"Don't leave your apartment after midnight," They say, they should know I won't listen.
"Okay." I lie. Only one of us has to know who the true Kyra Vanderbilt is.

Kyra was the type of girl you see in movies. She was popular, beautiful, outgoing...

I felt myself hum to the steady rhythm of the soft indie music radiating within the room. College was going to be tough without Kyra, but I didn't even know what to say to her right now so it was irrelevant. I thought when I left that we were okay but we haven't spoken since she left.
I set a box of old books down as I recall the memory of Kyra and I lying under a big oak tree in a meadow on the outskirts of Brevard, we used to lay under the tree as I would recite quotes from famous books to Kyra. Her favorite quote was from Pride and Prejudice, "Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what others would think of us." Kyra always thought of that specific quote to be more truthful than most things that she has read. I realize how long it's been since either of us has visited that oak tree...
I took a step back and examined what was left to be done, I still needed to fold and put away two boxes of clothing and organize my shelves that were built-in to the dorm. I let out a breathy sigh and went back to work, picking up the box of books again I started to arrange them tastefully across one shelf.
I let the music consume my thoughts as I absently put away books, I didn't even hear my roommate enter...
My roommate was an interesting fellow, he had fiery red hair, ate mostly only energy bars, and had an odd obsession with indie music. He was quirky for sure but he had everyone's best interest at heart, that dude couldn't hurt a fly.
I noticed him sitting on his bed with his eyes closed and said, "Hey dude sorry that I didn't hear you come in. What are you up to?"
"Nothing bro just listening to my guides man."
It was times like this that I wished so badly that Kyra and I ended up at the same college and could have somehow been roommates... if that were the case then maybe I wouldn't be sharing a room with a burnout.
Maybe I will go visit her soon.
A/N: Hey guys! I am so so sorry that I haven't updated in like two months. I am going to try to start doing daily updates again. And I am sorry that this chapter is super short but it is another one of those filler chapters that I need. Love you guys!
