Chapter One –
I cautiously opened one eye and tried to assess the sunlight that was pouring into my room. With one eye still stubbornly shut, I slowly propped myself up with my arms and peered around. An empty wine bottle, clothes strewn about, and the angry flashing light on my phone tells me I probably drank a bit too much and was now paying for it. My bed made a soft creak as I shifted my weight to attempt a glance out the window, and that's when I heard a light shuffle noise outside my door.
A soft knock followed by the mocking croon of my roommate saying-
"Good morning princess...welcome to the land of the living…finally."
I could hear Mitch giggle at his own sassiness, and my pounding head strongly felt it was way too much to deal with so early in the morning. I growled back-
"Ugh seriously, go away."
On the other side of the door, the giggling stopped. A smaller and less sarcastic voice said-
"Okay…well someone obviously needs coffee….do you want to go on a Starbucks date?"
"What I need is more sleep. I don't know why we are having a conversation through my door so damn early in the morning.."
"But Scott it's almost eleve…"
I cut him off by making a loud exasperated noise and flopping over on my side. I pulled the blankets up and angrily listened to the noise of Mitch's feet softly padding away down the hall.
