2 YEARS LATER

"Chelsea! Wake uppp!" Luna whined shaking me. I didn't want to expose my body to the blistering winds outside of my duvet. My bed was way too warm and cosy. I hate December. I love it too.

"We can't be late for university again! It's only Tuesday and you've already given up on the week!"

"I hate uni" I groaned and let out a big yawn as I sat up. The lectures are so long and boring and from where I sit, you can barely hear the instructor talk all the way from the back. I always have to talk to them after the lesson to know what the hell actually happened in class.

"I'm gonna buy us breakfast at the cafe when we get there, okay?" Luna said. I could tell she had just woken up also, she still had her normally tame bed-hair and PJs on.

"Alright, babes" I replied as I jumped out of bed. I went to bed wearing only my grey vest with matching shorts. I'll be wearing my onesie tonight for sure.

"We need some fresh air," Luna said opening my window. "I'm gonna get ready"

I did my morning stretches before heading to the bathroom to see if it was occupied. Hmm, Luna must be brushing her hair in her room or something. I better that I tell her I'm gonna shower first today.

"Lulu, I'm gonna hop in the shower real quick. Like 10, 15 minutes?"

"Okay!"

I turned on the hot and cold water taps on and adjusted them until the water felt just right - not too hot and not too cold. I let the water run as I began to undress myself.

It's been 2 years since I and my best friend, Lunafreya, had moved out of our care home, Elmtree House. Before we lived in a small council flat but we saved up enough money to start renting our own flat. We moved a few months back. We now live in Westminster, London. It's so far away from North Jesmond where the dumping ground is. I must say, the rent is pricey, but with our jobs, bursary, home allowance - it's all going soothingly.

Since all the rooms had white walls, we...well Luna, decided to have a white, grey, and black theme of our apartment. I didn't really care as she let me have the bigger room for her to decorate the house however she likes. It turned out pretty well...

 It turned out pretty well
