding from the toaster, I almost glide over to the delicious waffles. Gathering my food, I slowly enjoy my breakfast with a side of chocolate milk.

I finish my wonderful breakfast and realize that I still have to go to the Academy. Another glance at the clock tells me that I've wasted 45 minutes, when I was supposed to be there 30 minutes ago. I let out a small puff of air and head out of the door, locking the door as I leave.
