"Autumn, your presentation will be on Greek Mythology", a voice echoed from the hall. Footsteps walk towards a classroom seemingly in a rush. "Audrey, yours will-" The door opens, revealing a split dye-haired woman, makeup smeared, clad in a Tiffany Blue jumpsuit, gripping onto her bag.
"My apologies, Mrs. Shinobu. I'd overslept." "You're fine, Skye. Come, have a seat", Mrs. Shinobu continues, as Skye walks to the nearest desk. A man leans over to Skye to let her know her makeup's smeared, "Skye Fischer, right? Your makeup is smudged." "Oh! Thank you. I didn't notice", Skye whispers back, stuttering from embarrassment and using makeup remover, only reapplying lipgloss. "DeAngela, you're on North African, and Skye's on Roman. Now, this is a special kind of assignment, because you'll be traveling via plane. The other staff and I have already booked flights for all of you, all that's left for you is to board the plane on time. You all leave tomorrow." Mrs. Shinobu elaborates, and leaves the classroom. Followed by 5 others to leave the room, Skye rubs her eyes as she heads to her dorm to fall back asleep.
Next Day
As Skye's packing her essentials for her trip to Rome, her roommate, Liv, comes through the door, making Skye jolt. "Oh, hi, Skye", Skye was playing music out loud, making Liv cringe and cover her ears, trying to turn it down. "Sorry, I know you have Hyperacusis", Skye speaks up, realizing what's happening after spacing out for a brief moment. "It's fine", Liv assures as she walks over to lie in her bed. "Where are you going at this time of day?" Liv asks. It was 9:37 AM at the time, and Skye's already packed up, clothed in a short white long-sleeved dress with wedge sandals, three rings on each ring, middle, and index finger, eating rice with furikake seasoning. "I'm supposed to make a presentation on Roman mythology. I guess Mrs. Shinobu sends us to actual countries for real information instead of Wiki or other sites." "I mean... It's understandable. You can't find much on the internet 'credible'" "True", Skye chuckles. "Anyway, I'm just waiting until it's 5PM. That's one hour before my plane takes off." "Oh, then, just do something to kill time. I can set up the alarm for you", Liv offers. "Thanks, Liv. I think I'll draw for a bit", and Skye does exactly that. She, as a double major, is in business and fashion design. She plans on working a fashion line, and her skills are nothing short of impressive.
8 hours later
The alarm rings, and Skye immediately gets from her chair and grabs her luggage, slides her sandals on, and runs out the door.
