Chapter six

When I woke up this morning the first thing I did was check if Chance had texted me and sure he did have. The first message was “Goodnight, see you tmrw <3” and the second was “Good morning, see you in school.” God, I love waking up to his silly texts in the morning. I sat up in my bed and took a deep breath. As I was doing that I could smell the toast my mom had made for breakfast. I heard the birds singing outside. It is such a peaceful thing to listen to in the morning. I love taking a deep breath in the morning and just breathing in the energy for the day.

A few minutes later I stood up and went to put on my uniform. To my surprise, I couldn't find it so I ran down to the basement where our laundry is to see if the uniform had been washed recently.

-No, no no no no noooooo! MOM!!!

-What is it, sweetheart?

-YOU PUT MY UNIFORM IN TOO HIGH HEAT, IT IS TWO SIZES TOO SMALL!!

-Oh, I'm so sorry sweetie, If you want I can call you in sick and order a new uniform.

My mom's voice got louder and louder the closer she got to me. I could hear her shoe klonk on the wooden planks as she walked over to me. She stood next to me in less than a minute and she then got her phone up to call the school and tell them what happened and why I couldn't come in today. This meant that I got a day without having to worry about school so I put on a cute outfit with a floral printed dress that had the base color of a dirty white. It was a little tight over my chest, as it hit my waist it got looser and was flowy. It also had a split down the side of one of the legs. The dress went all the way down to my ankles. I put a thick brown belt just over my waist and paired that up with a pair of brown boots and white socks that ended about five centimeters over the boots. The dress had spaghetti straps that were the same color as the base color of the dress. To finish it I put on a beige sunhat and a pair of sunglasses. My favorite necklace had just broken so I wanted to go down to town to get a new one. The local jewelry store had recently re-opened from summer break, it was perfect timing.

I went down to get some breakfast. I could smell the delicious smell of newly made toasts. It was almost like I ran up the stair from the laundry room into the kitchen. In just a matter of a few minutes, I sat by the table and had stuffed my mouth full. I could hear chattering behind me as I continued stuffing stuff in my mouth. I think that in less than 15 minutes I had eaten three to four toasts, some droves, and drank two full glasses with water. It was the most delicious thing I had eaten in days but I stopped as I felt my stomach aching from the fast consumption of food.

When I had put away everything from the table I went upstairs to brush my teeth and put my hair into a low ponytail. I decided to ditch the sunhat and put the sunglasses on top of my head instead. The dental floss tasted like bananas, I have always hated the taste of mint since it's such a strong taste therefore mom had always bought the banana-flavored dental floss instead. As a finishing touch, I put on some light makeup and took out a few pieces of hair strands from the loose ponytail so it framed my face a little more. Of course, I had to put on my favorite perfume, it has a flowery fragrance that combines perfectly with my natural fragrance.

When I had finished in the bathroom I said goodbye to mom, took my wallet, and went into town. Head mission was to find me a new necklace that I could wear whenever I wanted. It needed to be simple but beautiful. Since I, and most others if I can say so myself, think that I fit in gold the most that are what I am after. Maybe a butterfly would look nice? I guess I will see what I find the most beautiful when I enter the store. It is not too long of a walk to get to town from home so I decided to walk instead of having mom driving me. As I walked down the road I put my earphones in and started listening to the good old playlist that I have had for years now. The road led into a tiny forest where I could see all kinds of birds and trees and bushes. Inside the forest, I saw this tiny stream and a fox drinking from it. It looked so calm. Sometimes I wished that my life also could be that simple, just being able to do whatever the heck you want and not care about what others think. But no, of course, it can't be like that, I have responsibilities and soon I am needing to break up with Chance so that I can pick an alpha for the pack. I am the next heir but since I am a female I need to find myself a mate. What if I don't want to find a mate? Why would that hurt the pack, I am fully capable to take care of a pack on my own. I do not need a man for that. I was getting closer to town and could now see the little jewelry store in the corner. It was so mesmerizing to look at it from this view, almost like it was from a movie or something. I took a step into the little store and as the door opened you could hear the bell ringing to tell the owners you were there. And that's when I saw them. I almost could not believe my eyes, was this even real, or was I just dreaming? Please tell me I am dreaming! Please do not let this be real!
