A slice of sunlight cut through the blinds and caught her right in the eye. With an annoyed groan, Xhen rubbed her face and stretched her arms and legs; her back arched which earned her a satisfying crack. Yawning, the dark haired female slid off the bed and dragged her feet to the bathroom to wash up. After slipping into a fresh sundress, she made her way around the desk to her laptop to print off some copies of the posters she had made last night. They were advertising her availability as a dog sitter/walker and Xhen was planning to post them out around Darkwell on her way to the college. Awaiting the stack of ads, she fixed up an egg and munched away on an apple before gathering her things and heading out of the complex.
Aside from her dress, the mixed race girl wore a cheerful smile and a twinkle in her eye. She had just recently moved into the city and planned to explore it after her last period. For now, she was on the hunt for more jobs besides being a barista at the quaint little cafe down the block. As she walked, a brunette wizzed past her and almost got nipped by an oncoming vehicle. Clasping her hands over her mouth, she let out a surprised gasp before blinking in surprise, seeing that the lady was unfazed as she swooped into the diner across the street. Wow. That was close. Sighing in relief, she strolled into Tea Leaf Cafe and waved at Obachan, the elderly woman who owned the shop- also her boss.
"Why good morning Xhen! You look awfully cute today," Obachan croaked pleasantly as she served a customer some chai tea.
Xhen smiled and pinned an ad onto the board by the door. "Well, it was nice out so I decided to wear a dress," she replied with a bright grin. "Headed to class. I'll be in for work a little later ok? Bye!" Hurrying down the road, she waved down a taxi that brought her to UO just a few minutes away. Thanking the driver, she handed him her fee before maneuvering through the campus for her first class. It was English Composition I, a gen ed. Hooking her backpack onto her seat, she laid out her notebook and fished out her favorite pen to prepare for the lecture. Huffing contently, she sat down on the cushion and propped her chin up onto her hands. I sure hope someone responds to my ads.
