Chapter 2 - It's a party in the USA

*Carm's P.O.V.*

Elise and I are sitting in my room, packing my suitcases. One is already full of clothes and such, you know, the essential things. The other has my camera, tripod, lighting gear and such in it.

"Knee-high socks with the little pink bows at the top?"

"Are you kidding? Of course I'm taking those."

I tuck them in next to my converse, and we continue going through my stuff.

"You've already got a place in L.A. right?"

"Yeah, I found an apartment already. My cousin's husband is the landlord, so they gave me half off. Living on my own is still going to be expensive though."

"I guessed." she giggled. "Promise me that you won't be living off just condensed milk and ramen once I'm not there to make sure you eat right?"

"No promises." She smiles, and I let out a laugh.

"My sleeping schedule's probably going to help the skype situation though. 21 hours apart. It's a distance, alright."

"For once that actually might come in handy." she agrees. 

"Promise you won't end up putting your unfortunate new flatmate through holding your hair as you barf up all the tequilas you drink on a night out."

"You think I enjoy that either?" she bursts out laughing. Elise is still studying chemistry at Vic, she is a smart cookie. But that never stops her from partying too hard.

"And that's Suitcase #2." Elise flops down, lying on her back on the floor, and I do the same.

"Can we take a break from packing now?" she asks, somewhat tired.

"We've only got to pack my backpack from here. So yeah, I guess it's fine if we do."

Elise pops up and runs off in her onesie to the kitchen. By the time I get out there, she's already started on the cookie dough.

"Chocolate chip, this time." she explains, still staring down at the bowl. "We're gonna eat a tonne of cookie dough and watch Scream Queens."

"Alrighty, but we need some music to listen to while we're baking." I pull out my phone and put my Spotify on shuffle. The first thing to come up is "Party In The USA", which is indeed appropriate due to my impending departure to L.A. I start singing along, half-heartedly dancing in the kitchen while handing Elise the appropriate ingredients. Soon enough, Elise is singing too, By the time it hits the chorus, we're both all-out singing, acting ridiculous. Elise's hair is all messed up again, due to headbanging.

"Alright well the cookie dough is finished. Shall we put on some Scream Queens?"

I grab the bowl off Elise and fall down on the couch.

"Ready."

She scoffs and turns the tv on, and Scream Queens comes on.

I think she's going to be the only thing I'll miss around here.
