I slowly opened my eye. My room was somewhat dark; only the outside light barely filling the room because my curtains were closed. I slowly got off my bed and tried blinking the slip away as I walked towards my blinds. I opened the curtains and let sunlight fill the room. I slowly squinted my eyes as I glanced outside, seeing people going about on their everyday adventures. I trail my eyes on my untidy dark bed. I'll do it later I thought as I left the room and headed towards the bathroom. Sleep still pulled on my eye lids as I turned the faucet and let cool water run through my fingers. I cupped my hands and splashed some water on my face. Feeling more aware, I grabbed a towel and wiped my face. I looked up at the mirror and saw myself looking straight at me. Sometimes, at night, I would have dreams that every time I looked in the mirror, I saw someone else staring back. Call me paranoid, but I'm always expecting someone else to appear in the mirror. I shook my head, realizing how stupid I'm sounding. I see me; Jesse Jackson, the one with tattoos basically everywhere, the one with lame chocolately hair, the one that's standing here right now. I smiled at myself and left the bathroom.
I walked towards my room to change. I opened my closet and grabbed what I first saw; a black and white plaid shirt with a ripped jean. I quickly threw on the clothes and headed downstairs; feeling a bit peckish. Before a reached the last step, I heard voices trailing out from the kitchen. The others are awake I realized as I stepped inside the room. My mind quickly registers what was happening at the moment. That guy, Kenneth, just stepped out the kitchen, but Magdalen and Emma are still in the room. "Morning everybody," I say with a tiny yawn. I opened up the fridge and looked inside; taking out an orange juice carton. I poured myself a glass and put the cartoon back. I took a swig and set the cup down. Looking in the fridge again, I grabbed some bread and took a slice, inserting the loaf in the toaster which was already heating up a bagel.
