The light coming from under the door made me wonder why he was awake. Couldn't he sleep like me? Eh, only one way to find out.

Instead of getting a cup of water like planned, I started to walk down the corridor towards the room. I knocked softly when I was in front of it, hearing a faint ‘come in’ from the other side. I slowly opened the door, hoping to not make any noise. When I was inside, I closed the door and looked around. Masika's brother, Tooru, was putting up some sort of posters on his bedroom wall.

“Need something?” He asked, turning to look at me.

“Oh, um I saw light coming from under your door and I was just curious on why you where awake.” I said, looking around the room.

It was covered in alien, night sky, galaxy posters and quote posters. There where also LED lights around the room, set on the colour blue.

“Oh! I'm decorating my room. I don't like blank walls, so I  cover them in things I like.” He said, putting up another alien poster.

“I see. You like space stuff? And quotes?” I asked, looking at one.

The poster read: ' Poetry doesn't have to rhyme, it just has to touch someone's heart.'

“Yup! I'm obsessed with space and alien stuff. I also like writing quotes, so I make posters of them.” He explained.

“You write this stuff? It's pretty cool.” I said, turning to him.

“I know Iwa-chan. I'm working on one right now.” He mumbled, focusing on his computer screen.

“W-what did you call me?” I asked, eyes widened.

“Oh, it's just a silly nickname.” He said, laughing.

“Right, k. Anyways, let me read that.” I said, walking towards him.

He moved his chair to the side a bit and I looked at the screen.

Birds born in cages think freedom is a crime.’

“Damn, how do you come up with these?” I mumbled, re- reading it.

“I don't know, it just comes to me. It's my talent.” He said. “You should go back to bed, it's nearly 5am.”

“And so should you.” I said, moving back to the door.

“Exactly, goodnight.” He said, signalling to the door.

I sighed and left the room. I walked back to mine and Masika's room, and laid back down. For the rest of the night, all I could think about was Tooru, but why? Do I want to be friends with him? I mean, he is pretty cool, weird, but pretty cool. Ugh, I don't even know. All I know is, he is intriguing, for some reason.

“Iwa, wake up please.” A mufffled voice said, as my eyes slowly opened.

I groaned as my view became more clear. It was Masika. I smiled and sat up on the bed.

“Yeah?” I asked, yawning.

“I'm going shopping with my mum. My dad is at work. Do you want to come with us, or stay here?” She asked.

“I'll stay.” I said, leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on her lips.

“Alright, bye bye baby.” She said, waving as she walked out of the room.

I waved back and when the door closed, I looked at the window. Now, what the hell do I do with all my free time.
