Fortune Smiles

She woke with a start and turned her head to eye the clock. The red numbers soon registered. She groaned lightly and lifted hands to rub over her face. Attempting to rub away the sleepiness. A long deep sigh and she winced as the alarm started to go off. A hand slid over and swatted the clock to silence the annoying beeping. "Yes, I am awake!" Pulling back the covers she sat upright. Today she was going over to her mother's house. It was time and she knew she had to face it. Groaning she pushed to stand and went to the bathroom. A quick wash of face and brushing of teeth and she was deciding what to wear. Nothing too nice cause the dust and grime of the attic and basement would ruin her clothes.
