IT WAS NIGHT IN BEVERLY HILLS, LOS ANGELES everyone sound asleep in the comfort of their of their homes. Except for Emberly. Inside the cream white colored walls of her bedroom, she was just walking out of the bathroom after taking her shower and getting dressed in a tee shirt and some shorts. 

She slowly strolled over towards her bed, flipping back the covers and getting into the bed and turning towards the nightstand beside her bed grabbing the textbook. She adjusted herself getting comfortable against the pillows, and once to her liking she opened up the book where she left off, a yellow highlighter being her bookmark.

Despite getting all good grades and knowing she would get a good score on the test she had coming up soon at school, she still decided to study again making sure all the information was soaked into her brain. 

If there was something she should have been worried about, it was about the lack of sleep she was going to get. It was almost close to midnight and most of the time she would have been asleep by now but there was a little thing called insomnia and it liked to hit her at times. 

It's not like she didn't mind. She was very much a night owl who enjoyed being up late at night enjoying the peacefulness and quietness that came from it. It was very comforting. 

Right as she began to re-read over the last highlighted text her phone had begun to ring from its place on the white wooden nightstand beside her bed. Knowing it could only be one person calling her this late, she moved the textbook off her lap and reached over and pulled her phone off the charger. A small faint smile came to her face, looking at the called ID, seeing the video call come from one of her friends, Spencer.

Spencer was her very close childhood friend, all the way back from when they were in diapers together. They had naturally become friends since their mom's were friends too. It only made sense that their children also became friends too. 

Although ever since Emberly had moved from Crenshaw to Beverly when she was little, the two hadn't seen each other very often as they liked. When she had moved when she was little they were able to see each other every week or so but that had changed as they grew older. Football, girls became Spencer's attention and school was her's, well both of them. However, despite both of their busy daily lives they still made it a priority to call each other at least once a day, or whenever they had a free moment. 

She accepted the call, waiting for a few seconds for the video to load and then Spencer's face was shown.

"Though I am greatly happy for this call, why aren't you sleeping?" Emberly spoke first. 

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Spencer asked back. "I thought you would be asleep by now." 

"Well, I would but studying is a requirement if I want to pass my test." Emberly says flipping her camera around to her textbook that was beside her and then flipping it back to herself. She observed Spencer's screen. It was a little dark nothing but the light from outside shining through his curtains making his face visible. He was shirtless, lying against the headboard of his bed, most likely getting ready for bed.
