Week Four: Wednesday Who: Nat and Noah When: Late evening Where: Nat's room
Natalia really didn't remember much about her first full moon but she was almost positive that she hadn't felt like she was about to go stir crazy. Granted it probably had something to do with not knowing what was coming but still. Her nerves had been a wreck all week and they only seemed to get worse the closer she got to the big day. In class she found herself fidgeting and fighting to keep herself sitting still. Any knowing or concerned looks from Noah were waved off with a smile but there were a couple of points throughout the day where she thought she was going to lose it. Like she would just snap and start bouncing off the walls or something. Which is exactly why she had hit the beach as soon as classes were over. Too bad it didn't help.
After dinner, she decided that her best bet was to lock herself in her room and try to beat this thing. The web was surfed for a while but that didn't help. Next was some mind-numbing teen dramas on the television but again, didn't help. Another shower was taken, first hot and then cold, but again, didn't help. So really there was only one thing left to do. Since she felt like something was trying to crawl out of her skin, it was decided that less was more when it came to the pajama choice for the evening. Some blue booty shorts and a tank were chosen once she was dried off and as soon as her hair had been managed, she pulled out her yoga mat and got to centering.
It really took everything in her to focus on the words and soft music that were currently coming out of her stereo but it seemed to be paying off. Her body felt a little less tense as she went through the paces and her mind began to set itself at ease. Currently she was in the ever popular Downward-facing Dog position and gearing up for her next move. Just as she was extending her leg and assuming the Side Plank pose, there was a knock on the door and her best friend was crossing the threshold. "Oi mijo, what are you doing here?" she asked as she struggled to maintain her balance. "Uno momento por favor."
The pose was held for as long as the CD had instructed and rather than moving on, she pulled herself out of it and got to her feet. "What's up?"
