I Wake Up
Slowly, I open my eyes. As if looking through them for the first time, I gaze around my overly girlish room in wonder. How had I let myself sleep for so long? How had it come so far? I crawled out from under my heavy covers and walked to the nearest wall. My nails dug into the soft material on the border of the wallpaper and I pulled. The wallpaper came off without much difficulty and I was grateful. I looked down, turning my once- dull cerulean eyes on my bloody, cracked and stinging nails. I winced, that would hurt later. I picked up the phone, dialing the number for the furniture store. I waited for an answer. When it came, I ordered a new bed set and hung up. I soon found the number for the paint store, I ordered a multitude of different paints and colors before hanging up the phone. I brushed the stuff off my desk and pulled out my chair. Sitting down I propped my feet up on my desk and stretched out my arms. I flinched, my fingers already hurt. I shrugged it off once again and concentrated on everything but.
