Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. I let out a loud groan and slap my phone trying to find the snooze button, probably harder than I needed to. I tried my hardest to fall back into a peaceful slumber, but I was now wide awake. I pushed the covers back and climbed out of bed stomping my feet a little out of annoyance to the demon alarm on my phone.

As I passed my mirror, I frowned at my disgusting reflection. My eyes looked like I just got punched, due to the fact that I had huge purple bags under them. My hair, don't even get me started. It looked like a baby bird just took a long nap in it, only to get tangled in my long chestnut locks. Don't get me wrong, I love my hair, but in the morning it looks like I just woke up from death.



I stumble down the stairs. My eyes were still fuzzy from sleep, I'm surprised that I didn't fall and roll down the stairs instead. I walk into the kitchen to see my roommate, Christine, making us breakfast. I make my way over to her and smell the feast over her shoulder. Christine turned her head so fast to look at me that I got a decent sized chunk of her wavy brown hair in my mouth.

"GET YOUR HAIR OUT OF MY MOUTHHHH" I yell to her, trying to get her to help me move her hair.

"Sorry" she chuckles, trying to contain her laughter.

She knew that even the slightest things annoyed me, so she always tried to get me riled up. It's been this way for a long time.



Ever since we were in preschool, we were best friends. Growing up together in the small town of Doncaster, South Yorkshire was usually boring, but we made it fun. It's like we were connected at the hip, we did everything together. The funny part was, we never got tired of each other. Now that we're all grown up and done with school, we moved into an apartment. We decided to stay in Doncaster though, neither one of us wanted to leave home.

"Hellloooooo Earth to Brookeeee" I hear Christine say.

I snap back into reality, realizing I was staring into space thinking about our long journey together. It's been 21 years, but it only feels like a few.

"Sorry I was just... Thinking" I mumble. Mornings make me so irritated, but I try to put on a smile for her.

"So, what do you want to do today?" She asks as we start eating the lavish breakfast she made with a little bit of everything.

I already had a mouthful of toast and when I tried to answer it came out as "Mnjfjwjdbdowufridjdjckejod" and I accidentally spat some at her.

Oops.

"Brooke!" She nearly screamed as she tried to wipe my spit and crumbs off her.

Sorry" I said then I whispered "Not sorry".

"I heard that" she snapped, but I could tell that she was not really mad because we were practically sisters. She could never get mad at me. "So", she said, "what do you want to do today".



We both shared a look then exclaimed simultaneously "LAZY DAY!"

Chris took over and said "You pick out some movies and I will get the snacks" and ran to accumulate the junk food we were going to stuff our faces with. I took off towards the living room and started picking out movies.



I decided on Mean Girls, our all-time favorite, we can practically quote the whole movie. I also chose Toy Story, Love Actually, and 17 Again. I put them on the coffee table and jumped onto the couch, literally. By then, she had returned with a bounty of junk food: chips, candy, chocolate, Nutella, everything you could ever want. I scurried up to the DVD player, popped in the first movie, then took back my seat on the couch.

Just as I was about to hit play, I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I set the controller down to see who had sent to text, and as soon as I saw who it was from, my phone slipped out of my shaky hands.

Louis Tomlinson
