All about us

Hanna

"Who's there?!" Izzy asked half shouted. She tiptoed her way to the entrance of the wet kitchen. Slowly turning the door knob, she perked through the counter to catch a glimpse of a human crouching, head covered with the hoody.

"Uhh this is so bothersome. You can go." By the sound of the soft yet cold voice, Izzy could know it was definitely a she. She relaxed and release a breath she didn't know she held.

"Who are you?" She asked now in a normal tone.

"Just someone that is not important." The girl replied still crouching on the ground.

"Well I don't care. Can you please stand up? This is kinda awkward." Izzy scratched her head.

"Well, guess you should just leave me alone here. Don't worry, it's me. I dropped the spoon. Stop being exaggerating." She snapped.

Izzy kept silent. She was a bit taken aback with the words. "W-well, care to share your name? Please? I'll leave you alone after that. Promise." She tried to persuade.

"Hanna. Now go." She stood up and turned around slowly to face Izzy. Izzy was staring at the floor, her grip to the door frame tighten after the sudden snap. Hanna just stood there staring at her, with her resting poker face.

"What are you waiting for?" She asked shoking the other girl. Izzy tilted her head up to meet the girl's face. She smiled lazily before whispering a faint 'sorry'. She turned back to the living room grabbing all her stuff and ran upstairs.

Hanna watched as the other girl rushed to go upstairs. She washed away the feeling of guilty and rinse her almost overcooked noodles.

...

Bella woke up to the sudden alarm coming from her phone, vibrating almost shaking the whole queen size bed. She groaned and took off her eye mask. Eyes still closed, she brushed her lion hair with her slender fingers.

Slowly she reached for her phone hidden on her bed and checked the time.

"Aish! It's only 4 a.m. I swear this brunette is seeking for death." She mumbled through gritted teeth. Well it was not the first time Irene ever set alarm on her phone. Setting to the earliest hour she could.

She smirked knowingly and let herself out of the comfortable duvet, stretching all her limbs before carelessly slipping in her furry slippers. Dragging her self out of the bedroom, she made her way in front of the baby pink door.

"Look who's gonna be late for class." Slowly turning the door knob, Bella peeked through the small gap and was greeted by the sight of a sleeping Irene on her bed. Eyes covered with rabbit design eye mask. Tiptoeing herself next to the girl, she picked up the charging phone on the night stand. Lucky the phone was unlocked, she swipe through the list of alarms Irene set and close them off.

"Sleep tight, sis." She whispered before running her way out and downstairs.

...

Izzy was slouching her back on one of the bean bags, turning it around to silently face the still dark city from the ceiling to floor windows. It was only half past four in the morning yet there were already cars passing by none stop, honking desperately not sparing other people who were still fast asleep.

"Izzy?" Izzy averted her gaze to the voice, squinting her eyes to get a clearer version of Bella climbing down the stairs, hair tied into a loose ponytail.

"Hey, good morning Bella," she answered half whispering. She turned back her attention to the outside world when she saw Bella making her way towards her.

"Why are you up so early?" She asked softly, voice full of concern and curiosity.

"I think I had enough sleep."

"Wow, I never knew the city could be this beautiful early in the morning." She stated crossing her arms while enjoying the view.

"Would you like some coffee?" Bella offered making her way to the pantry.

"Well, do you guys have a chocolate drink? Hot to be specific?" She asked cutely, eyes peeking through the bean bag, eight of her fingers rested on each side of her face.

Bella giggled while saying yes. "Are you sure you're 21 already? Or perhaps do you have a personality disorder early in the morning. Your voice was cuter than normal." She chuckled.

Izzy pout but laugh nonetheless. "I was a bit embarrassed to asked for a chocolate drink. I don't drink coffee to be honest."

"Oh, why? I mean, coffee smells and taste so good-especially when I made it-yeah." She smiled putting a spoon full of coffee bean into the coffee maker. She pulled out another mug and started to boil the milk.

"I can't drink coffee. I have allergy." She confessed.

"What will happen if you drink coffee?" Bella asked while her hands were busy making the two drinks at one time.

"I'll get a headache and I'll cough endlessly. It was the worst experience ever when my curious butt wanted to try something new." Izzy laughed. "I was 17 at that time. I never had a coffee again after that. My ma and pa were worried sick."

Bella hold the two cup with her hands and strided her way to sit next to Izzy, handing her the chocolate drink on the process.

"Thank you," Izzy thanked softly giving her the best smile.

"You're welcome."

Each of them sip their drink. Satisfied on the warmth flowing through their oesophagus down to their stomach radiating heat to each organ.

"Wow, this taste so good." Izzy praised sincerely. Bella blushed to the unexpected comment and pushed her shoulder slightly.

"It's not that good okay," she fought back trying to stay humble.

"Nu-uh, I swear this is the best hot chocolate drink I've ever had, apart from my mom's. But still, I love it. So much." She praised more and more.

"Alright alright. Thank you. That's very sweet of you. I'm flattered." Izzy grinned saying her you're welcome before the fell into a comfortable silence. Both enjoying each other's company despite the fact one of them woke up not in the right way.

"Can I know about Hanna?" Izzy suddenly asked breaking down the silence after a while.

"Hanna? You met her already?" Bella asked clearly surprised.

"Yeah."

"But I think she don't like me." Izzy whispered while smiling sadly.

"Oh dear, how can anyone not like you. You're likable." Bella spoke truthfully giving the other a sweet smile.

"Yeah but still. I don't want to have a bad relationship with anyone. Especially not when we're dormmate."

Bella patted Izzy's shoulder knowingly.

"I promise she will like you the way me and Irene like you."
