My soft cotton sheets sheltered my body from the soft breeze sneaking in through my window. My smooth, brown skin glided along the fabric and I mentally thanked myself for shaving last night.

My head was buried in the silk pillow cases that felt so smooth against my cheeks while the sun peeked in through my window. The curtains danced through the air as the soft wind decided to come into my household without an invitation. I opened my eyes just a bit to see the time on my clock, only for it to read 6:00 a.m. I mentally groaned since I didn't have the energy to make any noises and tiredly tumbled out of bed to army crawl to the bathroom.

I sighed heavily as I gripped my fingers onto the counter top and pulled myself up from the floor. I fluttered my eyes open just a bit more but it felt like lightning had struck me with what I saw in my reflection.

My hair was a complete mess along with some sleep marks on my arms. My face looked pale but I knew it was only from exhaustion - nothing a good shower wouldn't fix.

I yawned as I slipped off my large shirt and threw it in the hamper along with my panties. My eyes were drooped so I flung my hand around in every direction until it finally touched the shower handle. I turned it and once the water hit me, I almost slipped.

The water was cold but nonetheless, I continued bathing. The freezing liquid helped my body jolt up in liveliness and woke me up better than warm water could've.

After my shower, I walked across my bedroom to my walk-in closet with a towel wrapped around my body. I placed my outfit on the comforter of my bed and moisturized my body and let my hair air dry while I got ready for school. I slipped on my clothes and grabbed my white Nike shoes before grabbing my bag and heading downstairs with Soldier.

I sat down in my usual seat and gave Soldier the signal and he started eating immediately. I ate my breakfast calmly as I started thinking about the amount of notes I have to take to catch up in my classes. I've missed school for almost two weeks, and even though Principal Wilson said he had everything covered for me, I would still like to know what the fuck is going on in my classes.

There had been too much going on and if someone ever asked me what I went through, I'd simply say 'hell.' Even though I'm still going through that shit now, I've been squishing myself through the tightest crevices of disappointment just to get on the more calm side of life lately. I was just glad that problems as severe as Emerald probably won't happen again. I'll finally get a chance to breathe for a second.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and led Soldier into the garage. We hopped into my silver Audi RS9 and I sped off into the direction of the groomers.

After the explosion, Soldier still needed a deep cleansing bath because of the dirt and such that got stuck in his fur. Which meant that he probably wasn't going to come with me to school which was going to be a huge bummer. Soldier usually keeps me entertained during class whenever something pointless is going on and I like playing with his fur whenever I get bored. And plus, Soldier is just plain fun. If you were having a bad day you could see Soldier and then your whole mood just lifts up.
