(Sorry I've prolonged this for so long, I'm terrible at first posts, I can't find my laptop so I'm on my phone, & I've had school. Please bear with me! <3 )
Elleigh King
"Slight work, it's light work.
The wrong drink, the right work."
Elleigh slid her phone alarm, Slight Work by Wale, to turn it off and hopped out of bed. For some reason, she was a morning person, whether she was running on an ample, or a meager amount of sleep. Today just happened to be the latter. Three hours of sleep, yet she was still smiling as she washed her face in the mirror. Grabbing her makeup bag, she put on a light foundation, concealer on the bags forming under her eyes, a matte powder, and a few coats of mascara. She had an hour to kill, so she walked down the stairs still in her pajamas and fuzzy bunny slippers to make breakfast.
"Fauna!" Elleigh called, and the little Bassett hound came running to her feet with a yip. She giggled and reached down to pet her on the head. Picking her up, she kissed Fauna's nose, and walked to the dog food cabinet. She put her puppy down to fill up her food and water bowls, then popped two pieces of bread into the toaster. Twenty minutes later, both were full from breakfast. Fauna followed Elleigh up the stairs, and hopped onto her bed as Elleigh walked back into her bathroom. She brushed her teeth, then put on a red tinted lip gloss. "Half an hour till school," she said to Fauna, and began to pick out her outfit.
About ten minutes later, a pile of clothes was on her bed, which Fauna had taken it upon herself to make her own bed, and Elleigh was dressed in a simple light pink skater dress with long sleeves and a lace print, and a pair of Vans. She left her brown and bright pink hair naturally wavy, grabbed her book bag, and stood in front of Fauna. "How do I look?" she asked the dog, and twirled around. The small Bassett hound gave her a look, almost as if to say, "All that trouble for this?". Elleigh laughed at her puppy, and kissed her head. "I'll see you later Fauna!" she chirped, and left the puppy on her bed as she left for her first day of freshman year of college.
A fifteen minute walk later, and Elleigh was pulling open the doors to her new college. Her bag was loaded with a few notebooks, pencils, her schedule, her phone, and two pictures; one of her holding Fauna when she first rescued her, and the other from when she first moved to New York from San Fransisco, holding up Fauna and kissing her cheek as Fauna stuck her tongue out. She planned on hanging them in her locker, if only she could find it first. As she was walking, she was looking down at her schedule, and she accidentally bumped into a boy. Her bag fell off her shoulder, and a notebook and the recent picture of her and Fauna tumbled out.
"I'm so sorry!" Elleigh squeaked, blushing because of her clumsiness. She bent down to pick her things up, but gazed up at the boy and blushed harder.
