Ari woke early in the morning, it was hard for her to sleep, but when she finally did drift off she began to have some pretty trippy dreams. She yawned and stretched, she wasn't in a hurry to go downstairs, it wasn't like her parents were back yet. They probably won't be back till lunch anyhow.
She swung her legs over the side of the bed, her feet resting on the plush carpet. She ignored how bright the room was and how covered in pink it was. She felt the bed shift and she looked over to see Cupcake's back facing her. She gave a soft smile before standing to observe how she looked in the mirror. Her red her was a tangled mess, her eyes had slight bags under them, no doubt from her sleepless night.
She eyed her body, poking at her belly and sides. She was a bit curvy, her hips and thighs were a little heavy on the fat deposits, along with her arms and stomach. Her torso wasn't big like her thighs and hips, it was actually kinda small. So she'd have to guess she had the pear body type. She wasn't self conscious though, she knew whatever she couldn't have in body she'd make up I personality.
Besides, she took after her mom, and while they may be above average weight slightly. They were, well at least her mom, pretty. Scratch that, her mom was beautiful, she didn't have that much confidence to say she was beautiful, just pretty on her good days.
She ran her fingers through her hair then sighed when they got tangled. She rolled her eyes and grabbed a brush and ran it through her hair. After brushing her hair she went to her bag to find some clothes to wear. She tossed her Harley jacket aside and grabbed a pair of pants and a random shirt. Looking them over a second she pulled them on after taking off her night clothes.
Brushing the cat hair from her shirt she grumbled.
"Not even my clothes 1000 miles away from home are safe." She huffed, starting to miss her cat now.
She grabbed her jacket and pulled it on along with a beanie to cover her ears. She wiggled her toes, realizing she forgot to put on her socks and shoes. She groaned and began to put those on as well. When she finally finished she stood and left the room. She carefully went down the stairs, she paused to look at her phone, which she had oh so smartly forgotten to grab last night.
"6:30, wow this is the earliest I've ever woken up." She mumbled.
She listened for any movement, when she didn't hear anything she figured everyone was asleep. She'd have to be quiet, she didn't want to wake anyone unnecessarily. After writing a note to her aunt and possibly her parents, she left the house to go on a walk, stuffing her hands in her jacket. She felt a lump in her jacket and reached inside, only to find a pair of gloves.
"Huh, I was wondering where they were when I was putting all my gear away. Oh well, I got something to keep my hands warm." She muttered as she walked to the park again.
She looked around, her eyes landing on a pond.
"Tempting, but I'd rather not see Death that way." She mumbled as she found somewhere to sit that wasn't covered in snow and frost.
She let out a loud sigh and groaned.
"Why me?! Of all the things I could have seen it was THAT! Why not Sasquatch?!" She grumbled staring up at the sky, snow starting to fall.
"I wonder if I'll see him again, even if he is scary as hell." She mused sitting up.
She always was interested in how the afterlife sorta worked. Her parents were sort of religious but she herself was on the fence. She was mostly agnostic, she didn't completely rule out anything. So asking Death himself could help her understand. How many people could say they talked with Death and not die?
She had a grin on her face.
"Well at least the world isn't as boring as I thought." She mused as she stood up and left the park.
She was itching to draw, and she didn't bring anything to draw in other than her tablet, and she really didn't want to go back and get that. So she decided to go to the store and get herself a notebook, pen, and pencils.
She walked along the sidewalk, mindful of the ice. At least this time she was smart enough to wear the shoes with grip on them.
Knock on wood because at that moment she slipped on ice. Her arms slung up, her legs kicked out from under her as she began to fall. She didn't even have time to yelp, she just silently kissed her ass goodbye. This was going to hurt.
She gasped as a very cold breeze hit her back, she felt wind push her up right as he feet found themselves back on the ground. She blinked quickly as she looked around.
"What the fuck?" She muttered looking around.
Did Death do that?
"This town is so weird." She groaned as she adjusted her glasses.
"I wish the wind was as helpful at home as it is here. The wind at home is brutal when I'm on the bike." She huffed as she began walking again, deciding to stay off the sidewalk.
She was extra careful when walking now, she sighed in relief as she walked into the store. She walked down the isles grabbing whatever she needed,and when she was done she checked out. She walked out of the store and carefully walked back to the park to her spot. She shivered.
"I feel like I'm being followed." She muttered before looking up only to see a group of teenage boys,they went around her as she discreetly eyed the one in the middle. Once they were a good distance away she whistled.
"Hot damn that guy was sexy." She said approvingly.
"If I was more confident I would lay out pick up lines. I have so many stored away." She mused
She snickered to herself as she sat back on her spot in the park and began to draw, humming to herself in a happy mood.
