You know when you sometimes see something that looks really fun and you're like hey I'd like to join in on that and take a whack at it! Soo...yeah :D
Damn thin eye lids Sarah thought as she cracked her eyes open a bit to find the morning sun shine through her so called "Black Out" curtains.
Maybe I still have five minutes she optimistically thought as she closed her eyes with a smile on her face at the promise of more sleep. Unfortunately that was the moment when her god awful annoying alarm clock blared in her ears. She let out a heavy sigh as she stuffed her head under her pillow trying to block out the noise. Her plan was proved unsuccesful as she could still clearly hear it and reached out to smack on the button to turn it off. It was then that she had to give herself her morning get out of bed internal argument.
School sucks, the people there are morons. But you gotta get out of bed so you can achieve your dreams. Grrrrrr stupid dreams making me do things I don't want to do
That's how most of her internal arguments ended with herself usually. As she got out of bed she quickly stepped into the bathroom and flinched a bit at her reflection. Female protagonist in films were complete liars when it came to waking up looking beautiful. Her ginger hair was voluminous and not in a good way, more in the "oh god who did you get in a fight with last night?" way, her skin made marshmallow fluff look tanner then her, and underneath her blue gray eyes, purple shadows began to form. Those had arrived once school had started. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in forever since the semester had started. Not to mention she had moved that same year, meaning that she was the awkward new kid that nobody paid attention to during senior year at her school. Ignoring her exterior outlook she continued her morning routine. Once she was ready to leave she grabbed her car keys and went to the kitchen to find her mother getting ready herself.
"Have a good day" she told her as she handed her, her lunch.
"Thanks see you when I get home love ya" she smiled as she hugged her and went out to her car. The ride to school was grey. Maybe it was the color of the sky or the urban setting she had to pass through to get to school but there was no other word to describe her venture then the word grey. Seeing as she arrived to school slightly early parking was relatively easier than usual which was plus to Sarah's morning. Her first class was well dismal. It wasn't as if she found herself superior to her classmates it was the fact that they didn't listen and had no respect for the teacher, that was only trying her best to help them all succeed. Not to mention the majority of them asked absolutely stupid and off topic questions to waste time. After glancing at the clock for the fifth time a smile spread across her face as she realized it was time for her free period. Seeing as it was her senior year of high school she actually had a lot of time to waste and do whatever she wanted and she spent it in the library. Every time she made her way to the library she felt a sort of adrenaline rush within her, she couldn't explain why but every library she ever stepped into had that effect her. As she walked in and found a little corner to tuck into she reveled in the silence and the wonderfulness of a good book and let her imagination run wild, she even broke the rules a bit and ate her lunch in there to not waste time eating at a table by herself in the cafeteria.
I am a total badass she thought to herself and chuckled a bit. Several studious people glared at her for her random outburst and she quickly looked down at her book to hide her mouth. The urge to burst out laughing became paramount at that moment. Sadly once her free time had ended though Sarah had to return to the real world where people didn't enjoy silence and didn't understand why day dreaming was such a wonderful escape. Her classes passed by as slowly as possible but once her teacher set her free she practically skipped to her car and hummed to herself a bit. The drive home was the same as the drive to school only it was going the other way.
"I'm HOME" she sang as she came through the door. She could hear the noises of her father working outside on whatever DIY project he was taking on at the present moment and her mother was already in the kitchen working on dinner.
"Hello" her mother sang back. She went to her bedroom to work on her homework but as usual she somehow procrastinated and didn't end up finishing it till close to 12 am. Finally the moment had arrived though where she could get that long awaited sleep. Sarah's day had came to an end, it was an utterly normal day, quite the same as the day before, and Sarah was quite positive that the next day would be the same. It was a good life that was for sure. But for Sarah it wasn't enough, although she was quiet at school she longed for an adventure one that would change her life and one where her everyday tasks would simply be forgotten and she'd practically have to live a new life afterwards. For years her wishes on stars and 11:11 times had been on this subject and it was at this moment in her life that her wish came true.
