It was very early in the morning and the sound of the alarm was very loud, Lucy Jade's was, anyway.When Lucy couldn't get up, she whimpered and tried to get up. Her body was tired but she put it aside as she normally would. She wasn't able to get a good night's rest.Maya lay down by her in a rich silk blanket, sleeping peacefully, without a care.At times, Lucy was envious of her.Not because Maya was as well off as God.Since she knew what peace was Maya was silent.Lucy gazed on the pile of outstanding bills lying on the little desk beside her bed. Tuition balance. Book fees. Electricity contribution. Feeding allowance.Her chest tightened.Another month.Another struggle.She took a deep breath in and stood up."You're awake already?" Maya's eye was half open and she mumbled sleepily as if.Lucy smiled tiredly. Good morning, it's morning shift at the caf‚.Maya sat up a bit, her golden hair falling from her shoulders. "You" said that Lucy didn't get much sleep."I slept enough."
