Monday Morning she got up and didn't have the energy or the drive to do her morning routine so she just through on black yoga pants and a loose light pink tank top and pulled her hair in to a side braid and went down stairs. She grabbed a granola bar usually she had a gourmet breakfast waiting for her but her dads were away on business grabbed a gray Hollister hoody it was her favorite it was warm and made her feel safe. Then she garbed her keys and left for school.
She got in her car and turn on her favorite radio station and when you and me by life house came on she broke down and cried she couldn't believe it was over then 5 minutes later she realized if she didn't leave soon she would be late for school so she out on her Gucci sun glasses and left she felt nervous going into the lima bean because of the scene she caused yesterday so she stopped at a dunking donuts and got her coffee and continued on her root to school.
