Amity
The loud bussle of the city booms from anywhere you go. The lights so bright you’d think it’s morning. I fumble with my apartment keys before I finally opened the door and slid into the shelter of my tiny apartment. My messy, sholder length, black hair once pin stright- yet now frizzy from the heat combined the the rain from todays weather looked back at me from the mirror in the bathroom. I glared at the hair with my dark brown eyes at my hard work gone.
“Why cant you ever stay straight?” I complained to the mirror watching my frizzy hair with such an intensity you’d think I was trying to cast a magical spell. With a final huff of defeat I tossed my backpack into the corner next to the tv where it would stay until tomorrow until I would have to saunter off to my boring collage classes. I went into the bathroom and took off my makeup when my phone dung making me flinch so hard I almost fell over.
Mom: Amity. Respond. Now.
I glanced at the massage before turning my phone over so the screen was flat down on the counter. I tapped the back of my phone twice as if I was soothing a growling dog. Not today. I thought as I took off my clothes to take a nice, warm, relaxing shower. The only thing that atcually was good about my day. My body is average and I really don’t have the time or energy to be insecure about my body so i’m not. To be honest im happy with my body. I dont know why more girls aren’t happy with theirs but oh well.
After my shower I put on an oversized royal blue hoodie and black shorts before I went into the kitchen and made some instant noodles. I would atempt to make something better to eat but I suck at cooking and I’d probably burn anything I atempted to make.
Back into the bathroom I went to brush my teeth after I ate my ‘dinner’. Then crawled stright into bed settling in with a big huff of a sigh. I plugged my phone into the cord besides my bed before placing it face down on the night stand. It was already 11:00pm by the time I was settled in and I had the biggest temptation to doom scroll but held back as I curled up on my side and closed my eyes hoping that I’d fall asleep quickly. Unlcukily for me sleep avaided me until 2:00am when I finally drifted off to sleep.
