Slice of Life

Setting: Beanie is laying on her bed with her shoulders and head hanging
off the side. She is starring at the wall. Her walls are a light blue, the carpet
is a dark blue, and there is one big window letting in a lot of light.

sprawled out comfortably across most of the twin sized bed.

ancing herself a bit by lifting her legs.

Sam: Oh, uhhh... do you know if Mark's thing is due today?

Panel C: B looks up (toward the ground) and bites half her bottom lip.

B: uhhh. no

Sam: no?

Panel D: B straightens her face.

B: No it's not due.

Panel E: B looks like she is thinking again.

Sam: we don't have critique today?

and playing with her hair.

Sam: What about our master copy?

balance herself on the bed.

B: that's not due till next week.

Sam: I thought it was due tomorrow...

Panel B: B sits up legs in front of her and hand on the bed between them.
With her phone still to her ear.

B: What?!?

Sam: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's due tomorrow.

Panel C: B shrugs.

B: Oh. I haven't started.

Sam: I did a little last night.

Panel D: (From above) B flops over and lays with her head on the pillow
and body twisted to the right.

Sam: But I fell asleep.

B: oh.

Panel E: from near the floor looking up as B looks at her nails with her arm
extended out toward the ceiling.

B: Yeah I'll do it tonight I guess.

Sam: Yeah.

side.
