"leia, come on get up! it's your first day back at liberty high! i'm making breakfast, it's your favourite!" mrs natalie jones, leia's mother shouted from downstairs, her voice echoing through the whole house considering they hadn't finished unpacking. boxes filled with clothes, shoes, little bits and bobs covered leia's room that she still hadn't unpacked due to being too focused on making her walls look pretty. covered in movie posters and little polaroid pictures with white fairy lights hanging all around her room, it made her feel comfortable and really leia-like.
laying in her bed, she turned over and grabbed her phone and clicked the home button. notifications flooded her home screen which she flicked through, not having the motivation to check them. 7:03am. she pulled the duvet back off her warm body before getting up and stretching, making an inhumane noise. she made her way across the hall to the bathroom and opened the door, being greeted by the smell of fresh lemons and squeaky clean white tiles. turning on the hot water in the shower, she stripped off her "pj's" which mainly consisted of an old shirt and underwear. she unlocked her phone and opened spotify and shuffled her favourite playlist, the way you make me feel by michael jackson blaring through her phone. she put her hand under the water making sure the temperature was perfect and jumped in, doing her usual daily routine.
after her shower, she got out and wrapped a fluffy white towel around her petite body and another smaller one around her hair. she made her way back to her room, looking through one of the many boxes that were in her room. groaning due to so many boxes in her room, she ruffled through the boxes and settled on a red flowy dress and a blue denim jacket, paired with her white converse. taking off the towel that covered her body, she picked out a white bra with a matching pair of underwear and put them on, the red dress following and sitting nicely on her body. putting on a pair of white ankle socks, she went over to her desk and squirted a bit of moose into the palm of her hand and ran it through her hair, coating the ends mainly. after that, she plugged in her hair dryer and flipped her hair upside down before drying her hair. flipping her hair back up, she put her hair into her usual side parting and grabbed her curlers before turning them on and waiting for them to heat up. after a few minutes, she grabbed her curlers and loosely curled a few stands of her hair, making it look wavy and complimenting her face. filling in her eyebrows a bit and coating her eyelashes in some mascara, she put on her white converse and quickly brushed her teeth. as she made her way downstairs, she couldn't help but hear her mum and her little brother talking.
her brother, riley was 11 and starting his first year at his new school. leia couldn't help but feel bad because she wished she could be there for riley for his first day and help him through it, but she knew she couldn't and riley had to do it himself. besides, how will be settle in when he's always around someone he's use to and familiar with? he needed to do this himself and settle in.
"are you looking forwards to your first day of high school, riley?" ms jones said, putting a bowl of rice krispies in front of him.
