I turned off the alarm as soon as it clicked. c****d an ear to see if I’d woken anyone. Worried that someone in my family would get up and discover my plan.
I lay there for long moments. After I realized that no one had heard, I started drifting into dancing dreams. Then a bird outside my window twittered. I blinked, confused in the dark.
Then I remembered. This was the day. It was going to be like what I’d read about in On the Road and The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. We’d dance circles in the sun and friggin’ transcend.
On the RoadThe Electric Kool-Aid Acid TestFuck yeah.
After a quick shower, I combed my part into a perfect line before running a brush through my hair. Not bad. It’d finally grown to my waist and the blonde highlights were shining like the music I was about to hear.
