Today is a bright morning. I was tossing and turning in my bed. This few days I couldn't sleep well and I don't know why. Me and my bed were such a perfect match but the alarm eventually broke us up. I looked at the clock, it showed 6.15am.
I then woke the sleepyhead aka my roommate and also my best friend up.
Today is a normal day as usual. I had my breakfast and went to school with Tiffany.
When we reached the school gate, I suddenly lost my balance and fell. Someone then caught my hand. He was the most popular guy in our school.
Agnes Su
Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.
He then let go of my hand. I lost my balance and fell to the ground.
Everyone around me even my best friend, Tiffany laughed at me.
Why? Why is this happening? I didn't know what was going on. It was so embarrassing.
Tiffany Gu
Agnes...Agnes...
*shakes Agnes's shoulders*
I opened my eyes again and saw Tiffany in front of me. She was looking concerned.
Agnes Su
Tiff? I thought you...
Tiffany Gu
I heard a loud noise so I came in to see what was going on. Did you fall from your bed?
Tiffany Gu
Are you alright?
Phew! So it was just a nightmare.
Agnes Su
Urm... I guess so...
Thank god it wasn't actually real.
Tiffany Gu
Come on. We gotta go to school.
She helped me up. My butt was painful because of the fall.
Agnes Su
Ugh... The second hardest thing in the morning is getting up from bed I guess.
*yawns*
Agnes Su
Eh, I thought you were still sleeping? You sleepyhead.
Tiffany Gu
I woke up because I heard noise you know.
Tiffany Gu
Normally I won't wake up so early. Hehe.
We brushed our teeth and all that stuff and we headed to school.
I guess it's bad luck. I hope I don't dream of that anymore again.
Instant noodles, dangerous?
Tiffany Gu
Yeah, I can finally get some sleep. Come on, let's head home. You were the one who made me lose 30 minutes of sleep.
*drags Agnes*
Agnes Su
You are really a sleepyhead.
Tiffany Gu
I have dates with my bed everyday you know. And we're gonna sleep together.
Agnes Su
Ya, sleep all you want then.
Agnes Su
*bumps into someone*
Agnes Su
Eh, I'm sorry.
*looks up and saw Alex*
Agnes Su
( Such a rude guy 😡 )
Agnes Su
Hey you! You knocked me!
Tiffany Gu
Agnes! Come on, let's go back to the dorm. I wanna sleep.
Agnes Su
Wait... He... He...
*stares at Alex*
Tiffany Gu
Come on! I'm super tired.
There was a knock at the door.
I opened the door and let him in.
Lucas Qi
Hey, I bought your favorite instant noodles.
Lucas is secretly in love with Agnes but then... you'll see.
And Tiffany is secretly in love with Lucas.
Agnes Su
Hey, come in. Thanks.
Tiffany Gu
Why do you keep buying instant noodles for her everyday? You know it's not healthy, right?
Lucas Qi
That's her favourite? Isn't it?
Agnes Su
Yep, that's my best friend.
*puts her hand around his shoulder*
Tiffany Gu
You know there was this girl. She kept eating instant noodles for three meals everyday continuously for three months and now she is dead.
Agnes Su
Really?
*worried*
Tiffany Gu
Why would I lie to you?
Lucas Qi
How did she die then?
Tiffany Gu
Urm.. This she died in a car accident when buying the instant noodles.
Agnes Su
I guess I'll continue eating........ 😶
Agnes Su
Tiff, you know that rude guy who bumped into me this morning?
Tiffany Gu
Yeah, his name is Alex Yu. He is quite popular in school. He is not quite interested in girls.
Lucas Qi
Why? Do you know him?
Agnes Su
No, nothing. I'm just asking for fun.
Jazlynn ( Author )
Is instant noodles dangerous, idk
I can't fall asleep!
Teacher
Agnes! Agnes! Agnes Su!
I opened my eyes and saw teacher in front of me.
Agnes Su
Hi, sir. What can I do for you?
Teacher
Why are you sleeping in my class? is my class that boring?
Agnes Su
No, I wasn't sleeping.
Teacher
Then why are you closing your eyes?
Agnes Su
I was thinking about the things you taught us.
Teacher
Why are you nodding your head then?
Agnes Su
Because what you said made sense.
Teacher
Next time pay attention in class.
*patts her head with his book*
Agnes Su
But sir, I thought that class actually meant
Come
Late
And
Start
Sleeping
Agnes Su
I didn't come late so at least I should sleep.
Teacher
Shut up and focus!
Agnes Su
Oops. Okay, sir. 🤗
Lucas Qi
Hey, you alright?
Tiffany Gu
Did you sleep well?
Lucas Qi
Didn't you try to count numbers?
Agnes Su
I did. But when I count until 498753, my alarm rang.
Agnes Su
Okay, okay, I'm just kidding.
Agnes Su
It's just I couldn't sleep. And it's super duper annoying.
Lucas Qi
Do you need me to read you a story before you sleep?
Tiffany Gu
How about we sleep together?
Teacher
Hey, stop talking and focus! Guys!
Agnes Su
Sorry, sir. Really sorry.
I was sitting on the bench and thinking about the horrid dream yesterday. Does that dream wanna tell me something or not? Or is it a warning? I don't wanna think about it. And I hope it doesn't happen again cause it's really horrid.
Suddenly, something knocked my head.
Alex Yu
What's your name? Agatha? Esther? Or Astrid? Can you like pass me the ball?
I picked up the basketball beside me and threw it at him.
Alex Yu
Wow, look at your eyes. Did you sleep well last night?
Alex Yu
Are the bags under your eyes Gucci?
I think he noticed those black circles under my eyes.
Alex Yu
So I guessed it correctly.
Agnes Su
And my name is Agnes. A-G-N-E-S! Not Agatha, Esther or Astrid!
*shouts in his ear*
Alex Yu
Yo, you don't have to be that loud don't you. My ears are bleeding.
Agnes Su
And don't think you can be arrogant because you are popular.
Alex Yu
I'm not arrogant. You are the one feeling that I'm arrogant. Okay?
Agnes Su
Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say.
Alex Yu
Actually, I've a way to overcome your sleeping problems.
He pulled me towards himself. He grabbed my head and started to massage it gently.
Agnes Su
Wait! Wha... What are you doin?
The massage was quite effective. I felt so comfortable. I felt like I was in heaven. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the massage.
This went on for like a minute.
Agnes Su
Thanks for the massage. It's actually feels better. At least you are not that useless after all.
Alex Yu
Hey, you were the one thinking I was useless!
Agnes Su
Relax. I'm just kidding.
Agnes Su
Btw, where did you learn how to.. urm... massage?
Tiffany suddenly came over after playing like a small kid.
Tiffany Gu
Come on, Agnes. Let's go back to the dorm. I'm so freaking tired and I wanna sleep.
Alex Yu
How much does she sleep? Everytime I hear the only the word 'sleep' from her mouth.
Agnes Su
Maybe like 18 hours a day? Yeah, she sleeps like a baby.
Tiffany Gu
Agnes! Faster laaa! I want to sleep already.
Agnes Su
Okay, okay. Coming!
And thanks to Alex, this night I slept really well.
