"Wait, why do we need to go again?" Asked Jess, as she adjusted the strap over her shoulder uncomfortably and shifted her body weight to her right leg since her left knee was aching.

Ellie frowned, tugging on Jess's sleeveless top harshly, causing the other female to stumble upon the tug. Looking back at the shorter female, Jess sighed and crossed her arms, her eyes boring into the male in front of her.

Sighing, Ellie stuffed her hands in her pockets, something she does very often now as a force of habit. Sticking her tongue out and her friend while her back was turned, she kicked the small pebbles on the roadside without  second thought.

Jess scratched her scalp, slightly itchy since she didn't wash her hair properly after a long day of uni and assignments that she had to stay up late to do, something she and Ellie did together.

"So we have to do this charity thing in these orphanages for?" Drawled Jess, untangling the locks of her brown hair lazily, struggling slightly due to her not brushing it in the morning due to the 'emergency'.

The male in front of her who was one of the seniors in their university, only being a year older than them huffed and handed her a piece of paper.

Once Ellie heard the sound of paper ruffling and crackling, she turned around and walked back to her roommate, quietly whistling and glancing at the paper.

Ellie raised her eyebrows. "So what deep shit have you got us in?" Ellie knew that Jess was no stranger to doing all sorts of trouble unintentionally since they both started university together.

Once out of curiosity she signed up for a baking class, but she didn't read that it costs $300 and Jess was broke for a whole week, although Ellie offered to lend her some money, her pride refused.

Then, during a exchange party arriving in their university coming from overseas offered them some pamphlets to go to their country for a full course. They wouldn't stop bugging Jess, who didn't care, and she signed it without even looking.

They had to go through a lot of trouble trying to get her out of the situation, but they ultimately succeeded.

Scratching her cheek, Ellie peered closer to look at the form that Jess had signed. It said to be a participation form to visit the orphanage and see the kids, playing with them on the way.

Ellie raised and eyebrow and scratched her neck, replying, "It doesn't seem to bad. We just gotta interact with them, right? I like kids so that should be fiiiiine." She said as she drawled on the 'fine'.

The three university students felt the mood dampen and they all looked to Jess who had a sullen expression, clenching her fist tightly until her knuckles turned white.

"I....hate kids."

Ellie felt her eyes flutter along with her thin eyelashes which were glossed with slight tears due to her crying helplessly before this because of her assignment that she suffered with for 2 hours.
