Skam Season 3 but in Brighton, UK.
"Look at how unlikely our meeting was. Look at the vastness of the universe encompassing all the things we think we know. Look at me, at us, together - Here and now. Isn't this some form of a miracle?" -N.M.Sanchez...
The music coming from the kitchen woke Charlie up. A quick look at the alarm clock on his bedside table told him that it was too early for a Sunday morning. He would never understand when exactly Evie sleeps. She goes to bed at unholy hours and then wakes up with the rooster.
He turned around and realised that the bed beside him was empty. And cold. He rubbed his eyes to try to wake himself up and looked again at the ruffled sheet. He didn't dream that Isaac was there. He knew as much, but now... he was gone.
Charlie straightened up and looked around the room but his shoes were gone. He was about to get up when he noticed a little piece of paper on Isaac's pillow. He immediately remembered the last note that he left him, which was now pinned on the board above Charlie's desk.
He took the little note and smiled at the handwriting. Sure, it didn't explain why he choose to leave without telling him but... there was that at least. And he couldn't be mad at him, that note was adorable and would definitely end up on the board with the other.

Putting the note on his bedside table, Charlie got up and put a shirt back on. Then, he left his room and went to the kitchen, where Evie was reading, moving to the music, while her sister was baking something.
"Oh, hey, Lie. Finally hungry?" Evie asked.
"No... Your music woke me up."
"It's almost 10 and you spent all yesterday sleeping, I think you'll be fine." She laughed.
Charlie grabbed a yogurt in the fridge while his coffee was in the making. Evie and Winnie exchanged a look and Evie put down her book.
"So was that... Isaac, right?" She said, watching Charlie's reaction. "We met him on his way out. Seemed nice enough."
Charlie almost choked on his yogurt when he heard that. So he didn't leave in the middle of the night and he saw this flatmate. Hm...
"He was at the school play thingy party, wasn't he?" Evie added.
"Oh yeah... He was... hm... He's a friend. Like just a friend... He... He was drunk and couldn't go home because of his parents so I said he could stay here."
Evie nodded but clearly, she wasn't too sure that was the truth. Charlie noticed her skepticism and rolled his eyes.
"Fine."
He grabbed his coffee and went back to his room, just not ready for Evie's interrogation and suspicious looks.
