"With Damson?", she questions. "Yes— now, please leave, so I could bathe." My hand obtains her arm, shoving her out of my room. "You're falling for him. Anni—", before she could conclude her sentence, the door shuts, and my body reduces to the floor, laying my back against the wall. I don't want to hear it. No way! I'm not falling for him!

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."

My mouth widen, as a light yawn descend from my lips. Light shone through the curtains, as my eyes struggled to stay open. I'm so exhausted. I hot-glue the black glittery letters on my large pink poster and add decorations. My door unlocks, as the knob turns. "Hey!"
"Danai, pass me the letters, I'm almost done.", my low voice responds, Danai yawns, as her hands gradually rank the batch of letters in my hand, and sits next to me. "Have you been doing this all night?"
My hand hot-glues the letters to my commission, as my body unhurriedly plunges to the floor, in defeat. "I finished.", I respond. Yay! "Behold— the captivating digital camera.", my eyes widen, and my gaze meets the pink digital camera. "Danai, are you serious?!"
"Yes, I got it for 178.34 rand!" {10 dollars} Oh my gosh! My body clambers, off the floor, as a radiant smile thrives on my lips. "This is going to be unforgettable!"
"The college experience!", Danai cheers, a light chuckle descends from my lips, as my smile broadens. "The college experience!"
"Enough with the chats. I need to plan for the infamous pool party.", Danai rolls her eyes, and lightly clutches my hand. "Annika, you must take a break. Your body is begging for it—please."
I roll my eyes, as my hand crams the red coffee mug to my lips. "I'll rest when I'm dead."
Danai rolls her eyes, and departs from my dorm room, as the door faintly shuts, my hands smooth the mug towards my lips. My chair cruises to my desk, and my eyes pivot target towards my silver MacBook. My hands press the shuffle button on my Apple Music Playlist, then pivot to my designing board. If I don't do this, who will?
