A Double Truth

Chapter 1

After a long day at the University of London, Skye finally arrives at the flat she shared with her best friend Piper.

"Gosh, it's so cold outside!" Skye exclaims, "Piper, help me with this week's stock? Some people coming over later to get their monthly supply and to study."

After her parents had disowned her, Skye has been doing whatever she can to get money to pay for her tuition. Being one of the campus' friendly neighborhood drug dealer, she had everything students needed to succeed in the highly competitive academic atmosphere that was the University of London. From study guides for the mid-term to drugs to help students study, she was every students go to for study help.

Just as Skye and Piper finish packing the drugs into separate bags, their classmates began to arrive, ready to study.

"Hey Camille, Moira. We just got a new batch of Adderall and Ritalin. You guys want some?" Skye asks.

Camille shakes her head, "No thanks, but do you think Piper still has some zombie pills? I really want a good night's sleep after the mid-terms."

Piper barrels out of the kitchen at the sound of Camille's request "Yes I doooo! I've got Ambien, Lunesta, Rozererm―"

"I know, Piper! You must've told me a thousand times," Camille interrupts her, laughing, "Just give me the one that can knock me out the fastest."

"Here," Piper says, handing Camille a plastic bag full of pills, "It's on me. If you really want a boost, just drink a bit of vodka with it,"

"Gotcha. Thanks, Piper!"

A few hours later, as the others leave, Skye gets ready for bed. Pulling her pajamas on she jumps onto her bed.

"Ow," Skye exclaims, "Who's computer is this, Piper?"

"I'm pretty sure it's Camille's," Piper responds.

"I'll just go return it to her right now, it's not too late." 

Skye arrives at Camille's house, noticing that the lights are already turned off. So, she drops the laptop into the mailbox. 

Right before she gets in her car, Skye bumps into Devin who is on his way to his flat. They have a quick exchange and Skye starts to go home. 

She arrives home to find Piper crashed on her bed. On the kitchen counter, she sees a bit of vodka left in the bottle and decides to finish it off. Within minutes, she falls onto the couch, exhausted after her long night.
