Sparkling
There was a loud peeping-noise.
Automatically the auburn-haired girl slammed her hand on the bedside table,
sending
the chronometer flying on the
floor. She groaned.
Her father had given it to her
on her 10th birthday. It was a replica of a 20th
century alarm-clock, only that it didn't
require "batteries". She didn't
know why she had brought it along to the academy –probably sentimentality.
She got up slowly and stumbled
over to the bathroom. After the sonic shower –she was now to some degree
awake-
she got dressed and picked up
the chronometer.
She had just finished her bowl
of fruit salad when the door swished open and a tall girl in hotpants and
sweater entered.
"Good Morning" the girl greeted
her cheerfully. "Owww... Cameron! Please... not so loud!" she yawned. "How
can you
be so ... awake at this time
of the night?!" The blonde frowned. "Miral... it's 8 am." Miral nodded
feverently. "See, nearly
night. And you are all... bright
and shiny. That's not normal!" she yawned again. "Well, I wasn't out of
bed half the night!"
The older girl chided her. "So
what?" Miral glared at her friend. "I did my homework, went to a party
and had some fun!"
Cameron sighed.
"Miral... It's alright to have
fun and everything, but all you do is party! You do as little as possible
for your classes. Your
grades are a catastrophe." Miral
stood up abrubtly. " In Q's name! Don't chicken. She looked at her friend
annoyedly.
"Well, then what do your parents
think about this?" Cameron asked defensively.
But Miral had already gathered
up her pads and was at the door. "I am sooo sorry Cam, but I have to go
now if I don't
want to be late for 'Theory
on Warp Technologie'." she smiled sweetly and was gone.
Cameron sighed and shook her
head. She really liked her quarter-klingon roommate, but sometimes the
17-years old was
driving her nuts. Miral was
probably the most intelligent person in her age-class, yet most of her
fellow cadetts and
teachers were convinced she
was sort of stupid, simply because she was such good an actress.
The girl skipped more classes
than she attended; within the last 10 month she had been nearly thrown
out of the academy
not less than four times. The
only reason she hadn't been expelled, were her grades in the four examinations
which had
followed the warnings. In each
of the tests she had received top marks, even though she hadn't learned
for them at all.
Cameron wondered oftentimes why
her friend behaved like she did, but she hadn't found it out – yet.
