I was in my room. The same old room I spent my days in- which wasn't bright, like the previous week. Or the week before it. Nobody pulled the curtains aside. I was awake but I didn't want to move. I kept thinking of that dream. How real it felt.
Suddenly, the door swung open. I tilted my head for a glimpse and heard someone sighed.
"So hopeless!" my sister stood at the edge of the door, "Do you know what time is it?"
She came close and knelt down to my bed.
"I am- tired!" I said, dragging my voice.
"Not my problem."
She looked around to figure out my room, only to pause her eyes on the wall opposite of mine.
"And why do you stay up late just to paint? You know you can't make it the next day. I've things to do, other than waking you up every morning!"
She pulled the pillow where my head lied. But I took that back to cover my ear and wrapped myself in a ball.
"Fine," she said, "I'll tell mom you aren't getting up. I'm sure you'd like a lecture from her and then be late on your way to school."
"Don't you dare!" I sat up straight without any delay; dragged my body to be still while my eyes were half-closed.
"Then get your ass off and come downstairs for breakfast right now." she said. "hopeless."
"I heard that."
She was already gone.
I pulled myself out of the bed. She had other things, called- I'M GONNA HASHTAG SOMETHING USELESS ALL DAY. But she was right. I didn't want another lecture from mom. I took a deep breath and glanced at the clock. It was just like a sugar cookie hanged on the wall right before my bed. It had a very convincing design- dated back to the 70s. Vintage but never stopped impressing me. Seeing it was already nine, I hurried to get dressed.
I came back to my room and moved the curtains aside in one strong motion. The light flooded in, expelling the remaining gloom. A chilling breeze swept my face with raindrops as soon as I opened the window. My glance shifted toward my phone lying gently on the bed.
-I hope you haven't backed up. Cause I've been standing here. For an hour!
It was Athena. I forgot about her in all that rush and felt a pang of funny guilt over my mind in an instant.
