Julianna

Julianna was lying relaxed on the couch in just her underwear, while her school uniform had been carelessly thrown on the floor. Her long, brown ponytail fell loosely over the back of the sofa and she was playing with a strand of hair with one hand, lost in thought. In the other, she held her smartphone to her ear as she spoke to her best friend in a calm but slightly amused tone.

No, seriously, you should have seen his face! The guy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. A soft laugh escaped her as she put one leg over the back of the sofa and snuggled further into the soft cushions. But suddenly the door opened. Without knocking.

Julianna's red eyes slowly travelled from the ceiling to her parent, who was now standing in the doorway and scrutinising her with a questioning look. Her relaxed expression instantly changed to annoyed incomprehension. Her lips curled up in a barely perceptible line and she shook her head slightly.

She sighed softly and spoke into the phone: Wait a minute... my parents want something from me... Then she raised her eyes and scrutinised her parent with slightly raised eyebrows. Her voice sounded cool, but not rude - just clearly annoyed. What do you want? Is it important?
