Curious Adventurer

S2

"Thanks mom, love you." Pennie hugs her mom before she enters the car and goes back home.

Today was her first day inside the college. There was a dorm there, so she asked her mother to live there for at least a year.

Mrs. Leyton is now her mother. Johnny died, but so did Mr. Leyton. She had to do it. She sees how worth it everything was now. Having to kill the best people in her life before was hard, but now she just let's happiness be felt in her heart.

She felt free, getting sent off to college, she does appreciate Mrs. Leyton's efforts to be a great mother, but she just felt better knowing that she was now an adult, and starting college.

She thought of it as a new life, with no stains of her past. Without it, she would be perfect. She worries about how she would tell people her past, but she decided to not lie, and just leave out parts that are bad.

Everything was ready now, she had already placed her bed, cleaned the place, and put her clothes wear she should. She's done all that, so she got hungry. She calls up her father, who was living near, she chose the college because of that, to have lunch.

"Dr. Richardson, can we have lunch?"

Pennie has accepted the fact that he was a father figure to her, whether he actually was her biological father or not. Mrs. Leyton still doesn't know about him though, it would be too difficult for them to say.

Pennie walked her way to the Cafe the two were going to eat lunch, she was excited to see her father. Pennie ordered a sandwich and coffee, so did Dr. Richardson. The two strated talking about how excited Pennie is about college, and how he knew she would do well in it.

"You pay." Dr. Richardson says, no reaction, just saying his words.

"You've got more than me." Pennie says, trying to stop him from making her pay.

"When will I ever get something free from you?" She asks a rhetorical question, making the man giggle a bit.

After that, she went back to the dorm, introducing herself to her roommate she had just seen now, sitting in her chair that her mother bought.

"Hi, I'm Pennie." She says, letting her hand out of the side, expecting to shake hands with the person. They were reading a fashion magazine, and seeing the boxes, she obviously has done nothing to organize the place.

"Carol." She answers, she didn't even look at her. At least now Pennie knows she has an obnoxious roommate.

"I'll go now." Pennie tells Carol. Pennie moves away from her, then goes back to her room, to sit and relax from a tiring day.

She can't help but think about her new roommate, thinking that she should've just killed her at the exact moment she flipped that hideous magazine. She fell asleep with her thoughts, even dreaming about it.

It's now the time to go class, it's the first day of classes. For a good morning, Pennie was greeted by her lovely roommate banging plates to the sink, with no intent of washing it.

She looks like she still had makeup from last night, probably was from a party, that got her drunk and all tired.

Pennie got a bowl, and ate some cereal for breakfast. Her roommate just sat there, using her phone. Pennie finished eating, then washed all the dishes. Carol got up to go to her room, so did Pennie.

Carol got into the bathroom, just right before Pennie almost did. She hated her roommate so much she wants to take her out for good.

Pennie got ready for class right after Carol, although she was a good minute early, she had a hard time breathing, from climbing up the stairs and running so fast.

She was in the same class as her, it irritated Pennie so much having to spend so much time with a person who acts the way Carol does.

Carol sat beside her. Pennie couldn't even breathe properly anymore. She was hoping so much for this person to not talk at all, not just to her but to everyone else.

Pennie tried so hard to focus in class, but her seatmate keeps on chewing on their gum, and tapping the table with their pen so much she couldn't even hear what the professor was talking about.

She rushed out of class when it finished. Carol sat there for awhile, talking to a boy behind them, which prevented Pennie even more from hearing anything actually valuable.

"That girl was annoying." Pennie heard the man's sentence, not realizing that he was talking to her.

"Yeah, she's my roommate." Pennie says, making the man laugh at her.

"Johnny." The man introduces himself. He had the same name as her friend from before. He also had black hair, and glasses. He did seem like how Johnny would've looked like if he had the chance to grow up.

"Pennie." She reciprocates. He nods, and give her a smile.

"I have a class, bye." Johnny says, then rushed out of the crowd, going to his next class.

Pennie reaches for her phone, calling her father, for another lunch, knowing that he had nothing to do. She needed someone to actually tell her frustrations to.

"I have a roommate, Carol. First, I introduced myself, she said her name, but she didn't even look at me. Then, she left her dishes and I had to wash it. She sat there and sat there. When I needed to take a shower, she rushed just before I got in. Then, in class she sat beside me, and did everything but let me focus, or even hear anything. She's so annoying, she did all that. I didn't know what to do." Pennie tells Dr. Richardson.

"You know what you should do."
