11:21 a.m

"Hey, wake up I've got something to tell you!"

Someone was shouting on the top of their lungs, as if the whole world depended on it.

"Let me sleep for 5 more minutes" I groaned.

Even though being oblivious to the scene going on out of my dreamland I couldn't compromise my sleep time.

"ARE YOU GOING NUTS ? THIS IS URGENT!"
She snapped.

She.. before I could comprehend any further, reality hit through my mind and I was quick awake just like those mummies in Egypt jolting up from their coffins after being awake.

I tilted my head towards the person to get a better view of her cute little face, her forehead covered with bangs which are never out of their place as if she has stick them with a glue. Her face which so wasn't looking cute anymore because of the color it has turned into. Bright red just like a tomato.

"What has gotten into you at this time in the morning?" I frowned.

She gave me a death stare before smacking my shoulder hard. I winced at the pain and couldn't take this anymore. I immediately got off my bed and stood before her, eye to eye.
"What the hell is your problem?"I asked angrily.

"DO YOU EVEN HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT YOU COULD'VE MISSED OUT IF IT WASN'T FOR ME?" She roared.

What is she talking about, I thought to myself.

"What?" I asked out of curiosity while rubbing my temples muzzingly. I thought for a good minute of something that I would give up on my beauty sleep for.
Then it hit me, one of my favourite tv series must be airing right now.

"OH MY JEEZ! I CAN'T MISS ANOTHER EPISODE" I squealed while bouncing like a child.

I quickly dashed out of my room pushing past her and sprinted towards the hallway. I jumped onto the sofa from behind, just like they do in movies. The sofa was placed right in front of the T.V, I reached my hand out to the side table to pick the remote and then turned the T.V on.

I was so pleased to finally get to watch the episode which I've been missing out for the last few weeks. It's not like I was always sleeping at the time when a new episode was coming up on T.V. But it was my hectic schedule because of which I couldn't watch the last few episodes.

But this time it was a win, I couldn't refrain myself from flapping my hands in the air in contentment. The blinding bright light of t.v gradually prevailed through the walls of hallway. I couldn't help smiling like a fool in excitement.

But not a moment too soon, when the T.V turned on, the Show which I was so anticipated for, for which I had compromised my sleep has been ended, just at that moment. I hung my head low in grief, and disappointment. Just at the moment, Lisa entered the hallway and stood beside the T.V. She had a sly smile plastered on her face which I was urging to wipe off with a blow.

"You did this on purpose.. right?" I gritted my teeth and balled my fist ready to attack her. My jaw was tightened and my face has turned into a bright red color which I had seen on lisa's face in my bedroom, few moments ago. It felt like a deja vu but the difference is that this time we both have switched our places. My head was firing up like a fireball just like those you might have seen in animes.

"Stupid. Who told you that your show is coming up you headass?" She chuckled and showed sass to me.

"WHAT ELSE DID YOU WAKE ME UP FOR?"

I shouted as loud as for her to hear it clearly and imprint these words in her mind. That for next time, waking me up for nothing can be the death of her.

"Relax! You sleeping beauty. Although there's nothing true in what I just said but you really need to get your ass fit. Look at you." She pointed towards me with disgust that her face was really good at portraying.

"Just by looking at you makes me think of Doraemon." She bursted into laughter while clutching her stomach with one hand and the other resting on her knee. She was enjoying what she has just called me and I stood there scowling.

She stopped for a minute and looked at me in the eye. I was about to scold her for a good minute but before I could even utter a word she went into another fit of laughter.
She was getting on my nerves now and to stop her with her laughter session I had to skin her alive. I took an opportunity and trudged towards her to whoop her ass but she was good at bolting and ran towards the other side of the sofa.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME ?" I yelled with all my might and ran after her hoping for a chance to strangle her so I can rip her bangs off once and for all.

"BITCH YOU HEARD ME!" Lisa snickered and stick her tongue out at me.

I chased her while running around the sofa just like
Tom & jerry.

After the whole chase around the sofa for fifteen minutes which felt like eternity. We both gave up as we were at the loss of our breaths. I took another chance and slowly crept towards her and locked her from behind. Finally,chasing her all around the hallway was worth it. I sighed in victory.
"You're in my custody now" I said in an evil tone to make it sound like a kidnapper that I was pretending to be at the moment.

"Sto-p.. it tic-kl-es..." she said in between laughs. I let go of her and turned her around, facing her.

"Now tell me. What was exactly up that you dared to do this to me" I asked her calmly.

"Okay so, I needed to tell you that we're expecting some guests" she cooed.

Guest? But I thought I was the guest here. I thought. It's been a day since I came here and she's already expecting more guests.

Ever since I had gotten this job at a cafe, I was never able to have free time to chat with friends or to even meet them because at the same time I had college. Now that I got holidays from my college and as well as from my work place I decided to come and meet my cousin, in order to spend this free time with her to its maximum. But, guess she won't be sparing her time for just me.

"Who's that guest?" I asked in a
monotonous tone.































"Well you'll see when they come over."
