when the sun goes down

Ari

Car horns, kids screaming, trains rattling by, just all the normal sounds to Arabella. A tall girl with jet black hair and dark brown eyes. She was tall and thin. Amongst her family and friends she was better known as 'Ari'. She was a good student but didn't really get on with her family. Caring and highly protective of her closest friends but she did have quite a rebellious streak in her.

Casually blowing smoke above all the confusion down below. She was momentary lost in a world of her own. High above everything like the birds soaring though the clouds, looking down on the world below. Small cars that looked like toys with so many people rushing to where they needed to be and not taking a moment to stop and awe at the warm day with a blue sky and hardly any clouds. Felix was purring like crazy as always. "Come here you" she said to the ginger cat. He came and rubbed himself up against her fishnet tights. She gave him a stroke in between his ears, where she knew he liked it best. His fur was soft underneath her fingertips and he purred ever so softly that if you weren't carefully listening, you would totally miss it. After a while after stroking him she said out loud "Ah, sorry but I've got to go soon my little one". She stubbed her cigarette in a already full ashtray and made her way down the fire escape back to her small but bright flat. She pulled on her jeans over her tights and changed her pj top for one of her many band tshirts. She washed her face, brushed her teeth and grabbed her things to head down town for her first lecture of the year. "But coffee first" she thought.
