It's the weekend. It's the morning. And yet... I have places to be...
10:30am. Who. In their right mind. Agrees. To go out. On a SATURDAY. At half past ten. IN THE MORNING!?
I did... Yeah that was me...
After Christopher had left his voicemail I just couldn't say no... He's really trying, so I guess I have to go. Forcing a much needed sigh against the thick air of my room, I check my phone clock and surely enough, I overslept... I have about 15 minutes to have a shower and put on the least comfortable clothes I can find. Oh I'm so excited!! Hanging out with popular kids. Ugh.
----------10:26am----------
My dark hair falls over my eyes, giving up on my appearance, as per usual, I brush it over to the left side of my face and gaze shamefully into the mirror. Why did I agree to this? What are we even going to be doing that requires me to wake up so early?
Grey jeans and a black, long sleeved T-Shirt. My silver watch reflects light into the bathroom mirror and shines straight into my eyes for a split second as I move away from the sink. I flinch as again, I am blinded, only this time it was not by my hair. Once again I look up to meet my own eyes in the mirror. My own... Red eyes... What the hell? I blink, still red. I blink again, still red. My pupils consumed by a dark, monstrous shade of red. I look closer and closer into the mirror, into those eyes curiously looking back at me. Slowly the colour fades back to brown. Did that just happen? I exit the bathroom, although I cannot escape the image lingering in my mind, so many questions of what this entire week has become.
After deciding that I'm not in the mood for breakfast I read through my messages,
10:34
Christopher Waters: Hey, we're down the road, get ready!
Oh... I guess I should respond. Wait a minute, I don't remember telling him my address...
10:36
Just thought - How do you know where I live??? :Jacob Rowley
10:39
Christopher Waters: Don't worry about it, we're outside.
I walk out the door, the silver hinges wine in agony. The handle is freezing.
