The Girl's Long Day

January 17, 2023
By Anonymous

I eagerly leap like a lion out of bed and begin to get dressed. 

I put on my newest Converse sneakers and Lululemon shirt. 

I am a cool girl.


I jump outside into the scorching sun, burning off my skin, realizing it’s too hot for this outfit. 

I sprint back upstairs to switch from clothes to my bathing suit and head out again. 

I am a pool girl.


Happily tanning by my pool, my phone rings saying, “Hey, do you want to come over?”

My friend texts me but I am enjoying the pool too much so I leave it unread.

I am a cruel girl.


After I am done tanning, I grasp I am behind on my back to school August shopping. 

I drive to the local Staples to buy binders, books, and paper.

I am a school girl.


While searching every isle, looking for the coolest items to bring to school,

I see a glistening diamond ring that calls to me, left all alone so I decide to wear it.

I am a jewel girl.


Unfortunately, the owner of the ring, Nell, shrieks when realizing that it's missing.
I try to hide but she sees it on my finger, screaming at me saying I have a heart of coal.

I am a fool girl.
