Sair:
“Knock knock!”. I sighed when I heard her voice. The curtains were closed but I had a fairly good idea of who was outside there. “I know you can hear me!”.
“What do you want Dawn?”, I sighed, and put my coffee cup down at the side of my bed.
“What do you mean what do I want, what do you think?”. Her voice was muffled trough the glass, but she didn’t have to talk loud. I drew the curtains aside, leaning over my desk. There she was, grinning, and absolutely freezing. I opened my window slightly, killing the muffled sound when we talked.
“Dawn you promised not to do this to me”, I sighed. Dawn peeked into my room, and she saw the books spread out on my bedsheets. She frowned slightly at the sight, still jumping up and down to keep her warmth. “You can come in and help me if you like?”, I cooed, hoping she would say yes. Dawn’s face twisted in disgust, while mine sank since I knew that was the only reaction I would ever get for asking her to study.
“My exam’s not for another week and I’m planning on taking good advantage of that”, she smiled. I sighed, casting a glance over at the clock. It was already six.
“Well then, mine’s in two days, and I desperately need this time to read”. Dawn’s jumping stopped and her eyes turning from bantering to begging.
“Oh come on Sair! I know you still have your ticket! The bus goes in ten minutes we can still catch it if you hurry!”, she pleaded, putting her hands against the glass, and her forehead too. I cast another glance, at my books this time. God, I hated those books.
“I can’t...”, I whined, wanting her to turn my mind into saying that I could.
“Or course you can! Come on! I can’t go without you, so do this for me at least!”. Her pouting was almost annoying, but only because it was working and knew I would come with her. I sighed, and cast a third glance, a longing one this time. A glance at the ticket that was neatly placed against the picture of me and Dawn on the self. “You can’t say no Sair”, Dawn whispered theatrically against the glass. She’d done it, there was no way I could stay here.
“Fine”, I cried, already regretting my decision. Dawn was dancing and jumping outside my window when I closed it. I grabbed my ticket and all the books my hands could hold. Maybe I would be able to read through at least something on the bus. Just a desperate attempt to make me feel less guilty for leaving my future exam passing here in my room as I went off to the concert.
