I awake to my alarm at six thirty, as usual. But, nothing about today feels like my "usual". I'm covered in a cold sweat that makes my loose tshirt cling to my skin and my hair stick to the back of my neck.
I untwist my legs from my sheets and unwillingly pull my shuddering body out of bed. I look in the mirror and take in my wild appearance. My red hair is tangled and sticks up in odd puffs away from my head. My eyes have big, purple dark circles underneath them, the color of fresh bruises.
First, I get to work on taming my wild hair, pulling my brush through it and braid it down my back. Then, I rub some foundation across my face and underneath my eyes, covering the dark circles but they were still noticeable. Sighing, I slip on my black v neck, skinny jeans and my two silver thumb rings. I rush into the bathroom and brush my teeth, grab my backpack and head towards the front door.
I freeze. I forgot about Bianca yesterday...
I pull open the door and shut it behind me. There she is, waiting for me at the end of my drive way like normal.
"Scarlet! You look like you've seen a ghost!" she takes in my appearance. I just look at her, slightly confused.
"I thought you were mad at me.." I say.
"Mad? Why on earth would I be mad? You should stop focusing on my emotions and worry about getting some sleep," she states.
"So you're not mad at me for what happened yesterday?" I asked, clearly surprised.
"What happened yesterday?" She stops in her tracks, turning her entire body to face me. I stop, too.
"You know, in the bathroom.." I attempt to explain. She furrows her eyebrows together and pushes her brown hair away from her face.
"I literally have no idea what you're talking about, Scar," she says and continues walking. I stare after her but end up following her to the school. I'm going crazy, I think to myself. Absolutely bonkers. They'll throw me in a mental hospital.
The rest of the walk was like normal, her chatting my ear off.
But I was getting ready for what's to come, mentally preparing myself for a seriously abnormal type of day.
