You're just so far away (Carleigh)

[Cosima Zamora]

Cosima walked into her dorm, with a towel wrapped around her body, she had just taken a very nice shower on a Saturday morning. Usually she would have to go to work at this time, but they let her have the day off. Which meant she had the whole day to study, because that’s a thing still… And something she had to do even more now in her junior year. This was all alright though, she didn’t mind it, sure she would love to be able to go out and do stuff with friends, but maybe she could still do that… If she studied for a couple hours now, she could do something with a few friends later on in the day, take a break from studying and all that.



It sounded like a good plan, and it always made studying easier when she had something to look forward to afterward. Cosima was weird that way… She went into her room to get dressed, and to grab a bunch of her books, once dressed she placed all of her studying stuff on the coffee table in the common room. She never really liked being cooped up in her room, she much rather sit on the floor at in the common room studying then at her desk. She went back into her room to grab her throw blanket, It was pretty cold in the dorms now that the temperature dropped heading into winter.



Once she was settled on the floor in between the couch and the coffee table, she cracked open her history textbook, and put her earphones in her ears that connected to her ipod. One of her study habits was to listen to music while she studied, it helped her focus, and helped her to not feel trapped in text. Fire Escape by Love, Robotcame on and she couldn’t help but sing/mumble along with the song.

[Carleigh Davidson]

Saturday mornings. A day for sleeping in, for the majority of the students at Hammel. Not a certain blonde. Carleigh had already been awake for a few hours now and went through a few cups of coffee at this point, with her (hopefully) final one in her hand right now. The caffeine buzz was beginning to run through her veins as the blonde skimmed through the pages of her chemistry textbook. Part of her pact to have better grades this year was to spend more time doing homework. She had tons of spare time, but had the tendency to waste it instead of being a productive student.

After reading a chapter, Carleigh decided to take a break. It wasn't her fault chemistry was boring and hard to focus on. Maybe that's why she failed the class last year. She exited her room, the door clicking open. Nobody ever really stuck around the dorms. She was sure Lucy was her more often than her other roommates, not that it bothered the blonde. Today, there was a girl with dark hair sitting in the common area of the dorm. Obviously, a roommate of hers, but Carleigh couldn't place a name to the face. That had to change.

Ignoring the fact that she had headphones in and looked to be doing homework, Carleigh took the opportunity to go introduce herself and procrastinate on her own homework. Heading towards the couch, she took a seat on one of the cushions beside the girl and just waited for her to notice her presence, a soft smile on her face. Carleigh didn't know how long it would take, given that she looked pretty into whatever song she was listening to at the moment.
