Fiction Friendship Happy

It has been a long day. I had gone to my work from 4 am to 1 pm. I learned today that I had been doing the assigned essay all wrong. Then I went to my classes from 3:00 pm to 10 pm. Of course today, every single easily angered person, within a fifty mile radius, decided they wanted coffee from my specific coffee shop. Of course my co-worker, Elijah, was being useless. On top of that I dropped my laptop yesterday and it completely shattered. Luckily I found one on sale. The previous owner said that it worked but it had a bug and they didn't want it. I picked up my new laptop at two and set it up before heading to work. I am not even joking I just got home and it's already eleven.

"I'm honestly so tired. Today was such a long crappy day and I still have to do that essay! "

No one responded since I live alone in my apartment. So I really

said this to no one in particular. I however don't have time to be tired. I've got an essay due tomorrow and I have to completely restart. I open my new laptop and it is opened to a split screen. One is a google search for how to get better sleep; the other is to my Spotify, my upbeat songs to keep me awake playlist.

I don't remember opening these. It's weird because that's the exact thing I would have done.

"Oh well, I'm so tired I'm losing my mind. Haha. "

I sit down and go to open up my essay. I swear I'm not crazy but it opened by itself. I sat there staring at my computer screen. What the heck? Never mind. I don't care. I probably just opened it without realizing. I erased all my previous work and started again. I open a few different tabs and start making bullet points on the essay document. For now, it is nothing fancy just info. After that I start putting it in paragraphs. To be honest they were really bad. I notice that occasionally sentences will change and words will be re-written. I must have done that and not noticed. That's the only reasonable explanation.

"I'm so tired. I need to finish this. If I don't I'm gonna flunk...... No, you can do this Lizz!"

I can't fail i need to finish this and it needs to be good. Thank God i got a new computer. I love my new computer the keys never stick and it stays connected to WiFi. My old laptop always stuck or disconnected. Best 50 dollars I ever spent.

"This is the best computer....should've gotten it sooner....I'm so tired."

It's 3 am. I haven't slept at all but my essay is almost done.

"i just need to fix the spelling....maybe some grammar..and umm ..re..phrase.."

My alarm is going off. Where is my phone? What time is it? Suddenly I jump awake. It's 5:20 am. I'm at my desk in front of my open laptop.

"My essay!"

I start reading through it, horrified because I didn't finish. I don't have time to edit anything! I'm gonna fail! I started to read.

"It's - It's amazing!"

Everything was edited the spelling checked, everything that sounded awkward was rephrased; It was perfect. I didn't do that. I lean towards the computer screen. I stare into it.

"I need to print this." I whisper.

The printer starts going. It's my essay. I grab it and start to get ready. I am in shock. Before I go I turn to my laptop.

"Thank you."

No problem, Lizz.

THE END.
