She hated mornings.
Every day was the same, monotonous routine--wake up, get ready for work at the diner, put up with all the sleazy truck drivers that came in, get off of work in the afternoon, then repeat the next day. At first she had enjoyed the blandness of it all, as she was never one for spontaneous things. She preferred to have that control over her life. But as she continued, it began to get tiring quickly, everything beginning to blur together. She had dreams: getting out of this small town--maybe even go to the city--find a better job, settle down and have a family. She didn't care about the order.
Anyways, Cosette doubted today would be any different from any other day. The ringing from her alarm woke her up as usual, having to put in some effort to lift her head up from the pillow and reach over to silence it, a sigh escaping her thin lips. She reluctantly threw off the covers and sat up, stretching her arms out above her head. She usually woke up early, just to give herself enough time to get ready, so she was in no hurry as she plucked her outfit from her closet and changed into it. With her clothes ready and her hair brushed, she made her way down the hall, knocking on her brother's door as she passed.
"Wake up, Bishop! It's time to go," she waited for a moment for his response before turning and heading into the kitchen. They swapped cooking responsibilities, and today it was her turn to cook breakfast. Picking out the eggs and milk from the fridge, she cracked four of the eggs into a bowl, then poured a generous amount of the milk in before mixing it. She transferred it over to the pan and while it was warming up, she stuck two slices of bread into the toaster.
Soon it was all ready, the blonde scooping up equal amounts of the scrambled eggs onto plates, then putting the pieces of toast off to the side. She set them down onto the table and grabbed forks, taking a seat to wait for her brother.
