DREAMS

Chapter 1: 'Nothing new'

I woke up at the sound of birds chirping and the rustling of trees outside the  window with the rays of sunlight across my face .

It was a  rather peaceful sight.

Taking a deep breath, I  slipped off my duvet before hopping off my small but comfortable bed.

I felt light and quickly went to the bathroom ,brushed my teeth,showered,combed my brown locks before wearing a lavender top and blue jeans with dark blue jumper.

Grabbing my phone and bag i went down the hallway leading to the kitchen .

Made myself breakfast: eggs with bacon .

After I  finished breakfast , glanced  up at the clock to see it read 7:48am.

Yes .  I'm an early riser or so I  thought.

With no boyfriend and basically no close friends ,my daily routine is getting up early ,school and back home .

Of course I have my family .It just happens that my parents went to visit one of our close relative ,leaving me alone at home .

I placed the plate back and washed before locking the door as I walked out along the busy pavement .

It is July .

The streets were damped from the rain last night .

The weather was a mix of wet and humid.

Walking along the streets I noticed the busy everyday traffic .

Not to forget the streets filled with vendors selling goods to fruits to jeweleries.

A smile crept across my lips as I watched while walking.

Yes, I am heading to the park just a few blocks from home.

Everyday I would spend a few hours in the park unless I'm too busy.

I love listening to music .

As I reached the park ,I sat on a bench underneath a tree.

I took out my sketchbook and started.

It always pleased me how calm and peaceful I felt when I sketch the smiles of people and bring life into the blank white pages.

Yeah, I sketch - children playing ,with laughs in their faces;couples spending moments ;and families enjoying themselves.

Oh how I love it .

I would spend my  few minutes in the park before heading to school.

Checking my phone it read 9:30am .
I quickly pack my book and pencils in my bag and head off on my way to school.

By the time I entered ,students were here and there,either with friends or with acquaintances.

The school  welcomed with trees and flower bushes .

In the middle  is a pond .

The buildings look grand and shows how it stood proud after all these years.
