Chapter 17 Tori

"Tori wake up, we'll be late!" Hands shook me awake and I rubbed my eyes but before I could see who had touched me they were gone.

I sat up halfway and saw someone dart into the bathroom and then the familiar sound of water running. I collapsed back on the bed and pressed my pillow over my face, grumbling in frustration. The first day of school and I didn't even want to get out of bed.

Ayalisse came running out of the bathroom and disappeared through the front door without even a glance at me.

I reluctantly crawled out of bed showering and changing my clothes.

I settled with a pair of dark mini-shorts and a white tank top that showed my stomach. The tank had golden buttons lining the arms and a wolf face in the middle. I slipped on a pair of 6 inch black heels and pulled on a blue denim jacket with grey sleeves and a grey hood finishing the outfit with a set of blue an silver bangles.

I was about to leave the room at 9:12 when I noticed the paint tins at the door. There was a deep purple colour and a light aqua that reminded me of Ayalisse's hair. There was another tin full of white paint and the last tin contained sky blue paint. I grinned shutting the dorm door again and picking up the blue tin and a paint brush, walking over to my wall and stared at it for a moment.

After a few minutes I picked up my iPod and blasted some music. After an hour I had almost finished painting my half of the room.

I didn't hear Ayalisse come into the room but when she plugged her iPod into some speakers and blasted her own music I jumped ripping my earphones out. I turned to see her painting her side of the room in the deep purple colour and laughed walking over to her.

"You're doing it wrong" I said and she startled flicking paint over the wall.
