In These Woods

Exposure

"Girl! That song had better be a hit or I swear, I'm throwing hands with EVERYBODY on Twitter, Instagram, you name it!"

Sabrina chuckled to herself, spinning in her swivel chair. "Vicki dear, we've talked about this. I'm not trying to make a "hit." I'm making music that people can relate to and be inspired by. Something they can truly connect to. Not just your standard be-bopping, rainbows and glitter, drugs and sex, nonsense."

She could practically hear Vicki roll her eyes through the phone. "Yeah, yeah I know. But that's why I want more people to hear your work! It's truly different from most of the cliche' crap people promote now. Your music reaches the soul and sticks with it!" Vicki exclaimed.

"Uh huh. You're definitely not just saying that cause you're biased as my best friend or anything..." Sabrina replied, drawing it out for added emphasis.

"Whatever girl! Somebody's gotta hype all your hard work. So what can I say besides, "I volunteer as tribute!" Vicki shouted.

Sabrina moved the phone away from her ear. Albeit too late, as it rang for a few seconds before returning to normal. Placing it back she sighed loudly into the speaker. "I love you, boo. But I should get going soon. No rest for the wicked as they say."

"I know, hon. But you better promise me you'll eat something and sleep for at least a little while. Promise?" Vicki asked.

"I promise."

"Good. You also gotta promise to give Sierra a kiss for me."

"Got it."

"And you gotta listen to that group I've been telling you about."

Now it was Sabrina's turn to roll her eyes. "You're STILL on about that?"

"Oh you thought I was just gonna let that go!? Do you even KNOW me!?" Vicki exclaimed.

"I was hoping you would. I've already told you a million times, I don't like Kpop!" Sabrina said, spinning in another circle.

"Don't you always preach that people can change?"

"Oh no. Don't you da-"

"AND don't you always preach that you should try new things, even if people don't specifically agree with it...?" Vicki cut her off. Her tone shifting to a whine. 

"Yes bu-"

"SO...don't you think you're being a bit..you know...hypocritical?" 

"Are you done?"

"Are YOU?"

"Ok fine! I'll listen to BTS later while I'm working, ok!?" Sabrina finally caved.
