NICOLE POV
"Hello."The short redheaded girl said with a smile. She carried a large backpack on her shoulders and had an orange scarf tied around her neck.
"Who are you ladies?" I asked.
"Oh. Well, I'm Valery and this is Pulina." She extended a hand. I eyed her suspiciously.
"Aren't we supposed to shake it?"
"No!" I shouted defensively. "Just who exactly are you and why do you want us to help you plug in your toaster?"
Valery giggled.
Pulina frowned. "It is Violet and Pierson for you and no, we don't need help because we aren't one of those girls."
"And?"I gestured for her to continue.
"We'll be sharing the room with you girls." Violet continued. She looked at both of us and smiled again, "I can see that we're going to get along well. Yay!!"
She sat her bag down near the foot of our bed and started unpacking everything. Pulina ordered the bodyguards to bring in the rest and began arranging her stuff as well.
My jaw dropped. "What!? No way! Who told you this was going to work!? Why didn't anybody tell us!?"
Pulina sighed while rummaging through her bag. "The warden probably didn't remember to tell you or something but here are the official documents." She said handing over an envelope.
It was pink and scented, with Vi and Pie written in white and sealed with a heart. Aesthetic.

Kenzie POV
"Isn't it cute? I made it myself since it was going to be special". All of Violet bouncing around and her little buns are still intact.
While all this drama went on, the guards had already brought in their luggage. I sat there silently staring at the seven violet suitcases and the other rainbow ones. Some of the bags had little stickers all over them with stacked keychains.
"If no one tells me what's going on right now, I am calling the cops," Nic spoke, clearly irritated.
"The letter-"
"Just a second please." Vi interrupted Pie rushing towards one of the violet bags.
"I need my koala before the cute enquiry session." She said happily.
We watched in silence as she unlocked one of the bags and pulled out a giant stuffed animal. It covered her whole self.
"Where did you even find this thing?!", Nic asked looking at Pie who simply shrugged.
"He is so squishy!", Violet exclaimed as she held it next to her face, looking into its eyes lovingly.
Nic snickered and walked towards Pie, "Well then", she folded her hands, "Explain".
"Of course," Pie replied after making herself comfortable in her recently made bed. After ordering the guards and stuffing Vi with her koala-bear hybrid to bed, we were set to start.
---
"So..." Nic sang.
"So?" Pie sang.
We are at war right now about who finishes the so-called so-war. If you're wondering about Vi, she's snoring loud enough for the koala-bear-koochi-poochi-koo to deafen. No wonder it's lying still, cocking its head to her airy whistles.
"So the second-level scholarship results were out and you two will be living with us from now on. And the warden didn't tell us or give the official letter either 'cause she probably forgot?" A standing Nic summarised.
"You still can read the letter Vi made", she offered. " Except it reads more about ourselves and her cute stuffy toys completely ignoring the room allotment," Pie said and turned towards Vi to adjust her blanket while loosening her buns.
"So..."
"So..."
Not again. "Welcome," I said looking directly at Nic.
"Wait. You talk? This whole time I thought you were a wax statue and she has a weird kink about them." Pie pointed at Nic.
"No I don't! And she is Kenzie by the way. She has a 'kink' to only speak when it's ultra necessary". Nic explained and looked at me."But first we need to set some ground rules here. Basics about dorms are already in 'The Etiquette Bible' that none gives a shit about"
I coughed staring daggers at Nic. This drama has already spoiled my nap and I wish nothing more to happen, except my wishes never come true on time.
"Sorry, this time. Uh, none gives faeces about. Right?"She questioned.
I gave her an ok signal and on went the conversation.
At this moment, a little scratch on the doughnut box looked more indulging. I bet Nic will nag about it double the times she did last time. It's indeed pricey but priceless to her. And maybe there's a need to add juice to the grocery list. Her throat will dry out after comparing how the whipped cream this time was a little less sweet.
Nic cleared her throat trying to get the discussion back on track.
"Alright, no swearing. You must take turns making meals. The two upper beds are ours. You can take the others except you have no choice right now. Cleaning is also distributed per week. And the rest is the same." She said in a serious tone.
"Fair enough. Just that we may be a little short on food right now." Pie pointed towards Vi's grumbling stomach.
"Did I hear food?" Suddenly the bed rocked and an excited Vi peeked from under the koala.
