Circumstance (Kaylor)

Today Was A Fairy Tale

Slamming her door, Karlie walks over to her drawer and pulls out a cigarette. It's already getting dark at this time of year and as she blows the smoky air out of her window she lets her thoughts wander to miss Swift, Taylor. Soon enough all Karlie can imagine is her hand in Taylor's and all other sounds are blocked out of the girl's thoughts apart from that song that Taylor sung for her. A harsh and quick knock sounds on the door pulling Karlie away from her endless thought train. Opening the door reveals a blonde haired girl, not the one Karlie was hoping for but a new face.

"Hi, I'm Cara, I guess you could say I'm your neighbour", she smiles enthusiastically.

"Uh hi, Karlie".

"Woah you're American! So you're new then. Have you seen Mr Styles yet, he is so hot right?", Karlie does nothing but smirk at her forwardness.

"I saw him talking to Miss Swift, I don't see it if I'm honest". The memory of his flirtatious ways with her flash in the teenager's mind.

"Ah Miss Swift, another hotty". She lets out a sigh as if imagining.

"You like girls?"

"Of course, how can you not?"

"So we have something in common then..."

"You gonna invite me in or leave me out here in this cold corridor?" The taller of the two opens the door a bit more and gestures for Cara to come in.

The two talk for the rest of the night, even touching on Miss Swift. Both agree that she is hot and Cara even admitted she felt jealous that she was Karlie's tutor. Cara's accent is like magic to Karlie's ears, for some reason the American finds it soothing.

 As Cara is talking animatedly about all the types of cheese Karlie should try whilst in Britain, Karlie leans over to check the time.

"Shit, its 3 am, we have to be in class in 4 hours". The sentence comes out as a shriek from Karlie.

"Hey, can I crash here, my roommate is probably asleep", Cara says un-phased.

"Yeah sure, you can share the bed or sleep on the floor if you want".

"I think I'll take the bed". She winks and Karlie laughs again at her new founded friend's forwardness.

After crawling into bed an alarm is set for 6:30AM. Both girls, having accepted that tomorrow is going to be a rough day, agree that coffee will be needed and that they hopefully don't get any homework. Although Karlie's reason for that is different to Cara's, with no homework Miss Swift can begin teaching her guitar.

A harsh sound fills the room but Karlie's eyes feel like they are glued together. After peeling them open the girl reaches her long limb over to turn off the alarm but accidentally pokes a sleeping Cara in the eye instead.

"Ow what the fuck!" she exclaims.

Karlie laughs so much it hurts, she hasn't done that in a long time. "I'm so pfft sorry pfft I was reaching for the alarm". Cara too starts laughing but then suddenly pushes the other laughing girl off the bed.

"Oh you're going to pay for that, you won't know when it's coming but it is", Karlie says menacingly.

"Sure Kloss I'm so scared". The shorter girl mocks. "Right, you make yourself pretty, English first remember, and I will go and buy the coffee". She turns and leaves the room without so much as checking herself in the mirror.
