Beatriz rushed to her room, frantically slamming the door. Before checking to make sure no one was there, she threw herself on her bed and hugged her pillow, heart racing and eyes wild. So many people, and so many eyes, and what if I just looked stupid, I looked stupid, didn't I, oh my stars, I'm a disgrace.
Lurestral was practicing a smile in the mirror when a pretty girl with waist-length white hair stumbled into her. Plastering on the smile she just perfected, she replied in a cherry tone, "I'm fine! Just some personal issues - everyone goes through them." Forcing as much confidence into her as she could, Lure practically sauntered out the girls bathroom.
"um are you sure?"
She looks around checking if anyones around and she whispers.
"do you need any help?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Lure protests, whispering. As badly as she wants to tell someone, this girl is a stranger. And she certainly doesn't need to drag another innocent person down in this ditch. She's done with making people do things they don't necessarily want to do.
"um okay but I might be able to help you, I mean like….do you need help getting back to your room or something., um sorry though, I don't want to bother you."
I want to help her so badly…. she's hurting…. I don't know why she's hurting but she is and I want to help her.
Her eyes soften at the girl. She's just an innocent person. Hands ghosting over her necklace, she decides, "Yeah, I could use company."
"okay!"
shes really pretty! oh i should tell her that! thatll make her feel better a little right?
"you know you're gorgeous! Has anyone ever told you that!"
Lure blushes, wondering where that came from. "You're absolutely stunning," she adds an eye roll for emphasis, "-don't even. By the way, my name's Lurestral Irkla. You can call me Lure."
"Oh that's such a pretty name!"
She tries not to get embarrassed.
"Im Seo Hyeon Youn. Just call me CC"
She smiles sweetly at Lure.
"so um are you heading to your dorm now?"
"Yep, what's your dorm number, CC?" Lurestral strolls along the campus, feeling much more herself without the crowds. Now she has the chance to really marvel the school, and she does admire its vastness. "Hey, have you gone here before?"
"oh no, um its actually my first year here! i kind of saved up all of my money to come here…. and my motorcycle of course."
She asks as they both walk through the school.
(a year ago her and Ryuu bought motorcycles together)
"oh and its 12A, whats yours?"
She looks at Lure, her hair falls down into her face.
"Mine's 11A! That means our dorms will be right across from each other." A goofy grin appears on Lure's face, and her eyes are sparkling with her usual happiness. "Did you say motorcycle?"
"oh um yeah i did! Its pastel pink."
Shes kind of embarrassed that its not something cool, like black but at the same time she loved it. She loves pastel pink.
"Ooh," Lure fawns over the prospect. "Way to be yourself," she congratulates, feeling strangely reminiscent of words she needs to remind herself of. The duo reaches their dorms, Lure now completely at ease.
"why thank you!"
They stop in the middle of the hallway. In front of her own dorm.
"Do you have a roommate yet? Ya know i heaed some of the girls didn't get any roommates…. i didn't. which im not complaining about! So are you one of the girls who didn't get one?"
"I have one, actually. She, er…" Lure hesitates, wondering if she should invite CC inside. "Hold on a second."
She knocks on the door, calling, "Bee?"
Beatriz wipes her eyes, quickly jumping off her bed. Now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself. She rushes over to the door and opens it with a small smile. "Hello, Lure, do you need something?"
Lure quickly whispers, "Hey, there's a girl who occupies the dorm right across from us. She's standing outside, right now." A questioning glance is all Lure needs to communicate the question.
Beatriz gives a small nod. "Sounds lovely." What are you doing?! More people? But what if she's nice, and, and - she'll hate you anyway, it doesn't matter. She steps aside, opening the door so that Lure and the other girl can come in.
"Oh is she your roommate? I mean of course she is she just came out of your room. Heh, sorry that was weird"
She smiles at the girls. Her fluffy hair swings along with the awkward swaying motion shes doing. It tickles her legs as she does.
She puts a little piece of thick hair behind her ear.
"um, hi" She smiles sweetly
oh shucks im not wearing any makeup, i probably look like a mess.
Shes starting to kind of over think and analyze everything.
A quick scan of Beatriz reveals red eyes, yet Lure side-steps anyway, revealing CC to Beatriz. Lure introduces them, watching Bee out of her peripheral vision the entire time. "Come in," she welcomes.
Beatriz holds back a nervous laugh. "You - you're really pretty," she says, not thinking straight. As she comes to her senses, she nearly throws herself out the window. Did I really just say that? Why would you do that, you idiot? "Sorry, I just meant - er, nevermind. Um, you are, though. Pretty, I mean." She facepalms. You are officially a useless human being.
Seo-Hyeon steps inside looking at the room. Huh i think every rooms different. or mine purposely just has one bed….. yeah that's probably why."
(shes a little dense please forgive my baby)
She giggles at how stupid she is…. shes kind of just excepted it.
She turns to Beatriz and smiles sweetly
"Hi I'm Seo-Hyeon but you can call me CC if that's to long."
"Oh, alright. Sorry, my bed's sort of a mess, you'll have to ignore that," Beatriz says, shutting the door. "I - I'm Beatriz, by the way."
"Oh i think ive heard that name. Its pretty! Oh wow your hair is so pretty! I've always wanted to be a blonde. Theyre always so Beautful! oh sorry im just trying to be friendly. Am i being weird?"
(Seo Hyeons way of small talk is compliments (although she full heartedly means the compliments))
Lurestral smirks and settles herself on the bed, attempting to somewhat fix its appearance… but… the sheets are wet. Recalling Beatriz's fragile tone and red eyes, she snaps the picture together. Oh no, had the attention earlier altered her so badly?
But Lure continues to remain silent in the conversation, forcing Beatriz to accept the compliments.
Beatriz freezes. "I, um, thank you. N-no, you're not being weird. I just - sorry, I've just heard that a lot, and - not that I believe it or anything, just, stars, sorry, I can't speak correctly today," she says, hiding her face in her hands.
"Heh oh I know! You're Beatriz Star!"
He runs her fingers through her hair
"dang it must be hard being famous and all. That must suck im sorry"
A corner of Lure's mouth curves upward at CC's response. She glances as Beatriz, curious for her reaction. In her humble opinion, CC would've earned the stamp of approval.
