i felt the sun hit my face through my bedroom window, slowly waking me from
my deep sleep, the scent of my sandalwood air freshener hitting my nostrils. i take a deep breath and look at the ceiling for a few moments, the big lesbian flag draped on my ceiling staring menacingly back at me.
i pushed the covers off myself yawning as i sat up slowly, grabbing my phone from my bedside table, and checking my notifications. i see several notifications from various social media apps like instagram and tiktok. i open instagram first and immediately see all the updates from @bellaramseydaily, because of course, its my trademark to be in love with bella ramsey at this point.

i quickly post a few pics of bella i found on pinterest on my spam account because why wouldn't i, it's a daily occurrence at this point.

i check my texts next, and see nothing which isn't much of a surprise, most of my friends are probably still asleep. i also quickly check tiktok and like some edits of bella ramsey on my private account before slowly getting out of bed and walking downstairs to the kitchen in my favorite sleep pants and my eras tour t shirt. i see my sister already sitting at the the table completely ready for the day, eating some lucky charms. she and i moved into a small vintage townhouse together just after college so we didn't end up living in our parents our entire lives. being a twin is pretty cool i guess. anyways, she's always been a better morning person than me, and honestly i woke up early today considering it's a somewhat slow week for me. oh right I totally lost my train of thought... i think, slapping myself in my mind. stupid ADHD. ANYWAYS, Bettys always been a better morning person that's what I was thinking about

"sup dingus" betty says to me without looking up from her phone.
"hey slut" i say, softly smiling and walking towards the fridge. i grab the milk from the fridge and set it on the island before walking to the pantry to grab my captain crunch, then walking to the cupboards and grabbing a bowl and spoon.

betty looks up from her phone at me, as i sit down and start to assemble my cereal
"how'd you sleep asshole" she asks
"oh wonderful i went to bed at 3 am because i rewatched catherine called birdy" i say, smiling and thinking about bella AGAIN
"you have a problem charlie" betty sets her phone on the table as she says it.
"says you your obsessed with Josh Hutcherson at least my crush is the same age as me" i say taunting her by sticking my tongue out of the corner of my mouth. she frowns and sticks her middle finger up at me. i finish making my cereal and start eating
"hey do you want to go to shopping with me in a few minutes here i want to go to target and sephora and grab some stuff."
"yeah of course sounds good im gonna go upstairs and get ready quick. when do you want to leave?"  i ask
"15-20 minutes ish but take your time if you need"
"cool i'll be quick" i say standing up. i grab my cereal and walk upstairs to do my makeup.

i sit down at my vanity and put on my go to natural makeup look, a bit of blush, highlighter, mascara, eyeliner, pinkish red lip stain and just to be safe i put on a touch of green eyeshadow. i love the look it honestly brings out my freckles

i also pick out a simple gold hoop for my septum and switch the old one for the new one

(the look) (pretend the person i casted for the role has a bunch of freckles lmaooo)
