Phoebe found herself smiling, cheeks dimpling. “I’m fine. Sleep, if you’re tired.”

“But I wanna stay awake with you…” Elide whined, moving a little closer to Phoebe.

Phoebe went red, suddenly thankful for the darkness. She cleared her throat, one hand accidentally brushing Elaine’s stomach. “Oh.” was all she could say, licking her parched lips.

“O-Oh what?” Elide stuttered out, a heat rising to her cheeks.

“N-nothing. Nevermind. Sorry.” Phoebe looked at the ceiling for a second, trying to collect herself. She knew firsthand how easily a crush could form, and this was bad. “How was your day?”

“It was school so boring…” Elide muttered, her eyes falling shut, “But becoming friends with you was the highlight…”

“Definitely..” Phoebe whispered, afraid of startling her. She seemed ready to fall asleep, and as much as she wanted to stay awake with Elide, she could tell her friend was tired.

“Mhm… you’re great…” Elide didn’t even realise the words slipped from her as she soon fell asleep. In her sleep, she curled into Phoebe.

Phoebe froze completely, not daring to move an inch. Her breaths came out heavy, but she somehow managed to keep her cool and sanity.

It didn’t last long, Elide soon rolled over to her other side with a soft sigh in her sleep.

Disappointed in both herself and at the lack of Elide in her arms, Phoebe rolled over as well, breaths evening out.
She didn’t sleep at all that night

Elide woke up to the sun shinning onto her face. She groaned softly and rolled onto her other side, blinking her eyes open.

Phoebe’s eyes flew open as soon as she heard the slightest sound coming from Elide, trying on a sleepy smile. “G’morning. How’d you sleep?”

Elide shrugged a shoulder and rubbed at her eyes, “Alright, what about you?”

Phoebe’s mildly happy expression never faltered. “I woke up maybe twenty minutes ago, so pretty well.” She ignored the fact that there were probably prominent bags out of her eyes. “We don’t have to get up yet, it’s still 7:00am.”

Elide frowned, “I don’t think you should get up at all… you didn’t sleep well last night, did you? You have huge bags under your eyes.”

“I’m fine,” Phoebe reassured her gently. “There are always dark circles under my eyes, my mom says it’s from some sort of allergy? I dunno, I usually cover them up with makeup, but obviously I’m not wearing any now.”
(Haha liar)

Elide’s frown deepened and she sat up in the bed, sighing, “Fine. If you say so.” She didn’t believe her but didn’t want to push.

“Mm.” Phoebe stayed lying down, too weighed down from sleep deprivation to sit quite yet. “Ugh, school.”

“I really don’t wanna go…” Elide muttered, stretching her back and arms out.

“My neither..” Phoebe bundled herself deeper under the covers, her hair covering her face.

Elide sighed and then gasped, "Shoot." She scrambled out of bed to find her phone.

Phoebe pushed herself up quickly. "Elide? What is it??"

"I forgot to text… mum last night and tell her I wasn't gonna be home." Elide quickly found her phone to multiple texts and missed calls, "Turns out Dam- dad didn't have to work late.."

Phoebe slid out of bed immediately. "Call him back quick– I'm sure it'll be fine–"
