The loud clap of thunder woke you up. Eyes wide, you stared at the ceiling in mild shock as your heart raced in your ears. It was until the lightning flash that snapped you out of the daze and immediately sat up. The morning light shining dimly through the opened window, the white curtains flying wildly as wind and rain poured in, soaking the floor and curtains in small drops that slowly formed a single puddle.

Groaning, you pushed your blanket off of you(when did you get two?) and went to shut the window, cringing slightly as the silk stuck to your leg.

Mentally telling yourself that you have to change the curtains before you leave the apartment today, you turned and went on with your early morning routine. Showering and changing into fresh clothes, styling your hair in the most simplest ways.

In the kitchen, your eyes wandered to the clock above the doorway and fixed breakfast for you and your best friend, who wasn't up yet. After popping in the toast, you went down the hallway and knocked on the door next to yours. The closet and bathroom on the other side.

A soft groan coming within made you smile softly as you called her name. "Breakfast is on the table!"

A soft thump could be heard, opening the door slightly, You peeked into the room barely able to contain the giggle. "What are you doing?"

"Kissing the floor.." came her voice from the lump in front of her bed as you switched on the lights. "You should try it.." She finished with a groan, sitting up and rubbing her nose as she looked at you through narrowed eyes—no doubt from the sudden light.

"Maybe next time." You grinned, watching as she steadily got up and threw her blanket on her bed before making her way towards you, her hand in front of her mouth as she yawned loudly. She sported a simple white shirt and pink underwear. Blushing in embarrassment, you turned your head. You wished you were that comfortable so early in the morning, but atlas, you had classes to attend.

"Anyways, Breakfast sounds nice." She said through a sleepy grin. You stepped out of her way and followed her to the kitchen, a small shuffle in your step as you kept a respectful distance, knowing how grouchy she is in the mornings before breakfast. A soft chuckle came from you as you sat yourself besides her. Saying a silent prayer-- but she dug in anyways.

You shook your head and began to eat after finishing. The morning was spent silently saved for the occasional rumbles of thunder. You turned your head to look at the window. Another job searching after class, yaay....

After breakfast, you placed the dirty plates in the sink and went to grab your jacket and the umbrella, hoping that'll be enough coverage from the rain until you got to your car.

"Wait! Before you leave," Came your friend's voice, immediately standing from the couch and made a quick beeline towards you. Blinking owlishly, you slipped your foot from your shoe and met her in the middle on the conjoined kitchen and living room.

"I wanted to tell you about the monsters I met yesterday!" She clasped her hands together. "They're a cute bunch--well, except two but that isn't important." The mutter at the end wasn't loud but you caught it, slumping your shoulder and pinched the bridge of your nose. You honestly could care less about people she met, you had a class to get to, dammit!

You called her name followed by a long sigh. "I have classes to get to, I can't be late on the first day." Despite your obvious annoyance, you let her drag you to the couch. The pout from her quickly making you shut up.

"I know. but I wanna talk about my friends!"Her happy smile turned downwards in a frown. "Don't take them away from me."

You cringed at the demand, and quickly nodded before you could voice your thoughts. A forced habit you've picked up from living with your (admittingly) controlling brothers. Their actions were always for your benefit, so you didn't mind much.
