Waking up at Home
1 warmth of sun on my check
2 leftover paella from last night after I forgot to wash my teeth
3 freshly blossomed Begonia and honey suckle
4 sprinklers and crickets
5 tangled crispy sheets
Waking up at School
1 piggy against my neck
2 mint toothpaste residue
3 vanilla shampoo I spilt on my dressing gown
4 slow dripping from my tap
5 postcards from my mum over the years plastered on the walls
Walking though the market
1 weight of my bag against my hip
2 sweet papaya on my tongue
3 mixture of fresh watermelon and olives
4 bargaining voices of Majorcan, Catalan, Spanish, Italian and sometimes French
5 dappled light through overhead canvas attempting to create shade
Walking though the corridor
1 my bare feet on the unravelling carpeted floor
2 cherry flavoured lipbalm
3 freebrezz
4 off key singing from down the hall and the creek of the third floorboard
5 raindrops racing against the window pains
The art department
1 a scratched rough paintbrush between my index finger and thumb
2 leftover taste of bourbon biscuits from Nicky’s drawer
3 oil paints on Megan’s pallet and rain on sweaters
4 Nicky attempting to convince Sid to work
5 Moreen walking up the stairs passing Remi as he makes a sarcastic comment
