Turning on the warm water, I cup my hands under the stream, splashing the water on my face a couple of times before grabbing the white towel to dab it off. I reach for my blue brush, combing through my long brownish-blond hair, opting to braid it today since it showed that rain might come later in the day. With the rain comes the wind, and the last thing I need is my hair getting in my eyes.
