Will wants to Talk

It was Monday morning again, and Rhea had to go to school, but since she had no birthday party to prepare for or any reason to go to school early, Rhea stayed longer in bed, and Celia had to come to her room to wake her up.

Celia did not wake up Rhea in the normal way. She had thought about the best way to wake Rhea up. Celia picked up a thread she had seen on Rhea's dressing table. She picked out a few strands and tied them up.

Celia moved closer to Rhea carefully, not alerting her. She placed the tied threads in Rhea's ear and moved it slowly. Rhea tapped her ear to drive away whatever was disturbing her sleep.

It persisted for a while and Rhea finally opened her eyes. "What is that?" She groaned.

"How long are you going to stay in bed? It's almost seven," Celia answered.

Rhea stared at Celia and noticed the thread in her hand. "Were you the one teasing me with that?"
