HOUSTON, TX
I could hear the soft sound of snoring distinctly, colliding with the sound of the blasting air conditioning in my dorm room. My body was snuggled deeply into the mattress topper of my twin XL bed. My arms snuggled around the pillow that rested underneath my head, and my legs snuggled around the pillow that rested between my legs. I always slept with a pillow between my legs, it replicated the warmth of a human body sometimes and would provide me solace in my resting place. As a soft sleeper, I could hear Jungkook mumbling in his sleep, soft nothings. His small snores and muffled ruffles as he rolled around in his bed. I felt comfortable, hoping that I would have at least a few more hours of sleep. However, that comfort was short-lived.
My dorm room door flung open and the sound of clanging pots forced me awake. "Wakey wakey, freshy," I heard someone shout. As I sat up, slightly panicking, I could only see two figures in my room before the curtains to my room were spread apart, revealing the two girls in HTSU merchandise. "The fuck-" I uttered, rubbing my eyes as my vision began to clear.
"Get on up, girl. It's freshman week, no sleeping in." One of the girls shouted, realization slowly settling into me. I groaned. This school had a tradition of getting a large group of upperclassmen to ease the incoming freshmen into their first year of college by forcing them to participate in social events and campus functions. "You got til' 7:30 to be downstairs, freshman," the brown skin girl, with tribal braids said. "And don't be trying to get back in bed, 'cause we good at coming back," the other chimed in shortly after as the group turned to head out. I just nodded quietly, letting them know I was now fully awake before they all fully exited my room and went to go bother some other poor unfortunate souls. I sighed, removing the covers off of my body, and adjusting myself to the edge of my bed. I allowed myself a quick stretch after slipping my feet into my slippers.
However, through all of the chaos, Jungkook managed to still sleep peacefully. His snores grew louder by the second, and as I had already dealt with enough noise for the morning, I just hung up on him. I decided to just begin preparing for the day, knowing that if I had slipped back in bed, I'd only be found and woken up again for the day.

To finish up with my appearance, I sprayed a few spritzes of black opium perfume on to match scents with the matching, shimmering lotion that I had on. I stood in the middle of my room, looking at myself in the mirror. I was wearing denim jorts that perfectly fit my body type, a cropped hockey jersey, and my sambas. My braids were flipped to the side, and to accessorize, I decided on my chrome hearts necklace and some stud earrings. It was the first day to really pop out, so I knew everyone was gonna be putting on their best pieces to walk the quad. I nodded at my appearance before going to look at my phone for the time.
7:19 AM.
I removed the phone from the charger before heading towards my door, preparing to exit when I heard my phone chime. I looked down at it to see a message from 'bestie :)'.
