The next morning, I have discovered the following things about my best friend:
- Lauren doesn’t sleep well on normal beds, either.
- Lauren likes late-night talking. She asked me about the Big Bang Theory. I said I didn’t know, as I couldn’t believe there was just this huge explosion and everything happened. There must be a God. Or something. Or someone. Lauren didn’t mean the theory. She meant the show (I’ve been spending too much time with Bradley). She then told me all the jokes from all the seasons of the show ever.
- She fell asleep telling me a joke, then woke herself up again laughing.
- Lauren sings in her sleep and buzzes like a bee. It’s a bit freaky.
- When Lauren wakes up in the morning, she does an overdramatic yawn that sounds like an earthquake.
- I am officially VERY tired. Lauren dashes downstairs for breakfast very early.
I check my phone. Lydia Portancia has TEXTED me.
Millie. WONDERFUL VIRAL WORK! Please make sure that you have a valid passport. If you don’t, please get one. Ask your mum if she has one, too. Will have news soon!
I know I have one. I shout down to Mum and ask her if she has one, too. Mum responds with “Yes! Why?”
When I shout back, “I don’t know!” Mum just laughs. Rod giggles, too. This house has become very silly very fast. Going to Granddad’s house is going to be a sensible relief.
I can’t believe I’m even saying that when Aunty Teresa lives there.
