Just 2

Laughing is what me and my little sister are doing. Throwing an exercise ball back and forth, cracking up when we Miss. Talking, smiling, laughing. Beside me, my laptop screams of half-finished essays trig tests physics homework scholarship deadlines. My little sister does something funny. The laughter doubles as a new inside joke is made. A new memory is stored Away for Future use. Hanging in plain sight is my graduation gown. 2 more months until I wear it. Not 8 Not 5 Just 2 2 sister giggling The happiness between the 2. The laptop screams. I should answer. I would, if not for the gown. 2 more months. Little sister laughs, unaware of the 2 screaming objects. 2 more months of being 2 I make a joke, the laughter defeats the screams. For now. 2 more of being 2 2 more months
