City Lights

Chapter 4

I woke up in a frenzy again.

I had another one of those.

Those dreadful nightmares.

It was the third time this month , they seemed to have been coming back a lot and they were always about the same thing except in different ways.

Always the same pain , only in new ways .

I sighed and looked at the clock.
It read 7:18 which meant I had 12 minutes to begin my routine ,which usually consisted of dragging myself up and splashing water on my face till I actually woke up .

Well , now that I WAS up , I wasn't going to let it go to a waste and hence decided to check if Anna was up .

Chances were , she was not .

There were very few common things between Anna and me , and one of them was that we both hated , like really really hated to wake up early .
We were not at all morning people.
I mean what is good about waking up early anyways ?

I jumped off the bed.
Quite literally though.

I ended up landing face first on my face.

I groaned.

Let's just say that the little dent on my face wasn't going to be pretty .

I managed to somehow successfully get off the floor but not before scowling at it .

Yes , I just scowled at the floor .

I grabbed the nearest shirt I could find , which happened to be a large captain America shirt , reaching half way to my knees and made my way to the living room , assuming that Anna had probably ended up falling asleep watching the television last night .

As expected , she was on the floor.
Her left leg resting on the couch and her right leg?
Well I couldn't find it.
Don't even ask , our living room was just such a mess .

After coming closer I realized Anna was drooling.
I snorted.
So much for her so called "beauty sleep".

I rolled my eyes and took a picture of her not so pretty face .

You never know when that might come in handy .

After standing there was less than 5 seconds , I decided that it was for the best that since I didn't receive much sleep , I wouldn't let Anna get much either .

I mean what were best friends for?
Right?

I rubbed my hands evilly and went towards our small kitchen , heading straight towards the refrigerator .

My plan wasn't to do anything special , just the classy case of whipped cream face mask and we'd be good .

Walking very softly , making sure not to wake Anna up.
Well, it wasn't as if even the gods could wake her up.
I mean c'mon , the girl slept like she was dead.

I started spraying whipped cream all over her face , starting from her eyebrows towards her nose then down her chin.

Well , she'd make a good Santa Claus for all we knew .

I smirked and took a few pics.

"Few" referring to a little more than 50 something.

After it'd been 2 minutes of just staring at her "pretty" face , I decided it was time to wake her up .
I searched up Rebecca black's "Friday" and played it at the highest possible volume.

As excepted , Anna woke up screaming for her life and started to splash her hands around , as if she was drowning.
The silent atmosphere was now filled with Anna screaming and me laughing like a maniac.

Oh man, I wish I had recorded that .

After trying to calm myself from laughing , I wiped the fake sweat off my brow and took a look at Anna , who was glaring at me hard .
And that was how I started laughing again.
And again.
It took me 5 minutes to realize that I had fallen on my ass , laughing at Anna , who was also laughing now .

It was the alarm clock that took both of us out of our laughing mania.

"Oh shit!"
We both cursed in unison and scrambled to our rooms , running as fast as we could .

Class was supposed to start at 8:30 but we had promised to meet up with Ari and Jane , our classmates.
We had promised to meet them for breakfast at the old diner , which was right across our college campus.

The place was called " The Retro Diner".
Ironically , the place was nowhere near retro. It was a normal food joint which served amazing pizza .
Nobody made it better than Mr. Collins. , the food joint's owner.

I ended up wearing a pair of ripped , black shorts and a black sleeveless shirt , which had a golden pattern on the neckline.
I paired it with a tan-ish colored jacket and my old black bag and decided to let my hair down , since it seemed to be in pretty good condition. I ran my fingers through them, not bothering to brush it since it always made it frizzy.

Quickly applying some eyeliner and mascara , I left the room hurriedly since it was already 7:50 and it was a nice 10 minutes walk to the diner.

Anna was waiting for me , sitting on the couch , smiling like an idiot at the phone.

My guess was it was Niall.
Well I hoped it was .

It seemed to me that Niall had somehow made Anna realize that relationships are meant to be serious and not just a matter of hookups and make outs.
Anna never made sense to me .
I mean how can you just be with someone for sex or good looks ?
The personality also matters.

I sighed .

No matter how many times I tried to tell her that , she just didn't agree .
She believed that all guys wanted sex so why not she could have some fun .

Anna looked up at me.
She looked as beautiful as ever .
Her blue eyes were shining brightly and her face was fully covered with a layer of makeup . The little scar on the top of her head was also concealed .
I didn't get it .
Why did she use makeup on her already beautiful face .
"We ready to leave ? " I asked.
"Umm , Renee ..."
"Yea?"
"Where are your shoes ?" She asked , her face holding an amused expression.
I looked down and groaned

Really?
How could I have forgotten to wear shoes

I heard Anna snort and she got up .
"Well , I'll be waiting downstairs , hurry up".
"Alright captain " I passed her a salute and she rolled her eyes at me.
I went over to my room and grabbed the black vans and quickly did the laces before joining her downstairs.
"...Yea , ill meet you later . Bye"
"Niall?" I asked.
"Yea , he's just so cute"
I rolled my eyes .
She found every other guy cute .

I don't really get how Anna and I managed to become friends .
She and I were complete opposites.
She was a total party animal , jumping at the chance of having crazy night outs whilst I preferred to hide in my room.
Or in the library .
She was both bold and confident, everything I wished I was .
We were Both a contradiction to the other .
It wasn't just our personality but also out looks .
She had blonde long straight blonde hair , blue-grey eyes and tanned skin which made her every guys fantasy whilst here I was, with light brown hair with golden ends , green eyes that seemed to have lost their shine and dead pale skin.
I looked like a vampire next to her .

Absolutely nothing was mutual.

Her voice broke my chain of thoughts and I looked over at her. "I really wonder , what is it , that your pretty little mind wanders off to. you're always just zoning out on me , I mean c'mon I'm pretty darned Interesting mate".
I shrugged .
"I don't have much idea but they ain't pretty"I said and looked ahead again.

"Y'no , your smile is pretty damned gorgeous . I swear to god, guys will drop dead at your feet if you just smile at them".
I looked at her as if she'd grown another head.

"Well , we don't want dead guys around us anyways now do we ?" I said and she snorted

Hey guys.
So yea , here's a long chapter for you
And I hope you guys enjoyed.
