The serenity of a silent night

After we finally loaded all of our stuff in (we hired a moving truck for the rest if you're confused) we both got to choose our rooms. Of course, Arianna would go for the biggest room but that's okay with me. I settled down for the smallest room because it has a balcony with an unbelievable view. I've always been a sucker for a good view, you get drawn into the beautiful scenery mother nature has to offer. I mean, half of my phone is literally filled up with pictures of beautiful skies and sunsets!

I spend a few hours sprucing up my room to make it look more like me, putting up my Nirvana, Arctic Monkeys, and The Neighbourhood posters, setting up my desk and electronics. I'm telling you, never go to Ikea for your furniture because I swear to god the instructions are written in some unknown to me foreign language. Or maybe I'm just stupid.

After a long night, I decided to walk over to Arianna's room to see how she had gotten on. I barge in and gasp in shock, wait no, it's Ari, so why am I shocked. I walked in to be greeted by bright pink walls, pink furniture, mainstream music décor, and a massive pink fluffy bear. Now, I'm not entirely sure what the inside of a vagina looks like, but I'm sure that this is pretty close.

I started to laugh at the thought and Arianna yelps as she stumbles off her step ladder, taking her strip of LED lights with her. I start to laugh, even more, it's a shame I left my phone in my room because this is fucking hilarious and should be documented.

She looks up at me looking mortified, and throws her strip of lights at me. She started laughing at me, as the strips were sticky they got entangled in my hair. "Fuck you Ari" I exclaim as I walk out of the room whilst she snorts of laughter.

I make my way into my bathroom and frown into the mirror as I struggle to rip out the strip of lights. What an idiot, no way in hell is she getting these now unsticky lights back. I murmur slightly as I finally manage to get it out of my hair, that hurt like a bitch.

Tomorrow's going to be a long-ass day. At least it's a Sunday, so we won't have to go straight into school, meaning I can avoid Mr. Parker, or should I say, Lukas.

I take a deep breath as I close my door behind me. Don't get me wrong, I love Ari, but I also love being on my own. I walk out to the balcony and am met with a beautiful view. It's dark out, so I see the glow of the city below me. the City from this perspective looks almost golden, and I hear nothing but the hue of the night's traffic and the small gusting of the wind over my head. I find it mesmerizing as beyond each lit window is a story, a life just as real and diverse as our own. We are all main characters in our own lives, but you're also a side character to somebody else's story. Sometimes I find that hard to comprehend. I light up a cigarette as I look up to the sky. The sky is so clear tonight, all the stars are twinkling and shining bright. Sometimes I wonder if amongst those stars are my parents looking down on me. Would they be proud, or disappointed in who I have become? there are so many unanswered questions that I cease to think about.

Before I let these thoughts of mine run wild I decide to sleep, as we have a long day of errands and settling to do tomorrow. I also need to have that conversation with Ari, I think about all possible outcomes and I am starting to dread it.
