Third Person exercise: project 365
It was late -about four in the morning late- when Alex woke up from the sudden bang of her door being slammed shut. She jolted up with a start and quickly shut her eyes as the light painfully hit them.

'Light? Why's the light on?' she asked herself as she looked about the room, only to see her strawberry blonde roommate carelessly throwing a ton of clothes and random items into a box. Her haircare products and video games hit the cardboard box quite loudly. Alex glanced at the alarm clock next to her and groaned loudly, before staring at her roommate with annoyance and a raised eyebrow. When Danny turned around, she smiled innocently at Alex, who continued to glare at her, and took out the ear buds from her ears. Alex was amazed that Danielle hadn't been deaf after listening to her metal so loud.

"Really?" Alex snapped. "Four in the damn morning and you don't have the damn common curtisy to at least be quiet? Why are you treating me this way?" Alex yelled flat out frustrated. "What the hell did I ever do to have you disrespect me this way! All I've ever done was help you and this is what I get in return? Seriously, Danielle, if this is how you treat someone whose paid for your damn college tuition then you need some major help! By the way, I hope you have other means for paying the school, because I'm not doing it anymore! Start packing, because I'm calling my parents," Alex ended with one last glare as she picked up her cellphone. She dialed her father's office and as she expected, he picked up within two rings.

"Hello," he answered eagerly.

"Daddy, cancel the payment on Danielle's tuition," she commanded as she stared at Danielle's unfazed face, which angered Alex even more.

"Sweetheart, just because you two are getting into a fight doesn't give you the means to take her chance at education away," he replied kindly.

"Cancel it, Daddy. I don't give away money to people who treat me like shit. And she's no longer my friend," she finalized still looking at an unfazed Danny.

"Alright. I'll do it right away, but later you're telling me whats going on."
