I Would Just Stand and Stare
Who: Kristen and Missy
When: Early morning (like 6:30 a.m.)
Where: Their home
Kristen lay awake for awhile, hands folded behind her head as she stared up at the no-longer glowing stars that she'd arranged so perfectly on her ceiling. They were nothing like real constellations but that was the point; these actually looked like what the constellations were named for. She was especially proud of the Orion one, that'd taken three weeks and way too much running back and forth to the store on part of her sister. Not that Missy'd ever complained, but Kristen felt a little bad all the same. Sometimes.
After several minutes had passed she could tell; it was one of those mornings. She couldn't hear anything anywhere in the house except her own movements and that meant that yep, Missy'd not come in until way after when she should've and now she was going to oversleep and not have anything to eat while she rushed out the door. Sighing, Kristen climbed out of her lofted bed and grabbed her brush, dragging it through her messy hair as she padded down the hall and stairs to the kitchen. She needed to stretch on her tiptoes to reach the eggs and other materials from the shelf Missy always kept them on, and then the stool that existed just for this reason had to be slid over in front of the counter so that Kristen could go about making scrambled eggs. She reached up to flick on the radio, head bobbing as the sound of Fireflies broke the early morning quiet. Any second now Missy would stumble through the door, probably still in her pajamas.