"Yeah. It's lunchtime already." Nic stated.
"3'o o'clock indeed." Pie tapped her wristwatch.
"But it's nearly the last week and we are out of food. Somebody has to run errands." Nic pointed out.
"We can go all together. Maybe use this time to get to know each other better." Pie suggested.
"How about some snacks and drinks?" Vi jumped like she wasn't sleeping just now.
"Sounds great. Just give me a second or two." Pie swung her hand and scraped her black hair off, except for it was a wig.
"I guess we could use this time to learn more about one another." Nic grinned mischievously.
"And for another surprise." If this wasn't enough."My clothes go from all black to pink, just like my hair." Pie smiled wide like she didn't hate talking to us and rolled her eyes every time we did, a second ago.
"Aww, you think she's going to grow wings too?", Vi giggled while pulling her shirt, showing the cleavage of a very voluptuous and curvaceous woman.
"She does not wear bras and panties."Nic gasped and then glanced at Violet's breasts.
"Oh shut up." She blushed and covered herself quickly before putting her jacket back on.
"We should get ready," Pie said bumping shoulders with Nic who was continuously staring at Vi.
It fell on deaf ears until I stood up and cleared my throat bringing her back to now.
"Woah, how's the air at six feet?" Pie questioned.
"It's 5'5," Nic answered. When did she measure my height?
"She's still cute with the dimple. Aww, I'll share my noodles with you." Probably Vi said. I couldn't tell from my right view correctly.
"We ready?" Pie asked.
"Yup."
"Yayyyyyy... I'll get crackers."
Nod.
"Right. What are we waiting for then? Let's go!" Nic cheered happily and then led us out of the room and into the hallway.
"Fifth time on the noodle joke maybe?"
I sighed.
"C'mon, I love your curls." Nic grinned pinching one of my curls between her fingers.

We led our way downstairs and through the hallway containing the warden's office. It was big compared to other rooms. Walking in between all the kids having a good time playing basketball with a soccer ball, the stop was at Walsmartt.
An employee greeted us.
"Good morning madam. I am the manager here. Is there anything I can help you with?" She smiled.
"Hi there.Just the baskets for now. We'll call if necessary." Pie returned the gesture
The manager nodded handing us a basket each.
Reaching the grocery section I set for basics. Nic was having drinks and Pie and Vi were picking the snacks.
"I need pasta and tomato sauce." A running Vi roared from the following aisle.
"That's why you need supervision. Not assistance but supervision, God. Violet stop!", Pie blurted. This is getting funny I guess.
"Hey. Don't blame us when she gets into trouble!" Nic defended.
"Whatever. Anyway, what about these?" Pie inquired as she gestured towards a stack of frozen meat sticks.
"Those aren't bad. But the beef might be too salty."Nic shrugged.
"Okay. What's next?" Pie queried.
We continued browsing through the list as we listened to the footsteps of Vi running past us towards the back. I heard the freezer door open and then close loudly and she began singing some lyrics.
"Shit." Pie hissed under her breath and took off running to the back.
We ran alongside her trying to catch her and she ended up tripping over her heels. As expected.
We ran around the corner and came across a loaded basket of all sorts of snacks and pasta. And another basket on the right with instant ramen and cookies. To the basket's left is an empty open freezer.
"I asked for another basket, it's coming." Vi motioned towards the bottles of tomato sauce she was holding.
"We are not buying twenty-four bottles again", Pie took the bottles to herself.
Phew, that would have cost a thousand and five. I suck at maths. Just glasses help enough.
"But I can't decide."
"Wasn't sweet and sour your favourite?"
"New barbeque flavour is also good. I found it goes well with Mec'D fries."
Oh boy, she needs something sweet and sour. Or else.
"Let's choose. I've got to do everything."Nic blabbered. I hope Pie's right about this and the girls will settle with whatever they want.
We went to pick things and after checking a few we settled on some packet of chips and a bottle of water. We also picked some fruit and milk. It's been quite some time since we had any fresh fruits and vegetables. Plus I wanted something different from the cafeteria food. Something nourishing and filling.
The three of us carried a basket of stuff each to the cashier and placed it in front of her."
Thank you, you won't find anything like this anywhere else." She assured, looking down at the basket."Visit again."
Vi jumps in front as we exit.
"WHO WANTS MY NOODS?"
