I lay on my bed idly scrolling through twitter shifting from side to side, my legs tangled in the blankets, occasionally having to sweep away hair which had fallen into my view. After a while boredom struck, not finding anything to interest on my timeline I closed the app and flicked open Spotify, flipping onto my back and putting on 'Natalie' by HUNNY.

'Oh Natalie~ why are you so cruel? Oh Natalie~ I can't get over you'

The sound pulsed through my headphones on the highest setting as I stared at the ceiling letting the music drown out all my thoughts. With a jolt I was brought back to reality. My little sister, Faelyn, had dashed up the stairs to my room, landed directly next to me and had started shaking me furiously. Obviously startled, I pulled out one of the earbuds and let it hang down from my shoulder, the music still beaming out of it.

"IRIS! IRIS!" she shouted, continuing to jerk my shoulder back and forth.

"What??" I asked back in shock and dismay removing her hand.

"God, You scared the shit out of me" I muttered under my breath.

"LOOK LOOK!!" She exclaimed shoving her phone extremely close to my face. I grabbed her hand which held her phone in it and pulled it away so I was able to focus my eyes on the text.

!!SALE!! TwitchCon AUSTRALIA VIP MEET&GREET TICKETS 40% OFF

I forced the phone away from my face and gave a sigh, Fae had been asking for these tickets to TwitchCon for months. Mum had evidently already said no and that she would not be buying them so she had come to me as her second option.

"Pleaseeeeee~?" She whined holding her hands together as if she were praying. She continued "An early birthday present for meee~? They're 40% offff. Pleaseee~?"

She knew that if she was going to go I was going to have to too, which meant buying two tickets and giving up on the new shoes i'd had my eye on for ages. She looked at me again eyes full of hope and plea. I pondered for a moment, Fae doesn't often ask for anything, I knew how badly she wanted to go, and I suppose it'd be good for me to get out of the house, who knew maybe it could be fun? right? I tightly closed my eyes, preparing perhaps for a, somewhat rash, decision i was about to make.

"Fine. I'll buy the tickets" I winced waiting for impact from her hug.

Not a second after, I was engulfed in shrieks as Fae's arms flew around my neck squeezing me close to her. After a good minute she pulled away, her face plastered with a huge grin. Suddenly her expression dropped

"Oh my god, Iris you have to come with me to buy clothes. I have no idea what to wear, if i pick anything out ill look stupid" She rambled with panic in her voice.

"I want to... no ... I HAVE to look cool when I meet Dream and George. In fact I'm gonna be the coolest 12 year old there. You have to help me Irie PLEASE!!"

Irie was a pet name Fae had given to me when she was about 5 years old, she found it too hard to pronounce my name properly so she began to call me Irie (pronounced eye-ree) and it just kind of, stuck, i guess?

"Ok ok, its getting late now so why dont you head off to bed and we can get up early tomorrow and head to the shops?"

I asked, tilting my head slightly to the side. Fae's face gleamed up at me as she mumbled a thank you and hoped off my bed dodging her way around the clothes that were scattered around my room as if they were land mines. I popped in my other headphone again, picking up my phone shortly after to check what the song had changed to, the screen read:

Huh, I hadn't realised it was so late. I'd had a long day out with friends wandering around the city causing mischief and was pretty out of it at this point. I fumbled with my phone turning it off and setting it face down next to my pillow, making sure to have an alarm set for tomorrow morning as to get up in time for Fae and I's spontaneous shopping trip. And just like that, almost as soon as I hit the pillow I'd fallen straight to sleep.
