Here is chapter 4... took me awhile cause i couldnt think of much things to add to it but okay here...
Chapter 4: Splatter
I heard a knock at my door. Quickly I fly down from the top of my bunk bed, dropping a bucket of green paint along the way. It hit the ground with a thud and paint splattered everywhere. I giggled softly to myself. At least I knew where my name came from. I opened my door to find Cinder standing in the hallway.
"Hey Cinder! What are you doing up this late?" I asked. She peered behind me into my messy room full of paint, canvas, and a million different art projects I had started but never finished. That's what happens when you cant concentrate or focus on anything for more then a few minutes; you rarely finish anything (especially schoolwork, I can only focus on that for about 30 seconds). Cinder laughed,
"Accidentally set my room on fire," She said between fits of laughter, "What are you doing up, Splatter?" I grinned,
"Painting as usual! Couldn't sleep." Cinder's eyes darkened and she stopped laughing.
"Splatter, you haven't slept in days! You do know that you seriously need to rest." she said quietly. I sighed, "I know, I know, its just that every time I'm about to fall asleep I get this amazing new project idea and I don't wanna forget it cause I have forgotten so much already!" Cinder gave me a puzzled look, "What have you forgotten?" she asked. She couldn't know, I had accidentally almost spilt my greatest secret.
"Oh, uh nothing. Just some project ideas I had, but never remembered." I gave her a reassuring smile. That seemed to relax her,
"Well, ok then" she said looking up at me, "Would it be ok if I stayed here for awhile? Like I said before, my room caught on fire." I giggled, she said that as if catching her room on fire was no big deal. "Duh!" I laughed, "Me and you are like BFF"s!" Cinder looked at me with shock and surprise. "We're best friends?" she stuttered.
"Yes." I stated. "Come on in!" Cinder looked relieved as her and I trotted into my room. "Um… you can stay on the bottom bunk" I said as I flew over to the bottom bunk of my bed. I pushed old art projects and some empty canvases off, to find the sheets covered in wet paint. My smile faded to a sad frown. Now where was she going to sleep? Cinder looked over at the colourful bed. "It's okay," she said, "I'll just sleep on the floor." Then she walked over to a bare spot on my floor and curled up into a small, light red ball. I flew on to my top bunk, pushed my most recent painting away, and laid down. I flew Cinder a clean blanket. "Here you go!" I yelled. "Splatter! I do want to sleep! Please don't yell" She took the blanket and let out a yawn. "Goodnight. Splat," I giggled as she used my nickname. "Night, night Cindy!" She turned to glare at me. "Don't call me that." I laughed again. "Okay, goodnight… Cindy." This time all she did was shake her head and slowly drift off to sleep.
