Billie's  POV

 Birds were chirping right outside my window and they were singing some lovely songs. I was totally exhausted and I just laid down for a while and listened to them. After a while, I stood up. The wooden floor creaked beneath me as I strolled over to the window. I stretched my arms right up before opening the curtains and opening the window. I closed my eyes as I inhaled the wonderful fresh air. The oxygen giving trees looked greener than ever. The birds that were flying high in the sky seemed to be calm. The flowers were of all sorts of colours. They represented the rainbow and looked tasty- like candy floss.

I have no clue as to why I thought of them being as exceptionally delicious as candy floss but they looked completely edible. The grass made me want to just grab a blanket, blanket it, arrange a picnic basket and just enjoy the day or myself- to say the least. The sky was cloudless and dazzling blue. The Sun's rays were quite sharp this morning and it was totally blinding. I thought to myself that it was better to become blind at that exact moment than having to write my final examination in two days. Yes, you've read correctly.

"My Final Examination". This gracious morning seemed so peaceful but it was evident that I've woken up to a really stressful morning.

 I made my bed up and made sure that there weren't any creases. I headed to the bathroom. While in there, I squeezed some toothpaste on my toothbrush before running some tap water over it and stuck it into my mouth. I then walked over into the shower and turned the faucet. I rinsed my mouth in the basin and placed my toothbrush in its place. I undressed immediately. After stepping into the shower, the water poured some form of relieving sensation all over my body.

The lukewarm water streamed down my face, around my neck, over my chest, down my back before travelling to my lower body and then, finally, to my toes. It tinkled my skin that seemed to be dehydrated from the long periods of studying. The water journeyed through my hair strands and it eased the stress that I've been experiencing.                             

 After the shower, I searched for some clothes in my drawers. I laid down a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. I was just about to allow the towel to slide off my body when a loud pound emerged from my door. I almost jumped out of my skin. I clutched the towel even tighter around me. She just barged in. Yes. She did. Her name's Drew and she's my best friend...

"ERR...so what part of knocking on someone's door do you not understand?" I asked her in anger. She just rolled her eyes and gave off a smile."Relax Billie...okay," she said with a grin. "How do you expect me to relax? My lecture starts in 40 minutes and I'd like to get ready in peace", I said to her as I folded my arms. She just stared at me blankly.

"You know... in privacy", I completed. She totally ignored me and this became obvious when she lifted the shopping bags that she brought in with her. "So please do not interrupt me", she began," and allow me to have a monologue. I've gone to shop for some clothing for us tonight. I've bought us Michael Jackson tickets and please be grateful for I've struggled my way into getting them. And I know that you're a fan of his and you were secretly a crazed one too. C'mon man. There'll be seats and all. It won't be crowded and dangerous like his other concerts. And you've studied for about a month for this exam and you know the textbook from the beginning to end. This could be a once in a life time chance. PPPPLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEEEEE".

She dragged the poor unfortunate word "please" on and on. I looked at her. I was undecided. I mean-the tickets weren't even backstage passes but like she said: "please be grateful". I looked at her in disgust because she clearly understood how important this exam was to me and pretended being oblivious. I gave her an "it's possible" smile before saying, "Let me see what you got me."
