somewhere in the midst of delilah and xochitls shared room, an alarm went off. the latter groaned in annoyance as she couldn't be bothered to get up and turn it off. "delilah!" the younger girl was too deep in sleep to hear the girl let alone respond. "dude, turn the alarm off" xochitl reached for a pillow and hurled it straight at her cousins head. delilah sat up in haste, rubbing her eyes as she desperately looked around for the source of her discomfort. 

"what's that noise?" she asked groggily, still clearly in a state of tiredness 

xochitl threw another pillow at her head "the alarm, now can you turn it off?"

"why me? you have the energy to peg a pillow but you can't push a button" delilah pulled the covers back over her head "do it yourself!"

the pair often fought like siblings, squabbling over the smallest things. their connection was deeper than most thought at first, and it was because the chose to spend almost every moment of their day together. 

"come on, get up" xochitl staunched towards delilah, grabbing her legs and dragging her down to the ground.

"xo! what the hell?" 

the girl crossed her arms with a smile and then skipped out of the room, calling back behind her "big day today"

with a sigh of annoyance delilah stood up, she walked over and silenced the still blaring alarm. she cursed under her breath as she took herself into the bathroom to get ready. with music blasting and the scorching hot water against her skin delilah allowed herself to let go and ignore the weights sitting on her shoulders. one would think being an actress made life easier, but in fact it made it worse.

deciding on a white button up and a navy pair of jeans, delilah headed downstairs to make herself a cup of coffee. she passed the notice board checking to see what their plan was "ugh your kidding? publicity pics?"

"you said you'd do them" xo stated

"yes im aware, i also said id do my homework but that didn't happen did it?"

the older girl gave her a look "they're too completely different things. and tonight before you do anything you're finishing that homework"

"but i have to run lines" delilah sulked, taking a sip of her hazelnut latte

"not my problem. should of thought of that before shouldn't you"

"my homework isn't your problem either" 

delilah rolled her eyes at xochitl, who slid the box of cornflakes at her. "it is when you beg for my help. if you don't like my feedback don't bother asking"

"yes mom, ok mom, i get it mom" a loaf of bread was flung at her head, a mimicking from xochitl on the other side of the island. "ok what was the point?"

"felt like it" xochitl shrugged before picking up her phone and walking out of the kitchen. delilah scoffed at her mood, generally xochitl was only on and off when something was bothering her. she put it off to there being a lot to do. 

delilah quickly finished her cornflakes, placing the empty bowl in the sink that future her would curse that she should've cleaned it up then and there. she pulled her phone out of her pocket and clicked on the contanct 'connie baby 🐻' the boy answered on the third ring.
