asdaThe shrill tone of Valentina's old fashioned blue alarm clock snapped her out of a pleasant dream. Quickly forgetting what her dream consisted of, she flung her arm over to the bedside table that the alarm clock sat on. Feeling around for the familiar shaped objects, Valentina found it quickly and turned it off. Retracting her arm away from the clock, she rubbed her face gently and sat up. Her dyed blondish-white hair was tossed around, presumably from her restless sleeping habits, and her dull green eyes only slightly opened. She pulled her pajama sleeves over her chilled hands as she left her warm comfy bed. Moving around the room aimlessly for a minute, she beelined to the bathroom, quickly striping her clothes off and turning on the hot water and stepping in. She washed her hair and face gently before exiting and wrapping up in a towel.
Walking to her large vanity she sat down in the chair and opened the curtain next to the desk to give the room some light. Doing her casual face of makeup, which consisted of warm opaque eyeshadow paired with light blush and a glossy lip, only took around 15 minutes. Moving away from the Vanity, she grabbed an outfit out of her dresser and dressed herself. High-waisted mom jeans paired with a white crop top and a blue and green windbreaker is what Valentina would be sporting that day. Grabbing her phone she shoved it in the book bag that sat next to the door of her room. She slung the bag over her shoulder and left the room, as she made her way to the stairs a figure stood at the top of the stairs blocking her way. It was her brother, Callum, she stuck her tongue out at him before pushing him aside and going down the stairs quickly.
As she made her way to the kitchen there were two voices telling her ‘Good Morning’. ”Morning” she said in a tired voice, she was nothing in the morning without her tea. Yes thats right, instead of drinking coffee Valentina has tea instead. Knowing her morning routine, Valentina’s parents already had her Green Tea ready to go. ”Love you” She called out to them as she grabbed the mug of tea and rushed out the door. Only living a couple minutes for North Shore, Valentina decided to walk to school, she would only really take her car if it was raining. She could see a couple people entering the school as she neared the building. Valentina walked into the school, glancing at the small number of people that had gotten to the school so early in the morning. She moved lazily down the hall, sipping her tea and waving at a couple people she knew as they passed.
Having nothing important to do, Valentina decided it was probably time she should get to her first class of the day, math. Valentina was not particularly good at math, but she studied and practiced enough to get at least an A- in the class, for her education was extremely important to her. Glancing at her phone as she walked down the hall which was slowly filling up with students, she pulled her a picture of mathematical equations that she had been working on memorizing for a week. Repeating them in her head as she walked, she hardly noticed anyone else in the classroom when she entered. It wasn’t until the faint sound of jazz music pulled her away form her phone that she noticed the somewhat tall, lanky boy doing problems on the white board at the front of the class. She watched him write for a moment, before turning her attention back to her own work of memorizing. It wasn’t the easiest way to learn math, but it was how Valentina was able to get thought it for the first three years of high school. She silently mouthed the equations that she read, getting tripped up by the subtle music in the background.
Normally when Valentina studied, the room would be silent. Except for her own noises she would sometimes make, such as tapping on the desk quickly as her brain would speed up, a slight hum and at some times even a clicking of the tongue would help her study her school subjects. Now though, she was conscious of another person in the room, thus leaving her to intentionally block out the annoying study habits and remain silent.
