Disclaimer: Sally Lockhart's characters belong to Phillip Pullman. I have only kidnapped them for a while.
This week is midterm week in my college, therefore I must find some way to procrastinate. As you can see, I'm working on my series of drabbles. Although, to say the truth, I write these things between subjects. So, I study Fiction for a while, then I write something and go on studying Grammar.
Today, I give you one of Sally and Fred's famous "silent fights." Enjoy!
6. Hours
The room had been silent for a long time. Sally was studying her books and Fred was cleaning his cameras while Jim was reading an adventure novel.
The leftovers of their last fight were still floating around them. They were easy to see in Sally's brow and Fred's energetic moves.
"Sally, can you pass me that pencil?" said Fred, finally.
Sally didn't say a word but she moved the pencil towards Fred.
"Two hours," said Jim, absently. "That must be a record."
Sally and Fred looked at each other and began laughing out loud.
"You're right, Jim," said Fred, grinning.
Hope you liked it!
