Maeve

Everyone left leaving me alone to close up the shop,again. I hanged up my apron, removed my hair net and combed my fingers through my pitch black hair...with white edges, as Kiki already said.

This hair of mine used to attract the attention of a lot of bullies when I was in middle school and high school, but as soon as I moved to this town to start college, people just assumed it was hair dye because many girls my age were into dyes these days and used to do all kinds of colours.

I removed the rubber band from my wrist and used it to tie my already very sloppy hair into a ponytail. I switched of the lights in the whole room and took my overcoat from the entrance before locking the place up and slipping the keys in its very secret compartment, beneath the doormat.

From here to my home is about a 10 minute walk, so I never bother to order an Uber. Although today about 5 minutes through the journey, I felt a presence behind me...Just kidding, I actually heard multiple sets of footsteps behind me.

My footsteps doubled in speed as I tried to leave these people behind. When I was approximately 2 minutes to my house, one particular footstep seemed to also double as the person fought to try and get to me. And soon enough, a hand grabbed me by the shoulder and I screamed bloody murder as I fished my pepper spray out of my overcoat pocket and sprayed it in the person's eyes.

"Ow! shit ! what the hell?!" the person cursed and I confirmed by the baritone of the voice that it was a man. I took advantage of his temporary pain and ran all the way back home. I quickly locked the door behind me as soon as I climbed up the stairs to my bedroom but not before removing my overcoat hanging it on the coat rack. I whispered as took the steps one at a time,"That was close, they almost got me."

I went into my bedroom,took off my uniform and neatly folded it into my wardrobe before going to take a shower. I quickly finished and went into my walk in closet to get prepared for my night ahead. And by getting prepared, I meant get prepared to sleep to rest for my classes tomorrow. I sat in front of my dressing mirror and quietly observed myself. I took off the damp towel from my hair and lazily dried my hair. I got up to wear my pajamas when I was done and I took quite some time because of my generous behind and sides.

I huffed in frustration as I tied my hair in a simple bun and walked out of the closet to my bed. I pressed a button on my nightstand before falling on the bed and going lights-out. Not even bothering to cover myself with a blanket.
