Alarm clock

Sia, our female lead, was fast asleep on a monday morning.

The phone on her bedside started ringing... Sia was just half awake. Rubbing her eyes, she received the call. A voice from the other side was heard.

- Hey Sia good morning! It's my treat today, you have to come.

Sia looked at the alarm clock on the table beside her. The time was 5:56 am.

🅂🄸🄰 : Ohh...Anna, could you just stop it. It's early morning, it is seriously not the time to discuss this. I am not even awake and you sway me to hang out with you. I have to attend lectures at the university.

🄰🄽🄽🄰 : Don't worry, I'm not asking you to skip lectures, just meet me after class. You have no right to say 'no'. I promised you this treat a long time back. I can't delay it further.

Her tone changed colors to innocence.

Can't you do just this much for your friend. I'm not telling you to do anything bad. Alice is coming too... Is it too much...

Anna kept blabbering and Sia got frustrated. She was not paying her full attention. Despite the fact that such quarrels are a usual thing between friends but it surely can't be served as bed-tea.

🅂🄸🄰 : Okay... okay... fine... stop it. I'll come. No more words out of your mouth now.

🄰🄽🄽🄰 : Thank you... sweet dreams.

The phone was disconnected and Sia banged her head into the pillow. She was too sleepy to understand anything. Soon she realised what had happened and what 'crime' had she committed. Raising her head in dismay, she thought,

- What did I do. I promised Anna that I would hang out with her after class. How could I agree to her so easily. Ugh... she is so good with her puppy attacks, she tried to blackmail me emotionally and I even got tricked. She knows how helpless I am in my sleep and took advantage of that. This brat needs a good lesson.

She turned sideways while lying on the bed.

-The problem in going out with her is that... she will treat me like a puppet, she will make me eat things according to her preference...if she wants to do something to which I don't agree, she will use her puppy attacks in front of everyone... she'll drink away all my precious time... she'll rant about her relationship problems... she'll flirt with people around and it would leaves a bad impression of mine even though I am not involved... at last she'll chew my head, I'll be dead tired, and the last thing that I will hear from her mouth is "you are such a wet blanket Sia.'' After suffering humiliations and scornful glare of others because of her, after doing everything for her, this is what I'll get to hear.

Sia rose up from her comfy bed and sat like a lost soul.

-It feels like I'm her boyfriend... Eww... her... it gives me the creeps. (She tried to suppress the thought as soon as possible.)

-How did I end up being friends with her... I don't want to remember the days when we used to play together. How on earth did we turn out to be so different. Was she always like this... how come I didn't notice it then.

She smiled a pleasant curve.

- Anyways, you are my friend, no matter how you are or how much you irritate me. I will be there for you... but I still can't digest this event... you owe me this time... (back to senses) no you don't owe me anything, I can't bear another treat of yours. By the way, thanks for ruining my sleep. Alice is coming too? Darn it.

Sia went to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee. Her head was jammed. She opened the windows and inhaled the fresh air. She was no more a lost soul. She calmed.

beep beep...beep beep... beep beep... beep beep...

Sia turned her head around and saw the alarm clock beeping.

- It's time to wake up.
