HUNTER'S POV
I sit on my fire escape as the sun starts to rise and the moon retreats back to the horizon. I let out a sigh as I start to realize that I'm going to have to go to the dreadful place called high school. It's a interesting thing, High School. We go to school for 13 years and most of those years were just re-learning everything twice. It's so ridiculous, sometimes I wish I could run away, and just live in the woods.
Its springtime in New York so the weather is perfect. I love to sit on my fire escape and watch the moon at night. I can spend all night out here admiring the view of central park and how the stars tend to shine brighter on a full moon.
I've never known why i've had this connection to the night, it's just always been a natural thing for me.
"RINNNNNNINGGG" my alarm goes off without warning, breaking me out of daydream. That means it's 6 am and I not have to get ready for another day in hell.
"Hunter, are you up!?" My Dad yells from the kitchen.
"Yeah dad!"
"Alright, hurry up and get dress! I'll make you breakfast!"
"Alright?"
I sit on my windowsill and I looked around my room. The walls were painted grey and my bed was in the corner next to my left right under the light of the window. It was a twin sized but it was comfortable. I went to make up my bed, tucking in my olive green sheets and throwing my constellation comforter over it. I propped up my matching pillows, they each had a different constellation on them, one was the ram because I'm an aries and the other was the ursa minor, because I've always felt connected to it.
I heard the door creak and I turned around to see my husky sheila come in. Now sheila is about 8 years old but she acts as young as the puppy I got that day 8 years ago. She has a white coat with grey under and her two front paws were gery. She had one brown eye and one blue. She is my best friend. The look she was giving me meant that I was moving extremely slow.
"Stop staring at me like that."
She tilts her head, as to say " well shouldn't you be dressed by now."
"Yes I'm aware of the time. I have more then enough time to get dressed. Your so naggy."
She leisurely walks over to my bed and got comfortable right in the middle and looks up at me. She was basically saying that I should get a move on.
"Fine."
Now for most people talking to you dog might be seen as weird. But I don't know how to explain it. Sheila is my bestfriend, and I don't' know how but I can understand her like she's human. The signals she gives me just let me know what she thinks. LIke me she's very sarcastic.
I drag myself to my closet while she watches me across the room, like a mother patiently waiting for me to hurry up.
" Do you have to watch me like that?"
I took my sweatpants off and threw on a pair of ripped grey jeans. I left on my sleep tank because even though it's getting warmer you can never have too many layers. I threw on my black Bring Me the Horizon shirt and my grey leather jacket. Some people say emo is dead, well I've never grew out of my emo phase and that's perfectly fine with me.
I go over to my desk that's in the other corner of my room to start putting on my makeup. I don't really wear foundation like most people i know. Especially because it's so hard to find the right color to match my brown skin. I just do a simple cat eye with a little bit of black eyeshadow underneath, to make my brown eyes pop. I throw on some highlighter and I filling my eyebrows. I like to look natural but dark at the same time. I love eyeliner.
Sheila hops off my bed and goes to my door to gram my boots for me. Their black doc martins with the constellations on them. She drops them at my feet and gives me a very stern look. I rub her head, "yes love i'm aware I'm gonna be late." she rolls her eyes at me and walks out the room, which means to follow her.
I put on my shoes and I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After I go into our living room, where there's a plate sitting on the coffee table. That means my dad had went back to bed. He must have had a long night. I sit on the couch and grab my plate. There was bacon, cheese eggs, sausage, toast and mixed fruit. Sheila hops up next to me and gives me the look. Which means I'm obligated to feed her half. So I ate the eggs and fruit and bacon. I gave her sausage.
I check my phone for the time. It was 7:45, I didn't have to be to school till 9 but I had prior obligations to handle before hand. I grabbed my keys, black cross bag, and skate board.
Sheila walks up behind me. I crouch down and kiss her forehead and rub behind her ears.
"I'll see you later ok love, we'll for a night run. We're getting a new shipment tonight so I'll need your help."
She nods her head. So i kiss her again and get up and I'm out the door.
