“Annie, Annie, wake up.”
Someone was shoving me urgently in bed. I rolled over trying to get away from the intrusive hand.
“Ughh, stop, let me sleep.”
Suddenly my sheet was pulled off me. Cold air latched on to my skin. I pulled my eyes open.
“Get up Annie, you are going grocery shopping with Mark today”.
It was Becky. She smiled at me with an excited and malicious grin.
“You don’t want to miss your date with Mark do you?”
Becky grabbed my arm and pulled me out of bed. I had barely slept, lying awake until probably around 2, thinking about yesterday, the shame and the excitement, and what else humiliating Becky would make me do today. I groaned as someone pulled the blinds open.
“What time is it? It is still dark outside.”
“It is 5.30, we will leave for the grocery store at 8, but we need to get you ready. We want you to be nice and fresh for Mark.”
A yawn assaulted my body, forcing my mouth open in audible gasp.
