*Marlene is at school, waiting for her mother's car to arrive, it's Friday, and she dreads the day she has to go to the salon to straighten her hair. She tightly grasps a polka-dotted umbrella, as the rain patters against the damp grass.

one by one by one, the students leave, and Marlene's mother pulls up in her car. Marlene walks in and buckles up, not feeling that excited for the weekend ahead of her.

when the two get home, Marlene escapes to the bathroom, she painfully attempts to brush her tangled hair. She calls out to her mother, who detangels and combs her messy hair, somewhat ruined by the rain

After the short hair fixing, Marlene goes to her bedroom, cuddling up with a pillow and reading a book, the inviting hum of the lamp beside her eventually lull her to sleep

when she wakes up, the sun shines in her face, blinding her, after feeling around for the blinds to cover up the window, she walks off to eat breakfast
