I am Alyna Sparks

Good morning Life!

THE DAY I BECAME MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Good Morning Alyna" .. Goes the alarm..
Another perfect day of a perfect life. Uh yeah.. alarms are kind of irritating . Tch especially the day after Halloween party. Dude.  I'm telling you.. these manufacturing companies program these alarm clocks with special artificial intelligence so they can like increase their level of being annoying proportional to your level of tiredness. Believe you me.. They're rigged! Oh well , only if I could wake up without it.

I mean yeah Mom can wake me up too but. I'd rather wake up with an alarm than. .. you know what I mean right ? So,

"Well good morninggggg to you too alarm clock"
Alyna( ooh that's me) smacks the snooze button, smiling and rubbing my eyes. It had been a perfect Halloween party yesterday. Flung open the quilt and springs outa bed. Of course! I'm late for  college again!

Hop! .. and another, and BAM! I bumped my head right into the ceiling. Ouch! What just happened there? Did I just..ughh! I sat back on my bed rubbing my head. Wait! that's not my head. I realized I was still wearing the Kangaroo costume from last night's Halloween party.. Ok like don't even bother asking why a kangaroo, BECAUSE it was all I fuckin had... but I mean.. uhh! people ARE scared of kangaroos, too, right?

I tried taking it off but apparently, I couldn't. Like it was a part of me. Took me a while to digest that I can't take this costume off ever because .. well I don't know,  because the story says so. Anyway, I didn't know how long I had to bear with this being a if kangaroo stugf but,  if I have to be this forever I'm not letting my life fall into darkness over a costume. Challenge accepted!

I smiled again and hopped all the way to the washroom to get fresh.. THIS time lower hops. Ok now.. that was easier than I thought but .. how do we use the toilet with this thing? After a lot of research on angles and dynamics I decided to postpone it till I get to the woods.

Went to the sink and brushed all my 38 teeth (including 6 in the costume). Couldn't give people a chance to call me a dirty irresponsible kangaroo who doesn't even brush her teeth right?

So, I Washed my face and started hopping down the stairs for breakfast. I guess this was one thing I genuinely feel like I am impressed with about kangaroos. They can just hop down the stairs without getting tired. It's kinda cool.

"WHAT on EARTH! Stop for god's sake Alyna you're gonna break your.." my mom screamed trying to stop me from hopping down the stairs.

"Head?" TYSM I already did that" I cut her off abruptly, as I jumped straight from the last step to the table and settled my grumpy tail in a chair.

Mom gave me a weird look.

"The Halloween party is over. You can take this kangaroo suit off, Alyna, and stop acting like a kid! You're 23 already!"

My mom started this lecture as she served breakfast. Ok let's cut short her lecture since it started with the costume, went on to how messy my life is, and then to the deserts of the Sahara and the atrocities in WW2.

"Mama..."; I cut her again before it goes on to how NASA went to the moon- "even if you ask me for the 100th time I'll repeat the same thing- I CAN'T TAKE IT OFF.. I mean legit I CAN'T"

I lifted up the costume to show her it's permanent.

Ok I'm late- "Thanks for the delicious breakfast mama" I got up and hopped right out of the doors to the woods... to, you know. And then to university.

I was happily hopping around and ignoring people who were staring at me thinking I'm weird. What do they know about how fun it is to be a kangaroo? I hopped and turned towards the big iron gate of university but the gate keeper stopped me.

What? Haven't you seen a hot kangaroo before? I thought to myself as I got fierce. Then remembered he must be doing his duty. I'm the one wearing a costume. So, I showed him my student ID. He gave me a weird look and let me pass through.

La la la la! I hopped up to my friends proudly.

"Sup mates" I tried to copy the cartoon kangaroo from my favourite series.

"You Alyna?" Said Clarence.

"Are you high? " Added Martha.

They stared at me with curiosity.

"Well, you see" I began..

When I was dressing up for the party I chose kangaroo because I thought they were scary. But last night I realized they are like living beings too. When I was in the woods (didn't tell them why, though) I realized how hard a kangaroo's life must be. So, I've decided. Until every person in the university loves kangaroos, I'm wearing this costume.

Weird looks again.

"But that would take forever" Clarence replied still curious.

"Well, then. I'll wear this forever"

Problem solved! Well played Alyna! I said to myself as I hopped to my class followed by Clarence and Martha.

To my luck, teacher even let me sit at the back benches without asking me to come to the front.

Life isn't THAT hard if you know how to enjoy it!
