I actually didn't fall asleep at all. I was just lying there for ages and then when I felt sleepy, Lili came in and told me with a lisp:
"The eclipthe ith upon uth! Let uth be thwift!!" To which I replied:
"Really? I mean...really?"
"What? You got a problem with me pretending I have a lisp and sounding like some over excited twilight fan before watching the movie Eclipse?"
"No it's just...why?"
"Just coz"
"Whatever"
"Come on, we better get going" The halls were silent...too silent...as of something might just...
"HEY JAYDEN!!" said Ellen, jumping out from a door.
"AAAAHHHHH!!" Lili and I say together, and sprint down the halls towards where the blossoming is meant to happen.
"Wait...guys? You still there?" She calls out after us even though we're practically already at where the blossoming is going to take place (the farms). When we get there I expect many people to be there. Instead there are just Arno, a few gardeners and a man with a capsule to collect the syrup in. I also expected it to be on a pedestal, showing its grandness. I was also quite wrong about this too, and found it just in one of the gardening patches all by itself. One thing that I was astounded by was that I thought it would have amazing colours, a gigantic size and just pure awesomeness. I was about ten centimetres tall, quite frail and look as though it's only just been planted. Lili tells me it's about to happen and I think that now it will bloom and show off its colours and amazing petals! Instead it just oozed out of where the flower should be. The man with the capsule collects it and then measures it.
"Wow! This is 7.26 millimetres more than last time!"
"Excellent" Arno says and then speaks to the gardeners.
"Wellth we better get moving or elth we shall get our but-th kicked!" Lili says to me.
"Your still doing that?"
"Yeah"
"Whatever"
We walk in silence together before she leave for her bedroom and I do the same. I walk a couple of hallways before and stop by my bedroom door to get my key out when I get grabbed from behind and thrown into a utility room.
