too the cold metal handle as she fumbled too put her keys in.

' fuck~fuck, fuck! ' she whispered yelled as her mouth was increasingly dry due to the weed almost coursing through her.

She heard a scarily familiar voice from around the corner, walking closer.

a sharp croatian voice rung out from down the hallway, walking closer.

Nika was talking to her family, unknowing to the girls distress just around the hall, as she got closer to turning the corner.

Darla panted as her almost bloodshot eyes widened,

she jammed the keys harder, seemingly not helping as whispered curses escaped her lips.

She heard the brunettes voice get closer and she internally panicked, remembering the texts that were sent back and forth just a few hours ago.

click.

the sound rung out in her ears repeating before she realized that was the door too her and azzis shared dorm unlocking.

She shoved the door open as she heard the girls voice then the corner, quickly shutting it and sliding down against the door.

nika's voice still echoed in her ears as she sat slumped against her door. her heart pounded in her chest, her breaths coming in shallow, panicked gasps.

she heard footsteps approaching, footsteps that could only belong to one person. nika.

darla held her breath, praying that the other girl would simply walk by without realizing she was there.

but nika's footsteps halted just outside the door, stopping right in front of it. darla's heart nearly stopped when she heard 3 slow knocks.

azzi emerged from the bathroom, looking down at her with concern.

" what the hell are you doing? " she asked, her voice filled with confusion.

darla jumped at the sound of her voice, her heart still racing from the near-encounter with nika.
" w-what? " she stuttered out, trying to pretend everything was normal.

" w-wait, wait... wait ? " Azzi said slowly as darla looked up at her, eyes red and hands layed flat on the hardwood, almost gripping it.

" are you high?" Azzi said softly,

The girl on the grounds eyes shot up too azzis,
darla hesitated for a moment, unsure how to respond.

but the look in azzi's eyes said she already knew the answer. darla leaned her head on the door, avoiding her gaze.
" maybe. " she finally admitted, her voice quiet. " a little bit. "

azzi smirked, taking in the sight of her high friend.

" you are so adorable. " she said, her tone a mix of amusement and tenderness.
" how much did you smoke, girl? you look like you're about to have a panic attack. "

" uh, i-, just a bit but.." Darla said slowly letting her voice trail off.
darla turned her head anxiously as she got up staring at the door as she leaned into azzi.

" I almost ran into Nika." Darla whispered giggling, trying to push away her fast heartbeat.

azzi's eyes widened in surprise, realization dawning on her face.
" wait a minute. is that why you're in here freaking out? because you almost ran into her while you're high off your ass? "
she started laughing softly, unable to contain her amusement.
