Ram opens her eyes. The room is dark and it takes her a while before her eyesight adjusts. She stares at the glowing digital clock that reads 5:23 and sits up from her bed.
Ram puts on her slippers and walks to the closet with her blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She looks through her clothes and pauses. ‘Where did my hoodie go?’ She turns on the lights and looks again. It really was gone.
Ram spent the next hour turning her apartment upside down looking for her only hoodie. She gives up after looking through her laundry the 4th time. Resigned she keeps the blanket around her shoulder as she sulks her way to the kitchen.
The hoodie was given to her by her friend Melody. It was one she cherished very much since she never goes out shopping often. Ram didn’t really care for her looks but that hoodie was comfy and losing it hit her hard. ‘I wonder how disappointed Melody will be that I lost that hoodie,’ she thinks while she takes out raw food and prepares them for her breakfast.
Ram sits down putting the blanket on her lap eating her food. Her phone rings and she pads her way back to the bedroom. She picks it up and reads ‘Melody’ on her notifications. She opens the messaging app.

Ram smiles wondering what kind of sweet Melody might bring her. She quickly finishes her breakfast and arranges her room from her previous scavenge hunt. Her bell dings as she finishes fixing her bed and she beelines for the door. Melody stands there pulling down her mask and waving the bag of convenience store products.
“Hello !!!! What did you get me ?” Ram starts, excited at the possibility of candy. Melody huffs, “Let me in first would you ? It’s cold.” Ram moves aside and Melody leaves her shoes by the door. Ram looks through the bag and fishes out one of the green wrappers. “MINT ! Thank youuuu”
Melody takes of her jacket and puts it on the sofa. She then took her bag and put out a lavender hoodie with a small leaf notif at the front. “Here, your hoodie,” she says while looking away. Ram freezes and slowly takes the hoodie. She notices that it smelled just like Melody and quickly puts it on.
“Wait,” Ram pauses, why was it with you ?” Melody sweats as she clasps her hands together, “I may or may not have took it yesterday while you were not looking then I realized that it was probably the only one you had so I gave it back-”
“Wait, why did you-”
“NO COMMENT.” Melody loudly interrupts her face pink.
Ram huffs crossing her arms as she stares Melody down. She then notices something else. “Is that my shirt?” Ram says pointing to the white shirt with a small sheep on the breast pocket.
“Uhh- no way we probably got the exact same one I d-didn’t know that you had one like thi-”
“You have been stealing my clothes ?!” Ram starts slightly amused at Melody’s attempt of covering it up. Melody’s shoulders sag as she whispers a soft hum of affirmation.
Ram starts laughing and Melody looks up. Melody pouts, cheeks pink as she watches Ram laugh at her.
“You can stop laughing, I promise to return all of them when I remember..”
Ram stops laughing and slowly turns to Melody, “What do you mean ‘all of them’ ?“
“It means I stole more than one.”
Ram’s jaw drops, “Ehh? It’s okay I don’t mind you wearing my stuff just ask me next time. And give me more candy.”
Melody stops, she looks at Ram and chuckles, “Yes ma’am, I’ll remember that.”
