clinømania - excessive desire to stay in bed

EIGHT
________

nola groaned as she heard her phone's text tone blare. she attempted to go back to bed until it went off once more. and then again. she blindly reached around her bed until she found the scare object, before begrudgingly opening her eyes to see who it was.

the time read 10:03am.

ashley
hey
is there somewhere you can meet me?
it's early shit sorry

nola smiled slightly unlocking her phone and typing a reply lazily.

where?

nola climbed out of bed and walked to her closet. she peeled off her clothes before throwing on leggings and a lightly blue hoodie that most likely was her brothers.

park?

nola typed a quick okay before they agreed on a park. new york has many. she slipped on her black vans before she went to the living room. she noticed her brother passed out on the couch with a textbook on his chest. she placed a paper in the book as a bookmark before setting it on the table. he had been trying to he through collage to get a better job. since nola's mom was never around he took the initiative to raise esma and the what nola had left of her kid years.

she checked on esma finding her still asleep. she groaned knowing that when she slept in so late she was impossible to get to bed.

"c'mon sleepy head." she shook the five year old awake.

"hi posa." she said quietly, her blonde curls in a cute disarray. esma had called her posa, short for mariposa, which means butterfly. nola has always been a fairy for halloween, it just so happens that the wings were butterfly wings. esma gripped onto her older sibling and walked her to the kitchen, setting her down on the counter.

she got a bowl for cereal and grabbed the milk from the nearly empty fridge. she groaned when she realized there was probably not enough for one bowl. she walked to the sink pouring some water into it before grabbing the cereal, cheerios. for some reason that's all esma will eat. not any other kinds of cereal. just cheerios. she poured the milk into a bowl and handed it to be small girl.

"i had a dream about you." esma said in spanish with a mouthful of cereal.

"chew first bicho." nola scolded while putting away the milk and cereal.

"esma muttered a sorry before she swallowed and proceeded to tell nola of her dream about how they had a dog. and then got extremely frustrated when she couldn't remember the end. after ten minutes of trying to get her to finish the cereal, only half was eaten, they rest left to turn to mush in the bowl.

nola then proceeded to get her dressed and ready to drop off at ms. ebernathy's house for daycare. nola and lo always felt that she shouldn't stay cooped up in the apartment all day so they bulk up their money to pay for the daycare on weekends.

after walking esma to daycare she was running extremely late. she took out her phone sending a text to ashley telling her she was running late. once she reached the park she looked for the blue haired girl nervously.

her fears then set in. she began thinking if ashley had left or that she was never going to show up in the first place. or even if she was in the right park.

all worries were set aside when she spotted the girl at the edge of the park under a tree. nola nervously made her way over to ashley.

"hi." ashley smiled up at her.

"hey."
