Featuring Trent

I wake up in anticipation everyday, about an hour before Trent even opens the wardrobe door. I can hear him yawn as he gets out of bed, I hear him make breakfast, and then I nudge my twin as we giggle in excitement because he's about to PUT US ON!

Every morning, Trent takes us off at the same place; left stranded under who knows what. We... well, I, don't even know where I am. It's loud, busy, and the room is full of light. Not dull at all. I find it stressful here everyday, but one thing always stays the same. We hear the same people talking, and see the same people walking.
Today is not like all other days. Today, HE STEPPED IN DOG POO! I tried to warn him - didn't work obviously. I feel gross, ew, gross, and plain old discusting. I like to feel clean. I hope he never ever EVER stands in something that gross again. Just ew.

But now, it's relaxing time. BUT HE STEPPED IN POO!
