One of those stupid radio morning talk shows blared loudly from Gaia's
alarm clock and raindrops pelted the window of the room Tatiana and Gaia
share. "Turn that thing off" Tatiana yelled from the bathroom. That girl
gets up so early. Gaia slammed her hand down on the alarm's off button and
rolled unceremoniously off her bed. She walked over to a pile of clothes on
her floor and pulled a pair of khaki cargo pants and a navy blue sweater
from it. She yawned and walked to the bathroom. Tatiana was piling some
kind of hair styling product into her long straight blonde hair, which was
silky soft and shining as usual. "Out" Gaia growled. "Well, someone got out
of the wrong bedside this morning" Tatiana huffed, walking past Gaia back
into the room. A soft smile played about Gaia's lips. "What?!?!" Tatiana
screeched.
"It's got out on the wrong side of the bed this morning, Tatiana." Gaia
corrected her softly. Tatiana pouted. Before she could say another word
Gaia slammed the bathroom door behind her and started the shower. She
stepped in, the hot water waking her up slightly. By the time she had
showered and dressed, Tatiana was already gone. Probably at Starbucks, Gaia
thought, bitterly. She grabbed her messenger bag and walked out onto the
street. I just need a few donuts or something, she thought, not bothering
to lock the door behind her.
