Ava's bedroom was bathed in the soft morning light, creating a serene and cosy atmosphere. The gentle rays illuminated the room, casting a golden hue on the walls adorned with framed photographs and posters of her favourite bands and movies. The warm sunbeams danced on the floor, creating patterns of light and shadow.

As Ava sat up, her wavy hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing her face with a touch of dishevelled charm. She couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her chest as she realized that today was the day she had been eagerly anticipating.

With a yawn and a stretch, Ava swung her legs over the edge of the bed and planted her feet on the soft carpet. She took a moment to relish the stillness of the morning, savouring the tranquillity before the hustle and bustle of the day began.

The early morning breeze gently brushed against Ava's face as she stepped onto the balcony, embracing the panoramic view of the city coming to life. The cityscape spread out before her like a vast canvas, painted with the colours of sunrise. The first rays of sunlight bathed the skyscrapers in a soft, golden glow, giving them an ethereal quality.

With a sense of newfound control, Ava leaned against the balcony railing, the morning sun warming her face. She cradled a cigarette between her lips, her fingers poised in front of it. As if by magic, a small spark materialized at her command, gracefully igniting the tip of the cigarette. The golden glow of her power flickered in the air, and she took a moment to admire the delicate dance of light and smoke.

As she took a deep drag from the cigarette, the warm smoke filled her lungs, momentarily calming her racing thoughts. The golden light of her power continued to dance at her fingertips, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and excitement. She knew she had a lot to learn, but she was determined to explore the extent of her abilities and discover the true potential within her.

With a final drag, she extinguished the cigarette, the spark fading away. She took a moment to savour the quiet stillness of the morning before stepping back inside, ready to embrace the day.

She made her way to her kitchenette, deciding on a small strong black espresso instead of her usual creamy cappuccino due to time constraints. The rich aroma of the coffee filled the air as she poured herself a cup, and she took a moment to inhale the fragrance, feeling the warmth of the mug in her hands. With a swift sip, the bitter taste woke her senses, and she couldn't help but pull a face at its potency as she placed the empty mug in the sink.

Next, she headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. The warm water cascaded over her, soothing her body and mind. She let the worries and thoughts of the day ahead wash away, allowing herself to focus on the present moment. As the droplets ran down her skin, she felt a sense of renewal, and she emerged from the shower feeling invigorated.

After drying her hair, Ava carefully curled it to achieve the perfect wavy look. She applied just the right amount of makeup, accentuating her features with a touch of elegance. Ava wanted to make a good impression on her first day, especially since some of her future classmates might have seen the articles and photos from the gala. She didn't want to go from looking like a goddess at the gala to looking like she just rolled out of bed.

With the morning routine completed, Ava ventured into her walk-in wardrobe, ready to curate the perfect outfit for her first day at Midtown High School. She carefully picked out a thin, white wool Gucci sweater that exuded sophistication and comfort. Tucking it into a stylish beige checked Burberry skirt, she struck a perfect balance between chic and effortless.

Opting for knee-high socks in a crisp white shade and a pair of classic black Mary Janes, Ava knew she had chosen the ideal ensemble to make a lasting impression. The outfit felt both mature and youthful, reflecting her vibrant personality and newfound confidence.
