How it begins

You're a disgruntled teenage girl, carrying nothing, in your bedroom, which contains your stupid bed, posters, clothes, etc. You're tired of everything. You also see a flowerdy bag, a geode, and your makeup. You gotta rush and get ready before April gets here with her wheels, and this can finally be over.
