"Jace!" She whispers loudly into my ear. "Wake up!"

        "Go to bed Annie! It's like 4 in the freaking morning!" I sleepily mumble. She giggles and ruffles my messy brown hair before sitting on my legs. She sighs, "actually, it's 6:17 so I'm only waking you up an hour and 13 minutes early." She lies back, her legs and head dancing off the sides of the bed. "And I'm bored." I move my legs out from underneath her.

        "Have you tried sleeping? I hear its great." I roll on my side. I am not a morning person. Annie is. She groans and goes to my closet.

        She wears a light silk nightgown that hangs just above her knee with spaghetti straps and bunching at her tiny little waist, tied in the back with her red ribbon. Its white of coarse with lace at the top and bottom.

        She flits into the closet and is out again in an instant clutching her favorite movie-Peter Pan. Shes probably seen it a dozen times. Annie loves movies. They didn't have many when she was alive, and shes fascinated by how real they look.

   "Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssse watch it with me Jace? Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssee?" She may be the only person on Earth who calls me Jace. "Theres just enough time before you have to go to school!"

I roll over, facing my window. Suddenly, she appears beside me, snuggled up like a little puppy. "C'mon, you know you cant say no." Annie bats her eyelashes. I groan because i know shes right. If Annie wants something, Annie gets it. Thats that. She kisses my cheek and i glare at her. She gets up and says "ill go make popcorn." Before she lightly pads out of my room. Another thing about Annie, she loves popcorn.

I groggily brush my teeth and put on some real clothes.
