It was a chilly morning. At a rather nippy 50 degrees outside, Cameron was not all too eager to get a start on the day. Her light eyes delicately fluttered open as she awoke. Her foot hung over the bed and out from under the covers as she moved about, hoping to be able to get some more sleep. However, these efforts to drift back into dreamland were quickly halted as she fell from the silk sheets, which she had brought with her from her family’s manor, and landed in a heap on the ground. "Ugh...." She moaned, hoping that no one had seen this less than graceful display.
“It’s barely into September...why is it so cold?” She shook her head and wiped her eyes clean of yesterday’s makeup, still relatively sprawled on the floor.
Cammy brought herself to her feet and wrapped herself in the comforter that she had pulled from her bed. She slowly made her way to the mirror, releasing her long hair from the bun that constricted it. She reached out one pale hand and grasped her eyeliner stick. She brought it to her eye and rubbed it furiously around the edges, careful to line her most prized possessions perfectly. After she was satisfied by her appearance, she flipped her hair once to give it body and turned away from the mirror. Shuffling once more, she made her way down the stairs that led to the girls rooms and into the common room, eager to sit by the fire for a few moments before heading back up the stairs to get dressed and then ultimately retrieve breakfast on this cold Saturday morning.
Miss Kingsley came to sit upon the cold leather sofa, suddenly glad that she had brought with her the comforter.
“It won’t be long until I have some company.” She said to herself as her eyes watched the newly blazing fire.
