waking early
As I lay here trying to wake myself up for the day I couldn't help but wonder what I'm doing with my life. I have no job. No car. And nothing really going for me but my long jet black hair, my bright green eyes and my beautiful pale complexion. I don't even have a boyfriend.
My mind reeling as I hop out of bed and gather my clothes for the day and I slip into my scalding hot shower I can only hope that today will be the day my life changes.
After my shower I get dressed and brush my teeth and run a brush through my hair. I applied my makeup elaborately and quickly and I set off downstairs to the kitchen. I grabbed my favorite cinnamon toast crunch cereal and some milk and I ate hurriedly so I could go on another job hunt this week.
Hopefully this time I find a good one.
I decided to take a small break from my job hunt and decided to take a scenic route through the woods on my way home for lunch. And that's when I caught a scent I've never smelled before. It smelled sweet and alluring. Kind of like flowers.
The more I walked the stronger it got. And all of a sudden something darted passed me so fast I couldn't see anything but a blur. And it sounded like it was laughing. It sounded like a man's laugh.
I started to run unsure of where to go or where to turn. Frantically I kept running until I thought I was safe.
My mind blazing with questions as to what just happened. I finally made it back out of the woods. Away from the dark canopy of trees and back into the beautiful sunlight.
What just happened…. What was that… who was that…. Was it going to hurt me….
All these questions prodding in the back of my mind as I run into my friend Isaac carrying a dozen roses and what seemed like an inexpensive wine.
“Hi Isaac. How's it going?” I said.
He smiled his big smile and said “ It's going great. I have a date with Bianca. I'm on my way to her house, her parents are out of town and she wanted some company if you know what I mean…” waggling his eyebrows and smirking at me.
“Men” I scoffed, “Have a great time. And be good” I said as he walked away doing a little dance. I shook my head in disbelief at how idiotic he can be. And definitely has a bad taste in girls. Bianca is what you would call a free spirit and no redeeming qualities other than… well I guess you know what that is.
