Jealousy

For the first time in a while, Olivia found herself drawn out of the realm of sleep by the incessant buzzing of her alarm clock. She blinked her eyes tiredly to push away the residual weakness that threatened to lull her back to sleep. With the way she was feeling right now, it almost seemed too appealing to simply lie in bed all morning and just hide away from the rest of the world.

But hiding was not going to take care of her problems. There were a lot of things she still had to take care of, if she did not want her plans to blow up in her face. Taking a deep breath, Olivia drew herself up from her bed and went into the bathroom to get cleaned up. Then she checked her wardrobe to pick out something to wear, hoping that one of her numerous outfits would be just peppy enough to put more life into her today.
