One thing Kalmia had always admired in a person was self-confidence. Honestly, self confidence tended to be something that she leaned towards. People in general, or even other things. Kalmia simply enjoyed having the company of people who weren't insecure. Sure, she might be a little bit cautious about herself in the mirror; in front of other people, she attempted to spew self confidence since everyone would know that Kalmia A. Waxflower was indeed, the best person around. She would consider the notion for a while as she attempted to smudge on the lipstick that her Mother wore when she was younger. Her family had money, but her Mother had abandoned them in their tracks, taking nothing with her but a wad of money and a tube of red lipstick.
Honestly, the red was crumbly and Kalmia had to struggle to get the color on her lips. Her lips were already heavily saturated in the lipstick; and her Mother was a little bit iffed by the tube that was in Kalmia's hand, though her mother didn't emerge from her chair and bottle to contradict Kalmias motions. Her Mother just sat there, motionless, cigarette in hand. The paper bag propped up against her leg made Kalmia slam the lipstick down on the countertop and throw it into a small basket in the kitchen. Nodding to herself, she carefully slinked out the door, attempting not to irritate her Mother any further. Then, she might start to socially engage Kalmia in another round of "Gimme-another-cigarette. OR I'LL KILL YOU."
She carefully stepped to the porch, making sure that her steps were cautious and fleeting, something that her Mother had never cared to do. Especially when Kalmia was hiding in the bedroom, which her Mother found to be quite annoying. And with a smack of the porch, her Mother would parade away. Of course, usually these days were when the storms were in, and her Mother came back wet and drunk, making Kalmia force her Mother into the bath tub. Fabulous.
Blinking twice, Kalmia stepped off the steps onto the seam.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]
