getting ready

i wake up slowly, rubbing my eyes and stretch under the covers and let out a tiny sigh.

i'm hanging out with aria today!

i sit up slowly, stretch and get up and head to the bathroom." i call for my mom but it seems she already left for work.

i brush my teeth, and then head in the shower. i turn the water on and get undressed as it warms up. after i hop in and use my vanilla body wash. i love anything vanilla. it smells sweet and gentle. the warm water and quiet make me feel safe.

once i'm  out, i wrap up in my towel and pat myself dry. i put some lotion deodorant and underclothes on, before walking into my closet. i don't know what we're doing today so i'm just gonna go with something cozy.

i put on a soft blue hoodie with stars on it and some white sweatpants. i put on my bracelet with my name on it. and some socks then crocs.

after i'm done putting my clothes on i see my phone light up and i run to see who it is. aria!

"good morning, sleepyhead  you ready to hang out today?"

i giggle and sit on the edge of my bed before texting her back.

"yes! just got ready, do you wanna come here or should i meet you?"

she texts back fast.

"i'll come get you. did you eat breakfast or should we stop somewhere to eat?

"no. i'm not hungry. "

okay. i'll be there in 10 minutes.

i texted back  her a quick "okay" and hurried downstairs.
