Rise and shine, sleepyhead.

The incessant beeping of a bedside alarm awoke Kali, who proceeded to let forth a lengthy yawn as she stretched her arms. Certainly, it was too early to be up, she felt, but alas the human necessity to work required her to do so. Reaching over to shut off the alarm, Kali stood up and began to mosey about the shared apartment to get ready for the day. Thankfully, she had prepared her work clothes the day before, so all that mattered was a quick shower (alongside other general hygiene issues), and before long she was ready to head out the door.

Walking down the stairs to the main floor of their apartment, Kali made her way to the kitchen for a quick bite to snack on for breakfast before she left. As she snatched an apple from a fruit basket, Kali noticed a note on the counter from her roommate, and proceeded to read it.

[color=a52a2a]"What? You couldn't just text me?"[/color] Kali scoffed to herself, taking a bite of her apple. Nonetheless, she didn't think much more of it, and grabbed her purse and coat to head outside to the city's subway.

Locking the door behind her, Kali descended the patio steps and began walking down the street. The city seemed bustling as always, with lots of people out and about as expected for the largest city within the United States of America. It made Kali glad she didn't drive or even owned a car; being stuck in traffic hell certainly sounded awful. Not that she could even afford a vehicle on a waitress' salary in the first place. It was already a struggle helping Liana with bills, so owning a car was completely out of the question.

As she rounded the corner to the subway entrance, an older man rushed past Kali, accidentally bumping into her in the process. Thankfully, neither of them were hurt, with the only "injury" being feelings of soured annoyance from Kali.

[color=a52a2a]"Hey! Watch where you're going!"[/color]

There was no reply. The man simply just kept running past nor even glanced back in her direction.

[color=a52a2a]"People these days..."[/color] Kali grumbled before continuing her way towards the train platform. She didn't want to be late for the train, but even more so late for work. Mr. Kamaal probably wouldn't like that, Kali could only figure.
