"AAGGGHHHHHHHH!" I hear a screaming next to my ear. I groan and turn the alarm on my phone off. Yes, my alarm is a screaming person. But only because I won't be able to wake up to anything quieter. I'm a deep sleeper. It's the weekend, so the only reason I'm waking up early is because I want to spend at least sixteen hours today binge-watching The Magicians and obsessing over it with Livvy. Wait... Why is my alarm on if it's the weekend? you ask. Oh, yeah. Because I'm an idiot and forgot to turn it off for the weekend.
I groan, use the bathroom, get dressed, and make my way downstairs to Livvy's kitchen. It's just me and her in her parents' apartment right now. I slept over at her house, and she fell asleep way after I did, so I've got to wait for her to wake up to eat lunch. She's lucky she doesn't wake up to alarms. I'm a light sleeper, unfortunately.
I make myself a bowl of cereal and sit at the huge window of her living room. Eating silently, staring out the window of the penthouse, I let my mind wander. I go over the list of words that sound nice to me. That sound peaceful and calm. Happiness. Soulmate. Shadow. Stone. Destroy. Rain. Flood. Whisper. Glass. Magic.
Beneath me, cars zoom in the pink-orange light of the ending sunrise, people going to work or home, or out with friends or out of town to visit family. People greet each other in front of shops and restaurants, in t-shirts and shorts, cardigans and jeans.
I sigh, picking up my finished bowl and carrying it to the sink, washing it and going back to Livvy's room to get the blanket I slept with. I go back downstairs and make myself a cocoon, curling up on her sofa and closing my eyes. Thinking... of school. Of home. Of dreams and nightmares. Books. Faeries. Magic. Whispered secrets.
I wrote Who are you? on my forearm yesterday and I guess whoever is on the other end of this connection doesn't care. Because I check my arm, and it's gone. Maybe I'm supposed to be alone.
Hello? I grab a pen from a nearby table and quickly write it down. At least tell me your name?
No, comes an almost instant response. A minute later, all the words are gone.
I almost forget about it when Livvy comes and we start binge-watching Netflix together.
Almost.
