Emeralds I

Sunlight filtered through the slitted shades on the windows, signifying the morning had finally come. People bustled outside in the streets and cars zipped by, honking and beeping and doing other noisy things that had awoken her from slumber. She shuffled slightly, pulling the covers up so that they completely covered her head, and groaned. Her head was throbbing. She breathed heavily under the suffocating darkness of the covers, and thought about what had happened last night. In fact, as she tried to remember, she became increasingly worried seeing as she couldn't remember a single thing that had happened. She decided to forget about it. It was probably only the migraine blocking her memory anyways. She sighed, deciding that it was time to get out of bed, and pushed the covers off her. She kept her eyes closed however, since her eyes had adjusted to the darkness under the covers. She raised a hand to her head, checking to make sure she didn't have a fever, which of course, she did. That was when she began to panic.

She continued cursing repeatedly inside her mind, wondering if she'd done the unthinkable—or more importantly, the illegal. The word continued to evade her as she switched gears to panic mode, though after what seemed like hours, she finally came up with the word that she wanted. Hangover. That's what it was, a hangover. If she was at least 20, she'd be fine with it, but the fact that she had only turned 19 last month had her in complete hysteria. Since she was probably in a nearly vegetative state after all the bottles she'd downed last night, she wondered what in the name of Arceus she did in addition to the illegal drinking. Her answer came to her almost immediately after she'd begun to remember how the night had started off.

"Good morning," came a cracked and dreary voice from next to her. Whoever it was sounded like they'd been screaming all night. It all suddenly clicked into place for her, and she slowly rotated to the other side to face whoever it was. Terrified, she stared into a stranger's beautiful emerald eyes, and screamed.
