"Mirrors show us what we look like, not who we are." they once said in ancient times.

I might be referring to a post I had seen on Instagram a week ago by "they" from "ancient times" but still, it didn't change the fact that this quote was debatable, did it?

But really; even when I took a second to think about it, I disagreed right away. Is there a real difference between the way you look and who you are? Or what will happen when they are the exact same?

Uh, never mind, enough with the philosophical monologue. It wasn't the right time neither the right place. Also, I wasn't in the best state of mind considering the alcohol running through my veins for the past hour, making me feel dizzy along with the feeling of gratification caused by what happened minutes ago.

Looking at the reflection of myself at the grimy bathroom mirror, which high-likely wasn't cleaned for decades or so cause there could be no other explanation for the dust it had, all I could see was how messed up I was. My red lipstick was all over my face. A plain black bra was the only thing that was covering my chest so I was feeling a little chilly with the help of the breeze coming in from the window. My eyes rested on the red and purple marks that were spread on my upper body and then went up to- Oh shit.

My brown waves were looking like they left their place to a bird nest. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a bird flew out of it and started to chirp around.

Actually, it would be so cool to have my own hair bird. What would I name it? Definitely Tweety if it's yellow or Mordecai if-

The heavy panting sound cut my bird naming session and I took a glance at the guy sitting on the toilet lid for a while now. His green shirt was still unbuttoned all the way down and the same could be said about his jeans' zipper. He ran a hand through his damp curls as he rested his head against the wall.

If thoughts had voices, it'd totally ruin the reputation I left on him since it'd be a little bit awkward to talk about my nonexistent hair bird after what happened. I wasn't even done with the naming...

Turning my gaze back to myself, I took a napkin and tried to wipe off my smudged lipstick as much as I could. It was nowhere near clean, but at least I didn't look like I dig my face into a ketchup lake anymore. It was more like a ketchup puddle now. Things I'd do for those lakes and puddles to actually exist...

My black crop top was hanging down from one of the doors so I walked over to it, causing the sound of my heels echo in the small bathroom through the muffled music coming in. Not caring about how dirty it could be, I picked up my top and put it on. The hickeys were mostly covered now and the rest on my neck...Well, I didn't have my make up bag with me so I didn't have the chance to cover them.

As a final touch, I combed my hair with my hands to make it look normal as much as possible. When I was finally done and the nest was (un)fortunately gone, I opened the door to get out, letting the music playing fill the bathroom.

"W-where are you going? I'm not done yet," the guy stuttered before I could leave. It was doubtful boy, you had been trying to control your panting for the last ten minutes minimum and to be honest, I didn't really care about his thoughts on this, I didn't even know his name.

"But I am." I said and slammed the door before he could let out a word. I couldn't bear his begs and shit. After all, I was still in mourning after the sudden disappearance of my nonexistent hair bird.

helloooooooooo

i hope y'all enjoyed it <3

you guys can't imagine how many times i wrote the first chapter over and over again. it was such a pain in the ass but i think this is the one so here we go. (btw i split the first chapter into two: 00 and 01. otherwise it'd be too long)

i doubt anyone will read my story but just trying my chances here don't mind me

i really hope my insecurities about my writing won't get into my way :( for the record, they most definitely will.

also, please feel free to correct me if there are any mistakes in grammar or any kind of discrepancy in the plot (time, place, etc.) that I haven't realized. I'd really appreciate it <3

okay then, see you in the other chapter. love you and stay safe :*
