I Hate Her Now

"Wake up."

I continue to hear a voice in my sleep and I groan, turning away.

I carry the pillow and press my ear in to it when I hear the voice again, loudly this time.

"Get up, Minerva."

It persists for a while before I get annoyed.

I throw off my pillow with a sleepy huff.

"Gosh, Gwen. Leave me alone. I am so going to k-"

When I open my eyes to see no one, I pause, "Where are you hiding?"

The scent is the air doesn’t smell like hers. She hasn’t been here for a while and all I can smell is me.

Goddess, is this room haunted?

No, way. I have been here for a while. It can’t be.

I would know if it’s haunted, right?

Yeah, yeah, I would.

With caution, I walk towards the door with my pyjamas and open it as fast as I can.

When I arrive at Gwen’s bedroom after she opens the door, stopping my persistent knocking.

I smile sheepishly.

"Can I stay here for a while?"
