I used the season au from the_gay_pumpkin and added a few things, I'm sorry if it sucks compared to what you had in mind (which it probably does)

I woke up and stared at the ceiling for a while, not wanting to move. My bed was cozy, why would I want to move? Why could I possibly ever want to move? Why would I— ok yeah I had to get moving.

I sat up with a groan and got out of bed, walking over to the bathroom, thankful it was just one door and a few steps away.

I looked in the mirror and brushed the dead leaves out of my hair. Stupid leaves. I ran hot water over my hands and the frost melted away (stupid frost), leaving me almost passable as an elf of any season. Except for the blue eyes and freckles, signs of my stupid hybridyness, or whatever the word is. Hybridity? Hybridian? I'll google it later.

New leaves popped up in my hair and frost grew across my fingers again. I'm too much of an emotional person to keep them away for long, which basically means I'm also too much of a freak to keep friends for very long.

I tied my hair back after brushing the leaves out again then brushed my teeth, swallowed my pills and went back to my room to get dressed.

Technically it was 4 AM and school only started at 8 (technically it started at 8:45 but I liked being early and had a whole schedule based around it) but I still wanted to be ready (I also had nothing better to do).

Once dressed I grabbed my laptop and loaded tumblr, cause why not? I wrote another part to my story (and then another. And then another and another and another and another) then clicked over to Netflix to binge some series or another. I'm aware there are better platforms to publish stories on than tumblr, platforms especially made for stories, but do I care? No, not really. Not really at all.

By around 6:45 I'd seen an the first season (I'd settled upon the politician). I was getting fully emotionally prepared for the second when my computer chimed twice in the space of a split second, which sounded weird, and I clicked the notifications.

Notification numero 1: Burr. Conversation went something like this:

Burrito: Hey do you want to catch the bus with Theo and I?

Me: yeah sure

Burrito: See you there.

God, this guy needs instructions on how to send texts.

Notification numero 2: tumblr. Ooo, a message. It's someone I don't know, which should probably raise my guard but I seriously need friends so I do a super quick scan over their profile and answered.

I waited for a few seconds and he answered my answer.

anelfwhodraws: Hey
autumnal-snow: Hey?
anelfwhodraws: I really like your story
autumnal-snow: Oh, thanks
anelfwhodraws: Would you mind if I were to illustrate some of the chapters and post them?
autumnal-snow: As long as you tag me, I'd love to see what you make
anelfwhodraws: Yeah, of course
autumnal-snow: :)
anelfwhodraws: Mind if I ask what your username means?
anelfwhodraws: Or is it just random?

Ah. Now here's the thing, it's a good sign that John (I looked over his profile) is trying to talk more, but it's a bad thing that he asked that question cause I don't know enough about him to judge if he'll go all 'omg you're an atrocity' on me. While I know strangers lie to each other around three times within the first ten minutes of meeting each other I'd still like to avoid it. So... I tell the truth?

autumnal-snow: It's probably the least random thing about my profile: I'm a fall-winter hybrid
anelfwhodraws: Really?

Uh oh I just lost the possibility of a friend.

autumnal-snow: Really
anelfwhodraws: Sorry, that probably sounded really judgy
autumnal-snow: Yeah, kinda
anelfwhodraws: It's just that my entire family's purebred and so are all my 'friends'
autumnal-snow: What season are you?
anelfwhodraws: Summer
autumnal-snow: Huh
autumnal-snow: Sorry, but you do realize that to keep the line purebred forever you're gonna have to start sleeping with your siblings, right?
anelfwhodraws: Oh I realize that
anelfwhodraws: My family doesn't seem to tho
autumnal-snow: I'm sure it'll hit them at some point
anelfwhodraws: Well I sure hope it does
autumnal-snow: If it doesn't something is really wrong
anelfwhodraws: *eyebrows raise*
autumnal-snow: *eyebrows raise*
anelfwhodrwas: Sorry, I gtg
anelfwhodraws: Byeeeeee
autumnal-snow: Byeeeeee

I reloaded my notifications a few more times then clicked back over to Netflix. I wasn't really in a Netflix mood though, and it was 7, so I had to go get my brother out of bed and out the door.

Well if we've done one thing it's get over our morning panic. Let's start today with the least anxiety possible.
