yikes

Charlotte was usually alert but for some reason, she couldn’t be bothered with paying attention to anything anyone was saying to her today. The brown haired beauty’s mind was in a hundred different places at the moment, nothing serious however being someone who fretted over the tiniest of mistakes, [no doubt was she a perfectionist] it stuck in her mind. Hearing what might have been a question in her mind finally caught her attention, causing her to just say, “Oh, Sure, I think.”

leila was stressed, there really wasn’t a time that she wasn’t. always seemed to know how to shovel more onto her plate than necessary, but that wasn’t the point. frantically going into each room of the house, asking the same question only getting the same answer. getting into the kitchen, opening drawers and the refrigerator before she looked to see someone else sitting there. “hey, you seen my physics text book? thing costs more than a car,” she mumbled as she continued looking around the room, looking up for a second at the girl’s half assed answer. “you think?” she mocked, agitated by the answer apparently. “the fuck’s ‘i think’ gonna do for me? it’s a straight answer, yes or no. you’ve either seen it or you haven’t, for fucks sake.” 

“Yeah, huh.” Karlee’s feet were already turned toward the door, ready to leave at any moment. Half of her had wanted to stay and finish her movie, but – well, Leila was here now. “Yeah, I know how houses work, thank you. This room has a TV and didn’t have anyone else in it, unlike my room – until you came along. You know that there are a million other rooms you could have gone in, right? I was here first.”

letting out a quiet laugh, her head resting in the palm of her hand as she watched the girl in the doorway tense. “and? are we supposed to stake claim over the living room now? call dibs?” leila never really enjoyed having more than a few words with karlee, she always new how to get under her skin better than anyone. “you were asleep. you were quiet. didn’t think it was that bad of me to chose the quietest room in the house. but if you wanna be all big and bad, i’ll go in the backyard, your highness.” 

“I didn’t even drink last night. I really don’t know how I ended here.”

“that’s alarming. weren’t spending time with any suspicious characters were you?” 

She’d already decided that it was too early for this, and kept quiet as she allowed the girl to let it all out, her eyes lowering to the ground at the last statement. It was a little bit embarrassing for that trait to be pointed out to her. “Whoa, sorry – next time I’ll just stay asleep so I don’t interrupt your day,” she snapped, but that was all she had in her. 

“yeah, what good that’ll do now, huh?” rolling her eyes as she sat back on he couch, leila didn’t know why she even bothered studying anywhere outside the library at this point. “you know you have a room for sleeping, right? instead of getting in everyone’s way down here?” 

Kylie rubbed her eyes and looked around the room with a frown. “What the fuck?” She said. “I’m so so sorry.” The brunette apologized as she stood up from the bed. 

“next time you get shit faces, mind steering clear of my room?” rolling her eyes as she slid the jacket off the bed. “learn to handle your booze.” 

“Did you hear about those two black holes that collided something like a billion light years away and proved Einstein’s theory of whatever? I read about it the other day and some article said the waves were more powerful than, like… all the stars in the universal times fifty. Imagine if that happened anywhere near us. I don’t even think Matt Damon would be able to handle that.”

“theory of relativity? i mean, it’s cool, but it’s really not all that big of deal when talking about he expansion of black holes. they orbit around each other as is, so they don’t really collide, it’s more like absorb. the waves just help slow down time in space, they’re really not anything more than an indicator to where the black holes originated from in the first place. you should be more concerned about the black hole that’s about three times the mass of the sun that they think might swallow us up in the next ten to thirty years.” 

Kylie groaned when she felt someone trying to wake her up. “What?”

“this isn’t your room, and you’re on my fucking jacket,” looking down at the arm of the jacket she had in her hand. “get the fuck off my bed.” 

It was her one day off this week – she’d been working non-stop, had stayed up for half the night yet again – and her body was exhausted. She’d been so ready to just take it easy. Somewhere in the middle of her romantic comedy she’d passed out – only to be woken up a few hours later, in a daze, not even entirely sure where she was just yet. Karlee forced herself up and off the couch, turning toward the source of the noise. “What was that? What time is it?”

“that’s what you’ll fucking wake up to,” she huffed, sliding the glass she had just placed onto the table further away from her. “i mean, damn, i can drop a god damn vase in here and i got nothing from you, but the second i put a glass down, you’re up. and here i was actually trying to be considerate.” her attention never leaving the book in her hands as she went off on her rant. “it’s like noon. why? you missing out on your judgemental’s anonymous?” 

“ i wasn’t accusing you, i was just saying. so you can chill. because it’s common courtesy ?? i mean–at least don’t put the empty thing back in the fucking fridge. when you use the last of the toilet paper, do you leave the empty roll there ?? no, you don’t. you replace it. this is the same thing. ”

“ i don’t know what you want me to do about it ?? so you can quit this whole lecture thing. the milk is gone, take a moment to mourn, then be a big girl and go get yourself some more. not rocket science, boo. ” 

“ are you kidding me ?? if you drink the rest of the milk, don’t put the empty carton back in the fridge. be a normal person and go out and buy some more. it’s literally that simple. i mean really–who the fuck does that ?? how am i supposed to eat cereal for dinner now ?? ”

“ what ? i’m lactose intolerant ? i wouldn’t touch your god damn milk, and if it’s that important to you, why don’t you buy anymore ? not anyone’s job to keep you fed. ”
