On a school trip...
We're in a hotel in St. Petersburg. I'm 16 and I'm sharing the room with a slightly crazy and very annoying 13-year-old. A couple samples:

She decides she's enamoured with the boy who's staying in the room directly above ours. She sits outside the window on the one-foot-wide windowsill, talking to him through the windows for hours. Needless to say, they both have "significant others" back home.

When it begins to rain, she gets an umbrella and sits on the windowsill with it. She practically blows away. I am quite concerned.

And the best bit: the beds are positioned in the room such that the headboards are next to end-to-end. If someone is lying in one bed, they can't see the person in the other bed. I'm lying on my bed, watching the World Cup, for this was last July. Aforementioned roommate and boy from upstairs are on her bed, going at it in their chaste way (in other words, they've got their clothes on). But... I suddenly hear slapping sounds coming from behind my. They are barely discernible at first, but grow louder and more insistent. I am imagining all sorts of possible scenarios on the bed behind me, and am much caught between whether to turn around and look or be left in blissful ignorance.

When suddenly... a rubber band goes flying across the room. She'd been snapping it against the bed for the past several minutes. Then she starts snapping it at me. I decide now would be a really good time to go to the toilet.
