Paint Me - S.M

2. Coming Home

I groaned, hitting a notebook lightly on my head. It had sticky notes, flagged pages and tags sticking out of the sides. My brain was absolutely dead. Excessive studying had finally taken its the toll on me.

Well, not finally.

I think I'm suffering from lack off seeing my boyfriend.

Shawn.

Oh shut up. He's most likely busier than you are stop complaining.

I usually never took naps during study hours but today was the day that I succumbed and ended up flopping on my bed. My eyes fluttered shut and I soon fell into a deep sleep, my desk filled with textbooks and notes while Jordanne's was covered in gossip magazines and issues of Teen Vogue.
...
"Haley? Sweetie, wake up."

A voice broke into my walls.

My eyes opened to see my best friend and roommate, Jordanne Anelie looking worriedly at me. Her arm was shaking my shoulder violently, something was happening.

"Yeah?" I muttered, rubbing the sleepiness away from my face.

"Honey, do you want dinner?" she asked.

I nodded absent-mindedly, craving a huge box of pizza.

A smile broke out on Jor's face. "Great! Malia's ordering KFC to the dorms. Her and Suri will be over any minute, go change into something comfy," she said, gesturing to my skinny jean clad legs before skipping to my closet and tossing out a pair of pink booty shorts at me.

Unfortunately for me, Jordanne's aim absolutely sucks so it hit me square in the face.

Her laugh rang out seconds later.

I felt extremely personally attacked.
...
"So can you believe that Erin McAllister stole Almira Munsi's Kylie Cosmetics'? Just because someone doesn't let you copy off their test doesn't mean you can do that," Malia ranted on about Erin.

Erin was pretty much a less hot version of Naomi Xaiver. She was just as sly and as cunning as Naomi, she only made it more known. Naomi knew how to gage and she did plenty of research before pulling anything on her enemies. Erin bit off a teensy bit more than she could swallow, she never thought twice before blurting out or firing at someone.

"Poor Almira! Did she get it back?" Suri piped in, she shovelled popcorn chicken down her throat and nearly choked.

Malia shook her head. "It isn't with Erin but it's with their dorm monitor. I'm so glad we don't stay in the same dorms."

We all agreed.

Erin was a tyrant.

"Everyone says Almira will get her makeup back at the end of the semester but it's only a rumor."

"That's the best gossip you've got?" Jordanne shot at Suri and Malia.

Our friends' narrowed their eyes at the redhead

"I mean like...rumor has it that Naomi Xaiver is paying a visit to campus," Jordanne spoke with a strained voice, as if she didn't want it to be true.

A lump formed in my throat.

Ex girlfriend coming back to campus is not going to sit well with me.

The tension in the room escalated immediately. There was already tight tension because we had been....discussing campus affairs but now, I could slice through it with a knife.

"No....."
"What for?! Hasn't she done enough?"

I finally breathed out.

"Jordanne!" Malia yelled, fury evident in her tone.

Jordanne put her hands up in the air. "I'm sorry! I just wanted to let you guys know! I'm not on her side, promise!"

"Then how did you know?" Suri shot back, clearly unconvinced and upset.

We all disliked Naomi but she was the biggest talk of campus, her arrival would have stirred a ruckus, it was quite a surprising that only Jordanne had heard of it.

"I overheard Felicity's conversation with Rachel the other day," she started.

Naomi's ex dorm monitor.

Malia waved her hand dismissively. "When is she coming back?"

"I'm not very sure-"

"They would have said so."

"I estimate around the time when-"

"You have to have heard something."

"Most likely when finals are o-"

"STOP IT!"

I yelled.

The girls' froze, jaws open and eyes wide. They slowly returned to normal.

"When she she coming back?" I repeated Malia's question.

Jordanne sucked in a deep breath.

"Soon."
