falling awake. [open]
As the last snip faded into the relative silence of her tiny apartment, Alice smiled at herself into the mirror. Granted, it had been rather a rash decision, and she didn't know how she would explain it to her parents when she went home (if she ever went home, but Alice didn't think like that) but for now, she felt as though it was the right thing to do.
Gone were the long, flowing blonde tresses, strands of hair all different lengths lying on the floor around Alice's feet. The effect, though, hadn't been too terrible. She tossed her new, shoulder-length hair and grinned at herself in the mirror. It just fit, with the odd new clothes that she was getting used to, with the City, with freedom. With being the Queen. She liked it. It was just the sort of change she needed.
Pulling on a sky-blue sweater over the white blouse and navy blue skirt she wore, Alice stuck her tongue out at her reflection and skipped down the stairs, out of her apartment and into the street. The City buzzed with a nervous sort of energy. She could feel it. It made her smile. Everything was the same, and yet, not. So with a new bounce in her step, Alice set off to discover what exactly made the City hum in that way.
