It's Only Gossip

28

Three month later, present day.

"Ugh." A wince releases from Aura as she attempts to bounce me off my bed.

Yes I mean bounce. She continuously jumps up and down on my beloved bed in desperate attempts to shatter my dedicated relationship with it. I won't surrender. Please Aura, let me just feel calm one last time. Let me sing One Last Time by Ariana Grande as I paint this beautiful fantasy of me being sleepy beauty before she meets the prince. Sad times on Aurora, that prince ruined something pretty special.

Okay I'm getting annoyed now. I'm no longer in my comfortable sleeping position because this ray of sunshine doesn't stop jumping on my beloved.

"What?" I scream louder than I imagined.

An exhausted smile slaps onto her face. She begins to talk but I'm too distracted to even listen. My thoughts keep on pecking my vision, causing a different scene to be animated in front of my eyes.
I see a hooded figure walking in the street, ever so casually. They even greet people every now and then but their emotions remain anonymous. There's something poking out of their pocket, something shiny. They don't even attempt to hide the shiny object as they slowly walk across the road passing a police officer. The police officer stops them, only to throw a friendly smile to make them feel safe. Did the hoody figure feel at ease? Did they feel safe? It's hard to guess.

"Levi!" A voice whispers and immediately the hooded figure disappears. "Hellllooo?"

I blink my eyes for one second which brings me back into reality. Aura impatiently grimacing at me blocks my view.

"Are you back?" She asks in a baby voice right before she slaps me on the head.

Instantly I jump back, "What?"

She face palms in disappointment but it's a second too soon when she begins to talk again.

"Elisa called." She waits for me to react but I don't. "She tells me you owe her a massive favour."

I scoff and roll my eyes. Aura raises an eyebrow at me but I just give her the don't even ask facial expression. If anything she owes me, big time.

A phone begins to play the song work by Rihanna. Aura dances towards the phone as well as mimicking the lyrics which I don't know, I wish I didn't witness that but I have been blessed with good eyesight. Sometimes I wonder how gifted those with bad eyesight are because whenever they don't feel like witnessing something they could simply not wear their glasses or contact lenses and enjoy the blur.

"You're blinding me!" Melodramatically I cover my eyes pretending she's a bright light shattering my vision into a blur, oh how I wish that could be true.

She smirks at me, "Hi baby, I missed you." She pouts at the phone.

"Hello beautiful, where have you been?" Her boyfriend's voice echoes from her phone.

Aura snaps her head in my direction making sure I see her wink. I take a huge breath and keep my eyes closed for a while. Don't leave it on speaker, the cheesiness hurts. I open my eyes to see that Aura placed her phone between her shoulder and cheeks as she prances across the room. When she realises that I've opened my eyes she motions her hand to stroke her hair.

Hairbrush. I look at the desk next to my bed and spot the hairbrush. Gently, I throw it to her and impressively she catches it with one hand.

I jog to the bathroom, a very short but tiring jog. A few moments later, Aura informs me that she'll be back late and I mumble in response. It's Saturday. Why wouldn't she be late? Why did she even tell me? Oh my. Er I don't want to know anything boyfriend related. It's their one month anniversary Aura's been exclaiming about yesterday. I'm not mature yet. I'm a vanilla type of girl, an untouched vanilla.
