*Alice's Pov*
It makes you shrink to the size of an ant. Hearts? Queens? Hats? Rabbits?
Time?
The sun's rays of light seep through the openings of the curtains that hung upon my window.
I glance over to the clock on the beside table, 8:26am. I need to get ready for work.
I uncover myself with a yawn, and finally force myself out of bed. After making my bed, I slip my slippers on and walk over to my vanity, stopping to look at myself.
I haven't changed in my opinion. Blonde hair. Blue eyes. Average height. I don't know why people think I'm special. I don't see anything in myself, yet everyone treats me like royalty.
I don't really do anything special to my hair, I just release it from the Dutch braids I slept in, making my hair wavy.
I head over to my dresser to find my clothes for work. A blue shirt with white jeans paired with black sandals. I suppose this will go good with green.
I walk to the kitchen and grab a bagel and a glass if milk. After eating I grab my keys and walk out, locking the door.
I get in my car, start it, and head to work. I work at Starbucks just because I love meeting new people. I pull into the lot and park my car.
I lock my doors and go inside heading to the back. I can already smell the coffee and tea being made. Tea is my all time favorite drink and I'm not quite sure why.
I throw on my apron and head towards the front.
"Hello Miss Alice, how are you this fine morning," My co-worker, Daxton, asks.
"Im doing just find" I reply with a smile.
The bell rings and a man walks in. He has very pale skin and us tall and skinny. Kind if scary but also hot.
"Hello what can I get you," I ask smiling. I notice him glance down at my name tag,he looks back up smiling.
"Ill have a regular cup of tea with a tad bit more sugar added." He tells me. I put in his order glancing at me once.
"Will that be all," i ask getting a yes in response. "That'll be $2.75 please. He hands me a five and I give him his change.
"Oh what's your name," I ask.
"James,"he responds then goes to sit down. While making his order I can't stop thinking how familiar he is to me. I finish making the tea, adding just a bit more sugar. This seems familiar.
I call his name and he comes and takes it. He goes to sit back down, looking out the window. It's pretty slow this morning so u go and sit with him.
"Well hello Alice," he smiles. "Hi I'm sorry do I know you," I ask folding my arms on the table.
"Possibly, why are you remembering anything," he asks starting to feel... excited?
"Um no just the way you wanted your tea sounds familiar," I explain.
"Ah yes, um well me and some... friends love tea. We even have a tea time together," he smiles sadly.
I look at the line I had managed to miss and stand up.
"Im sorry I have to get back to work," I say, looking at him.
"No worries I'm just about to leave," he says, sranding up. I take his empty cup and look at him.
"Im sorry what's your name again," I ask.
"James... but you can call me Mad Hatter. See you soon Alice," and just like that he leaves.
His name seems so familiar. Why can't I figure it out? I walk back to the counter apologizing to the customer and continue working.
All I can think about is that guy. Mad Hatter.
