Rap Rap Rap. Lindsey awoke with a jolt. Slightly on the short side, she had long, dark brown hair, dark eyes, and looked somewhat average for a thirteen-year-old. She tried to sit up and promptly fell off the couch, landed on her face, and lay there, dazed, for a few moments. Rap Rap Rap. She scrambled to her feet and made a mad dash to the door, falling over at least four times before actually reaching the door. She finally opened the door to find Carrie standing outside. Carrie, her best friend. Taller than Lindsey, she had black shoulder-length hair, large blue eyes and a diabolical mind that matched Lindsey's.
"Hey!" exclaimed Lindsey tiredly, stifling a yawn. Is it possible to exclaim and sound tired at the same time? No idea, but I'll make it work, 'cause I'm special like that. "Come inside!" she turned around and started back outside, falling over and ending up partially dragging herself.
"Your legs are asleep!" Carrie observed brightly.
"How observent of you.." Lindsey muttered good-naturedly, gingerly standing up. She squinted at the clock on the wall. "It's ten at night... holy shiznicks, I must've fallen asleep earlier.. lack of sleep caught up to me." she chuckled.
"Yep." Carrie agreed. "Want to go upstairs and do something random?" she suggested.
"Sure."
And with that, the two of them started upstairs, stopping momentarily at Lindsey's guinea pig cages to say hello to the furry little animals who were preoccupied amusing themselves with an old chewed block of wood. Once in her bedroom, Lindsey rummaged around underneath her bed, occasionally chucking out random objects without looking.
Carrie climbed onto the bed, leaned over the edge and watched Lindsey make an utter mess. "What are you looking for?" she asked, amused.
"Movie." she answered, still throwing random things over her shoulder. "Any idea what you wanna watch, cause I'm just going to decide on the first thing I find if you don't have an idea."
Carrie shrugged, wincing as a chewed high-top sneaker hit the wall and knocked a painting down. "No idea.. but do you think you could be any, ah, more CAREFUL with the whole throw-crap-at-the-wall thing?"
Lindsey pulled back from underneath the bed. "Ow." she yelped, realizing her hair was caught in something underneath the bed. She sat up, rubbing the back of her head and realizing with some dismay that she'd lost her scrunchie to the Evils of Under the Bed. "Aha! How about this?" she said, holding up her copy of The Goonies.
Carrie nodded. "Sure, sounds good.. I haven't seen that in forever!" she said agreeably.
And so Lindsey got up and put the movie on, and they sat back and watched.
"Mouth's such a dork." Carrie chuckled, as Mouth obnoxiously yelled "Jerk alert!" onscreen.
"Yeah... cute, but a dork." Lindsey grinned.
"I'm so gonna use that against you..."
"Dorkilicious!"
