3 Metals and a Song
“Lying on your back with eyes open wide, looking into the sky.”
“That sounds really good, Ana!” Copper, or Imogen depending on who you asked, complimented her silver skinned friend as she read aloud one of the lines from a song she was writing.
“You think? It feels like there’s something...missing,” Liana, or Silver as she was more often known, tapped her pen against her notepad.
The contemplative silence that had fallen was broken by the door being slammed open by Gold.
“Guess what! Guess what!” the hyperactive blonde yelled, bouncing up and down in her spot.
“What?” Copper tilted her head to the side.
“Platinum is allowing me to go to the mainland!”
“Yay,” Silver didn't look up from her notepad.
“I know, right?!” Gold either didn't notice Silver’s sarcastic tone or didn't care as she bounced out of the room.
“You know,” Copper mused as she stared after the blonde metal, “everyday I come closer to believing that she lives in her own world.”
“You’re only just now realising that?” Silver asked, pen flying across her pad.
“Shut up...” the copper-haired metal grumbled, watching her silver toned friend work.
“Finished!”
“I wanna hear it!”
“Lying on your back with eyes opened wide, staring straight up into the sky.”
