Shades of Pink

Chapter 1

I really liked the feeling of cold air blowing on my face. It felt very ... refreshing. It was almost 10pm, and I was standing in my backyard. I was taking in that fresh cold air. It relaxed me.

My parents were not yet home from work. So I had the house to myself for the next hour. I like it this way. I like the peace and quiet of being home alone for many hours everyday.

But I use this time to rest. Most teens would want to throw some big raging party. I'm not about that. I simply just lay in my bed as watch Netflix or check my social media apps.

It was a Sunday night, I was contemplating whether I should be organized and lay out my outfit for school tomorrow now. I could also be lazy and just figure it out in the morning.

Option 2 it is.

I carried on with my night routine. I washed my face, showered, moisturized, and brushed my teeth.

My hair was quite the hassle because of my background so I just tied it back in a military bun and covered it with my bonnet.

As I layer in bed and pulled the covers up to my chests , I noticed I had a message on Snapchat. It was from my friend Katherine.

Katherine and I were not super close. But we weren't super distant. We were just regular class friends. But I admired her musical skills. Her and I were in the same Jazz Band elective and it was really nice hearing her play. She was so good.

I opened up her message :

  can u pls send me the math hw that's due tomorrow? i forgot to do it because of my soccer game 😭

I sighed. I don't really like sending people my work because I always worry that the teacher will notice the similarities and get us both in trouble. But I decided to be kind and send it to her .

Sure . I'll send it in five minutes

Thank you so much L, your a lifesaver ❤️😭

I smiled. Yup. That's me. Always helping my friends out. 

I soon after went to bed after chatting with her and a few other friends some more .

It had been a good day for me. I was trying to keep those positive vibes going.

I don't know why I thought that I could be happy for a long period of time without something coming and fucking it up though.

End of Chapter

Y'all I want to point out that i will be using a little bit of foreshadowing .

Foreshadowing is basically when the author says something that hints to something that will happen later on in the book.

Thank you for reading. Bye
