She doesn't.

Ehhh. What a waste of time. Lily should be sleeping right now and she doesn't really feel like playing into Sandra's prank. She puts down her phone onto her nightstand, pulling the covers over herself and eventually falls asleep, knowing that she'll only get a few hours of rest before she has to head to uni.

Her precious sleep is rudely interrupted by the alarm set on her phone. She forces herself up from the bed, eyes drooping heavily, sighing deeply. This is going to be a long day. Why does she never get to bed on time? She promises herself to do so in the future. Something she's done countless times. She knows fully well her behaviour won't actually change. At least she is still able to stay on top of her grades, barely.

Lily gets into her usual morning routine. Eating breakfast on autopilot. Her phone vibrates once. Hmm...Sandra sent her a text. "Heyyy! Usual place and time to pick you up gurl?" If Lily wasn't so tired from lack of sleep she would have thought the way Sandra addressed her was odd, but the petite girl was too focused on simply not falling asleep into her bowl of cereal. Desperately sipping a cup of coffee hoping it will provide some solace. She types back a simple "Ye". Setting down the phone she stretches her arms up into the air with a powerful yawn. Time to get going.

Lily leaves her apartment. Heading out into fairly gloomy weather. A carpet of grey clouds covering the entire sky. At least it's not raining. She heads to the nearest bus-stop. Waiting for Sandra to come pick her up. She browses the group-chat on her phone. Most of the new messages seem to praise the video Sandra linked the other day. Going on about how great the video was and how they went on to share it with other friends. Sandra even chimed in, urging others to take a look and give it a share. Is this the new Gangnam style or something? Ugh...Sandra just realized how old that made her feel just thinking that thought. Her brief existential crisis is interrupted by a honk. Lily jerks, lifting her gaze from her phone to spot Sandra in her car. Sandra rolls down the window and leans out slightly. "Hiii cutie! You ready to like head off?"

Lily blinks, her legs not moving an inch as her eyes tries to catch up with what she is looking at. Sandra was wearing a tube top. Showing off her immaculate shoulders and midriff. Her skin was lightly tanned and showed no signs of imperfection. This clothing was not only completely out of line for what Sandra usually wore, it was also clearly inappropriate considering the weather. "What the fuck Sandra...are you not freezing?" Sandra looked a tad confused at that question. Holding a finger up to her lips that were way glossier than usual. "Uhm...dunno...not really? Hey are ya getting in or not!?"

This was really out of character for Sandra. Her best friend was a quiet shut in who used to wear nothing but sweaters that are really too big for her. And here she was talking all strange, acting kind of weird and wearing something she'd rather be caught dead than be seen wearing in public. "Lily are you ok? You look totally sad....You should watch that video I sent in the group chat! It makes me really happy every time." Sandra giggled playfully and starts rooting around in her handbag. Perhaps trying to get her phone. Lily felt like this was either some super elaborate prank or she was still in bed having a bad dream. "You know what Sandra...I think i'll take the bus." She expected a complaint from Sandra...but as she asked the question Sandra had found her phone and seemed enraptured by looking at what Lily assumed was the music video she keeps going on about. A surprisingly catchy pop tune could be heard from the phone speakers.

Lily sighs and simply walks away. Luckily the local bus seemed to arrive at that moment and she gets on. Happily paying the fare to avoid whatever the fuck was going on with her best friend. Sitting down on the bus she looks out of the window as it drives away. Humming lightly to herself. She must at least admit...the tune to the song was catchier than she expected. It was already getting a little stuck in her head despite her only hearing a couple of seconds of it.
