"EVERYONE knows I'm in over my head, over my head, with eight seconds left in overtime, she's on your mind, she's on your…mind." A girl with dark brown chest length hair and dark green eyes sang as she walked around her house, her brothers gone. She smiled to herself as the rock music kept playing. She occasionally bounced her feet to the beat and rhythm, while carrying a black and purple hairbrush along in her tangled bed head.
She walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge, to produce a small bottle of water and the medicine cabinet just a couple of feet across the fridge. Her purple long length tank top reached up slightly with her arm as she stood on her tip-toes, reaching into the medicine cabinet for her 'special' painkiller. By god, she HATED morning period cramps. Her long pale legs were straining to reach without the help of a step-ladder. They made her feel short, she was perfectly happy with her 5 foot 7 thank you very much.
She finally reached up and grabbed the orange prescription bottle that was labeled 'Mercer, Sydney Nichole'. She shook out two pills and quickly shoved them in her mouth and a slight sip of water. The pain killers were both to cease any pain caused to her, but also to help her maintain her powers, because they could get out of control at times when she forgot to take her medicine. She put the lid back on the neon mini-bottle and put it on the 1st shelf of the med cabinet. Her brothers always purposely put it on the 2nd shelf, where it would be just out of her reach without a step-stool.
Exiting the kitchen, her mind began to wander to all of her childhood friends. Alex Davis….hold on, there's someone else…shit, there isn't. Well, that sucks. Sydney thought as she walked to the stereo in the living room which had promptly switched to 'Lie Baby, Lie!' by Three Feet Smaller. Sydney was always a music freak and her brothers and Alex Davis knew it. Sydney had made a mix of songs and burned them to a CD, which said CD was in the stereo, playing her favorite songs now. She pressed the forward button, making the CD's song skip ahead to the next song in line. 'Seduction' by Alesana came on.
Sydney walked back to her room, still listening to the frighteningly loud music. She smiled as she plopped on her bed and started thinking about Alex. Her one friend at school that didn't make fun of her by her height and weight. As a kid, Sydney was pretty thin, and pretty tall, too. She hadn't grown an inch since 8th grade, so what was the big deal? She looked to the clock longingly. "And here's about the time for lunch." She said as the clock turned to 12:29. Her stomach growled loudly, demanding to be fed. "Alright, shut up and I'll get ya something." She said, raising herself and looking at her mid-section. "Do you remember me and our beautiful affair? Look in my eyes and honestly tell me our love is gone!" She said as she pulled out a bowl out of another above cabinet and a box of cereal from a bottom cabinet.
After making her quick breakfast, she popped into her room. Sure, she could appear anywhere on the ground, but she could also appear on the ceiling and walls, but she sometimes had to keep in mind that she had a bit of a passenger. She sat on her bed cross-legged and turned on her TV with a remote on her dark wood nightstand. '1000 ways to die' was on MTV, and she definitely wouldn't object to this hilariousness.
After the end of the 30 minutes of funniness and education (At the same time, who knew!?), she brought her bowl to the kitchen and put it gently in the empty sink. 'Lie Baby, Lie!' had come on once again and she sang along. "I'm sorry, baby! You believed in everything I said, just come up with a lie! And you'll see that it's alright." She sang to the gruff voice blaring from the speakers. She looked at the time on the stove. "Well, it's pants time!" She chimed, promptly skipping back to her room in only her tank top. She got to her dresser and leaned down to the bottom of the three drawers and swiftly pulled out a pair of black short shorts and shut it. She got to the middle drawer and grabbed a dark blue form fitting tank top with laces.
After getting dressed, Bones (Her golden retriever) started barking and howling, but not with the music. Bones WAS NOT tone deaf. Sydney walked to the door calmly and immediately saw what Bones' distress was about.
