Tell me a secret :)

I reread Blake's texts, contemplating what to answer to that. Doesn't he practically know all of my secrets by now?

'I don't have any!' I replied.

Blake's next text came almost immediately.

I know that's a lie ;)

I smirked. Sometimes it scared me to know that he knew me a little too well.

'I need to go to bed! You're going to be the cause of my sleep deprivation!'

I sent the text and sat my phone down on the nightstand. The sheets rustled as I turned on to my side. Dim lights from my alarm clock flashed in the corner of my eye.

I looked out the open window, staring at the starry night sky. The wind outside was calm as it poured into the window, the hot atmosphere masked with a cool breeze. The sound of tree frogs and crickets echoed in the distance creating a nighttime symphony.

My eyelids drooped as sleep started to take me.

'Vvv' the sound of my phone vibrating on the nightstand woke me enough for me to comprehend what was going on.

I turned the phone over so I could see the person who dared to startle me from my sleep.

"I thought I told you I was going to bed" I mumbled to myself when Blake's name popped up on the screen. Frustrated, I put my phone down without a second thought of replying.

Again the room was silent, again my eyelids drooped, and again my breathing became even. Sleepiness came back with little trouble and this time I was determined to get past stage one.

That was, until a slight un-rhythmic clink entered the equation.

I sat up so fast that I immediately became light headed. I propped myself up with my elbow while my other hand rested on my spinning head.

"What. In. the world-" I was cut short when a hard object flew through the window and hit me in the face followed by a distant 'crap' from outside.

"Ow!" I whisper/ screamed to myself as I lifted the smallish rock, up into the moonlight to get a better view. When I saw the size of the small boulder ( enter small exaggeration ) I flew out of my bed and over to the window, chucking the rock at the dark figure down below, hitting them square in the eye.

"Ow, what was that for?" Blake's exasperated voice echoed from below. I could see his large hand go up to nurse his eye.

"What was that for?" I called, "that was for throwing a rock into my window and hitting me in the face!"

There was a pause before Blake replied, "I figured it would be a cute cliché, ya know?"

"Yes, I know! But first off you throw pebbles not rocks and secondly you couldn't wait till later today to talk to me?"

I could hear Blake's low chuckle from below. "Man, you do need your sleep."

I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see me.

"Can I at least come in and stay on the floor or something?" Blake continued.

"No." I said shortly as I took a step back grabbing the window.

"Wait please? I'm sorry! I wont do it again!" Blake tried again.

"Still no." and with that I closed the window and pulled the curtains shut.
