"Are we there yet?" An exasperated Audrey asked. "It seems like we've been walking around in circles."

"No, for the 50th time, we are NOT there," Jay groaned under her weight. Carrying Audrey had proved to be inefficient so he had switched to carrying Audrey on his back.

"Ugh," she sighed. "I'm so tired."

"Ok, we're done," Jay said.

"Wait what do you-oof!" Jay placed Audrey on a nearby rock and sat next to her. "Why are we stopping?"

"Because it's late, we have no idea where we're going, and my muscles ache," Jay stated.

"Ugh fine. Then I guess we'll just get some rest." Audrey sighed. "At least the rain stopped."

Jay let out a humorless laugh. "Not before we got soaked to the bone."

Audrey rolled her eyes. "I'm trying to be optimistic."

"Yeah well I'm exhausted so my optimism ran out."

"Whatever," Audrey sighed. "Why do I even try? Goodnight." Audrey turned around and laid on the ground, her back to Jay.

"Audrey, really?" Jay asked. This girl will be the death of me, he thought.he looked over at Audrey's peaceful sleeping form and smiled. Or maybe not...

Mal awoke well rested and to peace and quiet. She found it odd that there was absolute silence. She looked around the room and sure enough the other girls were gone.

"What time is it?" Mal yawned. She reached over for her phone and saw that the time read 9:47. "Crap!" She said, jumping out of bed.

Breakfast ended at 9 and her first class had started at 9:30. No wonder her roommates were nowhere to be seen. Mal had overslept and was already late on her first day.

She scrambled around, trying to look semi decent and grabbed her bag from the floor. She ran out of her room and into something solid.

"Woah there," the guy said.

Mal looked and saw that she had ran straight into Evan.

"Sorry, I guess I wasn't looking Mal said.

Evan chuckled. "Nah, its good. Why in such a hurry?"

"Cuz I'm late to my art class. I overslept."

"Oh well then I won't keep you longer," Evan smiled. "See you 'round." Evan walked and waved at her. "Hopefully soon," he winked.

Mal blushed. No, stop it Mal! That's not why you're here. Art! And only art!

Mal looked back at Evan's retreating figure. Maybe a little fun wouldn't hurt.
