The first
sensation she felt was the warmth that crept from her toes up through her and
into her heart as she slowly woke up. She lifted her eyelids waiting for the
light to pour in, but her tired eyes were met with only a soft grey light. She
was buried under the comforter. Slowly she lifted her arms and pushed the
blankets from her face looking up to the ceiling. The room was covered in a
soft morning light. Unlike the usual, this light was blue and grey without a
hint of yellow. It was not the dark of early morning, nor the brightness of the
sun peeking in through the windows. Rather it was the soft still light that
appeared briefly between the hours of 7:00 and 8:00. In a daze she shifted
forward and crawled across the bed to check her phone.
7:00am
You’ve got to be
kidding me. She groaned and crawled back, slipping back under the covers and
the warmth that immediately embraced her. The other girls were still asleep, so
she made sure not to make a sound. After ten minutes of starring at the
ceiling, her eyes wandered, eager for a new subject. They drifted along the
bright blue walls. Shifting her weight, she rolled onto her stomach, pushed the
curly mop that was her hair our of her eyes and beheld the beautiful scene. She
faced a large window that looked out onto the big back yard and the canal
beyond. In the corner of the window was a small dock that jutted into the clear
coldness. A boat rested on the bank beside the dock, waiting to used, reveling
in the fun it had the night before. This was the scene that she let her eyes
dance with until she finally fell asleep.
8:00am
Up again.
Quietly she made her way around Liss and Brittany’s sleeping forms, grabbed her
bible, and tiptoed downstairs. Still slightly dazed she drifted through the
living in a dream state, finally floating into the small, but beautifully
decorated kitchen. The cabinets, and counter tops were black, the wall a soft
yellow, and a precious island made of wood that had been stained off white. On
her other side was a small breakfast nook that contained a small table and
three chairs. She slipped into the chair that faced the window, curled up and
began reading her bible.
8:40am
To the floor and
hallways to stretch and workout.

Back to the nook
to do homework, eat breakfast, and talk to Katelynn’s mom.

Finally everyone
wakes up.
