~The Silver Lining~
~Chapter One~
~Moonlight Sonata~
The sun shone brightly through the window and unto the slender figure of a female sleeping comfortably under the sheets. The girl, a teenager, slowly began to wake up. Stretching her arms in the air just as the sound of alarm buzzed. She lazily reached for her cellphone under her bed to turn off the alarm. 'It's the start of a new day,' she thought as she smiled, but still had her eyes closed.
Bridgette carefully sat in her bed and released a yawn that took off her sleepiness. The teen only wore a white nightdress without anything underneath but she soon took it off as she went to her bathroom and turned on the shower. Bridgette paused to stare at the mirror. Her face is covered by her dishelved, black hair and her eyes which are like two globes with two perfectly round black dots in the middle. She smiled again before entering the cool, drizzle of the morning shower.
After a few minutes, Bridgette stepped out of the shower and back into her bedroom. She opened her closet which housed different assortment of clothes, majority in black. From these, she took out a black blouse with a white ribbon at the chest and also a pair of ruffled skirt, also in black.
The excited teenager quickly went downstairs after getting dressed and was greeted by her mother, "Good morning Princess. Excited for your first day?"
Bridgette smiled back. She was already in fourth year high school but her mother still treats her like a kid, "Yes Mom. What do we have for breakfast?"
Before her mother can answer, the television blared out loudly. The channel is on the news and the reporter seems to be talking about a serious issue, "Just this morning, the burnt corpse of Mr. Maxwell Sanders, president of Maxwell Production Industry, was found still in his car just outside Plaza Miranda. Police have confirmed that this is murder due to the fact that his bodyguards were also found dead within the plaza. As of the moment, there is still no viable suspect…"
"Well, that just completed my morning," Bridgette said sarcastically while taking a soup that his mother have served her.
"News these days just show the horrible parts of life," Bridgette's mother replied. She grabbed the remote and switched into a different channel before sitting down next to her daughter. "Maybe this is just the reality. That our world today have gone so bad that they can't even show anything good on T.V. even if they wanted to."
Bridgette just smiled and continued to sip loudly. Her mother just watched the T.V. while still shaking her head in disappointment.
After eating, Bridgette took her black, rectangular sling bag and also her violin lying beside her bag. "Bye Mom!" Bridgette shouted as she left their house. She began to descend their front steps and headed towards their school which is only a few blocks away.
