It's the first day of my new school and here I am, up at 6 am with Arlo

I decided I want to straighten my hair that way all I have to do is brush it for like 3 days

School starts at 9 and lets out at 3:45. I don't know where any of my classes are but Mateo said he'll help me find them

It's his last year here and it's not fair cause he doesn't even get work except for math. He could've graduated last year but he wanted to take classes about careers and shit like that

Mostly stuff for his future

"Mommy's gonna have to leave you again soo baby" I say to Arlo who's laying down on my vanity

He meows but I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what I'm saying

Mateo is sleep on my bed because I told him yesterday that we had to go to sleep early and he said he would if I let him sleep with me so here we are

I only have on the lamp on my vanity and my mirror lights

It wouldn't matter anyways because he sleeps with his arm over his eyes

I put tons of heat protection oil in my hair and while I let it sit, I put make up over my hickeys

Mateo never stops when I tell him to, not that I actually want him to, so now everyday I have to cover up hickeys

Almost everyday

Once I'm done I section my hair off and and start brushing and straightening

"What time is it" Mateo groans

By this point I'm almost done with the back of my hair

I look at the clock and answer him "7 on the dot" he pulls the cover back over him turning to lay on his side

"Wake me up at 8" I nod my head even though he can't see me

I finish straightening my hair and it's 7:30

Since I took a shower when I first woke up, I still have my towel wrapped around my body

I stand up and sew how much my hair has grown. It's a couple of inches from my butt and I squeal in happiness

I walk over to my closet to get dressed. I always go simple on the first day of school, mostly because I want to be comfortable

I throw on my long sleeve white shirt with dark blue jeans and pair it with some long gray socks and my af1s

I sit back at my vanity and start doing my mascara

I finish with a smile, thank god it's not gonna be a bad day

I look at the clock after putting on lotion, perfume, and jewelry. It's 8:03

I walk I've to Mateo and shake him awake
