Stranger Girl

Night time Conversations

My body shot bolt upright, throwing the covers off me. My hands were all clamming and little sweat beats occasionally dripped off my forehead. The time was 2:06am. I told myself over and over "It was just a nightmare.....it was just a nightmare." I laid down and stared into the darkness. My mind was too restless meaning I couldn't sleep. I turned on the glistening amber light and gazed out the window for a while, watching the pearl glowing moon. Suddenly I heard a window crack open. I looked over to the house and there was the girl, clambering out onto the window ledge. She passed me a smile and said hey. I replied with "Hi, can't sleep?"

"Yes, I have been awake for ages." She emphasised.

"Ugh I hate that, my mind is too restless." I replied.

"Stop thinking too much then!" She giggled, her laugh was to die for...it was so cute.

"So, what's your name?" I questioned.

"Luna, I'm 15." Luna said shyly.

"I'm Tom, I'm 16" I said with a smile.

"Aww hey Tom, I used to know a Tom but that was a long time ago." Luna trailed off.

"So where and why did you move to Brighton?" I asked, trying to make conversation. Luna suddenly didn't look too comfortable and started fumbling around with her fingers.

"Now that's a long story..." Luna laughed awkwardly, averting her gaze away from me.

"I have all night." I said gently, trying not to force her.

"No, no. Erm I just don't want to talk about it. Sorry. Anyways, how long have you lived here?" We talked for a bit then we both went back inside and tried to sleep again. But I couldn't still because my mind was still restless, so I went downstairs to watch TV. I put on my favourite sitcom Miranda, and slumbered down into the sofa with a fleecy blanket and Nala at my side. That familiar low rumble in my stomach began and I felt so empty! Then I realised I hadn't eaten in ages. So I went to the kitchen to get some food. Me being me I made myself some pasta and then a slice of homemade chocolate cake. This may have been a tad bit much for 2:34 in the morning, but to be honest I didn't care. I laughed and giggled at Miranda whilst Nala slept at my side. Finally I finished my early morning meal and then laid down on the sofa and watched Miranda for longer. My eyes started slowly closing and I suddenly felt really tired. My body drifted into a natural sleep, and my mind was finally at rest.
