Up on that rooftop

Contrast

"..." Amber gave me a disappointed look, "You really need your sleep, you know."

I gave a tired shrug as I closed my eyes, my arms rested on the desk before me, my head on top of my arms.

Evelin rolled her eyes, "I'm sure she's able to handle it." She always tried to talk back for me, which I appreciated right now. I was not in the mood for 'beef' or anything.

"Look at her." Amber gestures to my almost passed out self. "Does that look like handling it?"

Evelin opened her mouth, to then get slightly concerned herself, "To be fair..." She turned to me, "Maybe you do need your sleep, a tiny bit more."

Amber nodded in agreement before I mumbled I would.
"You will?" Amber asked surprised, "Good." She grinned at her victory in this argument.

Evelin smiled and told me, "How about we hang out this afternoon? You're always alone with that art stuff."

Looking up I glared, "That 'art stuff' is more important than my life, and I'm not alone while making it." I dropped my glare immediately, anxious thoughts kicking in. Why was I this stupid to say? They'd get worried. Oh no, I had to blame my tired self... I don't like sleep!

The two looked at me surprised, knowing I was the only two people I hung out with.
Bye bye secrets, I sighed before my friends started interrogation.

"Who?" Amber asked, "Do we know them?"

"I bet she's made an art friend!" Evelin guessed, "Who else would want to sit still for hours, while she does art stuff?"

"Wait—" Amber got an idea of what was going on, "You're not seeing her, are you?"

I shook my head silently, a small silence followed, they thought I might be lying by their doubtful looks.
"I'm not, it's some random person I met, they're nice." I mumbled.

Evelin let out a breath in relief, "Oh god, I almost thought I had to smack in that bitch's head." She admitted.

Amber rolled her eyes at the dramatic reaction before turning to me, "If there's anything you need to talk about, we're here for you, remember that?"
A smile smile forced its way up to my face, I had great friends if your think of it.

I nodded, knowing the subject wasn't the best. "I finished the whole thing." I changed the subject.

"The challenge?" Evelin got excited, "You gotta show us now!"

Amber nodded excitedly, but then shook her head with a frown, "I'm quite sure you need some sleep." She told me, "Staying awake isn't healthy."

Already half dozing off I mumbled a 'yeah' and fell right asleep.
"She took that to literal I think." I heard Evelin say before I was taken by the clutches of sleep.

Three days later I realised I hadn't really thought about Blue. In biology class, I don't know how, but in biology class I got the idea to draw something, using blue— the colour—only.
After school I sighed and got to work.
That night I ended up stepping up the stairs of my apartment building and up to the rooftop.

I didn't know why, but I had expected to see Blue. Of course he wasn't there.
With some tape I put the drawing on the pavement on the spot I usually sat to draw.
I ripped off the tape, there was no use for it to be there anymore. Smiling I crumbled the tape up, I had nailed the challenge!

Being the responsible person which I totally was (not at all) I went downstairs and got to bed earlier than usual so I could be wel enough rested to ace a test the next day.

The next day wasn't much special.
After the test I was done with school. Back at home I decided to check if the drawing was still there, which it wasn't. It probably got caught by the wind or something.
