In Nyx's bedroom. It was a small room in the attic. There was only space for a bed and a shelf. The ceiling was slanted and low. Nyx got this room after her mother left. She had tried to make it as much like her mother's old room as possible.
Nyx was lying on the bed sleeping with a frown in her face. Her face was twitching and after a minute, she awoke with a start an hit her head on the ceiling.
Nyx

Nyx

She suddenly heard banging on the door

Mr Johnson

Nyx

Nyx walked opened her door and pushing through the twins, she went into the bathroom.
She looked into the mirror and gasped.
She looked at herself and she saw she was five again. Her hair was braided in two which was her mother's favourite hairstyle for her.
She saw a dark night sky behind her. The sky that had given her the name she used.
Nyx
*whispering* Nyx, not Nicole. Nyx, the Greek word for night. Night, the time my mother left. The time my mother left, the reason my name is now Nyx 🥺
She took a shower and got ready to meet her friends.
Wearing a dark hoodie with her hair down, she looked back at the mirror before leaving the bathroom and went down to find her father.
