Daughter of the King

The clear Pennsylvania sky beckoned her to come and follow. What is a person to do when the sky looks so inviting? She reached up for it with all her might, but to no avail- other than some queer stares from fellow students walking past. Thankfully they were on their cell phones so they weren't really paying attention anyway.
She is happy tonight, our little Rebekah. She is reflecting on the good friends and family that God has given her here at school and back home... or wherever home may be for her friends. She is thankful tonight. She is thankful to the God who made the sky.
On her way back to her room she considered the amount of work to be done over the weekend. Then floor tiles seem to be saying, "coffee, Becca get yourself some coffee." She replied. No it's true. In a whisper, "I can't. I don't have a coffeemaker!" "We dare you." What does a girl say to that? If a floor tile dares you to make some coffee, then you just gotta. There’s no way around it.
Back in her room Rebekah scanned her surroundings. She had to be resourceful. There was no coffeemaker, but coffee doesn't need a maker, it just needs to percolate. She considered dumping out a teabag filling it with coffee and taping it shut. It didn't seem likely that the tape would last long enough.
Then she saw the Dora paper cups! "Jenna, can I use one of your cups?" She politely asked with a determination in her voice that Jenna had never heard before.
Thankfully, Jenna isn't terribly attached to her Dora the Explorer Dixie cups. She offered one up for the cause. A bobby pin was inserted into the bottom of the cup to make a sufficient hole. Using a paper towel liner Rebekah carefully scooped two tablespoons of her freshly opened Hazelnut coffee beans into the cup. Steaming hot water was poured over the dry coffee beans, and Eureka coffee dripped out the bottom into the awaiting mug.
*Smiles all around* Rebekah mixed in a bit of Alex's chocolate mint power. It wasn't necessary, but chocolate seemed to be desire worth satisfying.
Jenna announced that she hated coffee and chocolate. Although it’s true, Rebekah replied with a sigh, "Our friendship comes to a halting shriek right there."
Jenna laughed.
"Girl, you need some sleep. Shrieking halt?"
Rebekah smiled, she had her coffee- a good thing.
And, as the song goes, too much of a good thing, is a good thing.
