"good morning sweetie" i heard my mom whisper to me as i slowly rubbed my eyes upon waking up
                          
"good morning mama" i said back to her
                          
this was my last day of senior year, so i had to make it a good one. i walked over to my closet so i can pick my outfit of the day
                          
as i looked through my clothes, i realized that i really didn't have much that could fully portray the vibe i was going for. i was really hoping to be able to showcase the gay in me, so this was going to take some work

after looking through the pile of clothes in my room for a couple of minutes, i was finally able to find a tight red spaghetti strap shirt and some red lace that i could make do with
                          
i called my mom over to speak through what i planned on doing
                          
"hey, so i'm sorry to bother you, but could you sew these two things together if i prepare the pieces how i want them?" i asked while showing her the red top and lace
                          
"arya this is kinda last minute, but i'd anything for my baby. when do you want me to do it?"
                          
"well i actually need it done before school, so as soon as possible. it'll be ready to be sewed in five minutes"
                          
"sounds good. bring it to the sewing machine when you're ready" she told me
                          
i grabbed the pair of fabric scissors from my kit to crop the tank top. i wanted it to be around an inch above my belly button, so i held the shirt up to my body on the hanger and put my finger at the length i wanted it to be cropped. then, i laid it down on my desk and made a straight line across the shirt in sharpie, a bit below where my finger was marking
                          
i carefully cut the excess off and put it in the scrap pile for another project. next, with the lace, i measured around my abdomen and cut it to the length i need
                          
i laid the two pieces over at my mom's sewing machine, where she was already waiting for me
                          
"so i want this piece of lace to go all the way around the bottom of the shirt, but put it under the shirt, so you can't see where the lace joins please" i requested
                          
"alright, sounds easy enough" my mom responded

ten minutes later, while i was eating my bowl of fruit loops for breakfast, my mom came out with my shirt, completed, exactly how i imagined it
                          
"thank you so much, mom. it's honestly perfect"
                          
"i wouldn't say perfect, but you're welcome" she told me
                          
after i finished my breakfast, i stood up to get dressed for school

i picked out a pair of light weight ripped jeans and a white button-up that i would leave open with the red shirt underneath. i put my outfit together and just had to choose a pair of shoes now
                          
i have around forty pairs of shoes, so i'm hoping to go for a pair that i don't wear very often. i dug deep into the pile in my corner for a pair. the three that stood out to me were my black, white, and red air jordans, black doc martens, and my black air forces
                          
i think i want to choose the air jordans since they have all of the colors to match, my outfit, but i'm kind of worried that it'll be too much
                          
i decided i'll just try them all on and see what looks best, so i went one by one, critiquing how they looked on me. by far, the air jordans were definitely the right move. the others just weren't enough, but the bit of red in these, just pulled it all together somehow, in the most perfect way

i grabbed my keys and said bye to my mom so i can head to school
