I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I rolled over and grabbed it off the side table. "What?" I answered crabbily, not wanting to wake up. "Kaniya, guess what!" The other end replied. "Who is this?" I said. "Makayla, duh. Anyway, I found it!"
"Found what?"

"Who's the other one?"
"I'm not sure yet. I'd have to search more."

"What? Kaniya, it's almost noon."
I looked at the clock, and sure enough, it was 11:54. Apparently I slept in. "Okay, thanks, bye." I hung up and did a little happy dance.
