I was woken up by the annoying blaring of the 4th alarm Amelia invested in for me this week. I always broke them all due to how off-guard they caught me. But this time, I did not. Mostly because I never really slept completely, but oh well.
"AND SHE'S AWAKEEE!" Amelia cheers, jumping around. "How much sugar did she have again?" I ask Beatrice, blinking harshly, letting my eyes adjust to the brightness of the room. "Oh, just a couple of pounds of expired candy corn." Beatrice shrugs, not removing her eyes from her nails, which she was doing.
"Oh, that's not too bad..." I mumble, making my bed. "Wait, a couple of pounds?!" I ask, realizing what the hell she just said. "Yeah, my nana sent me like 5 jars of them." Beatrice says. "Too bad they're all expired." She sighs.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOkvdR5Jg0
"Oh shush. It's great. Especially with honey. I felt like eating healthy." Amelia shrugs.
I let out a laugh at that. Why am I so used to this? Must be cause I've been here for a month already... But I overall enjoy their company. I guess I really did find friends in this place after all. Things with Ivan haven't really made much progress though.
Like, they haven't been bad either, I guess. But they just didn't get any better. We just sit in silence, gazing at the stars at our spot every night. And sometimes even smoke in silence. We both have this mutual respect for each other's personal boundaries.
Which is ideally something I'd really appreciate, but unfortunately, in this case, it is the complete opposite of what I need. I have to get close to him without really getting attached to him. I need him to trust me, and that will not work unless he gets to know me.
"Nyxieee..." I heard Amelia whine again. "What is it?" I ask her, snapping outta my thoughts. "I need your help." She says. "With what?" I ask. "I need your help to pick a suitable outfit for tonight." She grins. "What's tonight?" I question.
"Girl, don't tell me you forgot already-" Beatrice scoffs. I just look at them both blankly. "THE PARTY! Gosh Pheonyx, why don't you ever pay attention to us?" Beatrice rolls her eyes at me. "Ohhh..." I nod. "What party?" I ask softly after a minute.
"ASHJDAHHA!" Amelia yells something and throws a pillow at my face, throwing a fit. "Okay okay sweetie, this is why we never let you have sugar." Beatrice sighs, calming her down a little. "The end of the month survival party." Beatrice then informs.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OeyAls9z4
"Ohhh, that thing y'all were talking about at lunch yesterday." I recall.
"Yes. Thank god you remember that." Amelia scoffs. "Not gonna lie, I was beginning to wonder if hanging out with us killed your remaining 3 braincells." She mumbles, making me laugh a little. "Honestly, sometimes I still think that." Beatrice chimes in.
"Well, Ames, I will help you pick an outfit, so don't worry about that." I smile at Amelia, who was now cheering like a kid. She has always been an athletic one. She's a badass at running due to her energy, but unfortunately for us, whenever she's not running, she's making us wanna run away.
She's really sweet and funny, and I really enjoy her company too, even though she can get a little nosy at times. Beatrice is nice too. Really cheeky, but I like her honesty. She's also kinda the mom friend who always keeps us under control.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6atJXYxc0x
I'm glad I'm friends with them.
And then there's Raj. He's a very trustworthy and responsible person who helps me get away with anything. He kinda reminds me of Matthew, not gonna lie. Specifically the lectures I get from him every time I run into some trouble.
Talking about Matthew...
Well, he hasn't replied to any of my messages, or voice messages yet. I must've really hurt him for him to act like that. But then again, most of my messages haven't even been delivered to him yet, so maybe he's just on another mission. I sure hope so at least.
I'm still really worried about him though, cuz I haven't heard from him for over a month now. I just hope he's okay. "Okay so, I actually ordered a few dresses online as well, and they should be here soon, but until then, can you help me pick something sexy, but not too showy?" Amelia starts.
"Yeah, of course." I say. "But I have to take a bath first and get a dose of my morning coffee to function properly." I tell her. "Ugh fineee." She rolls her eyes. "I want coffee!" She then quickly says. "Oh hell naw." Beatrice cuts her off before she can say anything else.
"What? WHY!" Amelia frowns. "Because, sweetheart, every time you eat sugar, you turn into a cracked out, sugar-high, spawn of Satan!" Beatrice puts her foot down. "No coffee, or any more candy corn with honey for you." She scoffs, drying her nails up.
I just laugh at the two arguing, and head to the bathroom to freshen up.
After finished my morning routine, I also decided to give the gym a try, since I really needed to exercise too in order to strengthen myself more. I had a tight routine back at home, which I didn't follow very regularly here due to the studies and everything.
I quickly got dressed into some suitable workout clothes, and tied my hair in a high, messy ponytail after drying them. I then stepped outta the bathroom, looking for my headphones. "Hot damn mama- who's getting laid tonight?" Beatrice asks, making me laugh.
"I was just thinking about restarting my workout routine." I tell her. "Damn girl, wish I had your motivation." Beatrice sighs. "I've been trying to get you guys to work out with me for ages now." Amelia scoffs. "Well, you wanna come with me right now?" I offer.
"Thanks for asking, but I think I'm just gonna rest for now." She yawns. "Damn, this morning was exhausting." She complains, finally calm. "Yeah, I wonder why." Beatrice and I chuckle. "Well then, I better get going now guys." I say, grabbing my stuff and leaving the dorm.
"Later gator."
