LOU HAD THE displeasure of waking up to her roommate loudly entering their shared apartment.

The two-bedroom place was a cheap one that Lou had managed to snag when first arriving in the city, thanks to an old acquaintance of her father's that knew about the tenant free place. She'd decided on a roommate after a few months, not liking living alone, and halving the rent gave Lou a nice monthly saving.

Donna was a nice girl, differently from Lou, who had lived only in big cities, Donna came from a small town in Indiana, and it could be said she was enjoying her college experience to the fullest.

It wasn't often that she was loud when returning home, but it did happen on occasion, and today was one of those days.

Lou got up, a quick glance toward her clock showed the time of six am, a bit early for her since she only had afternoon classes, and her shift at the diner only began at eight, but she wouldn't able to return to sleep.

In the living room, Donna was currently using the couch for support as she took off her heels, encountering a bit of trouble since they were high boots.

"Do you need help?"

Donna got startled and almost fell to the ground as the first of the boots came off, but managed to stabilize herself. "Lou! Did I wake you up? I'm sorry."

Lou shook her head, dismissing her worry. "It's fine, I had to get up anyway."

Donna sat on the sofa, hugging the boot she'd taken off to her chest like a child would a plushie, and Lou sat next to her. Lou saw the zipper and sighed, simply unzipping it.

"There. You would've had a much easier time if you remembered the zipper."

Donna's eyes widened, and she lifted her leg, staring at her stock clad feet. "You're a genius, Lou."

Lou fought her amusement. "No, I'm just sober."

"You should've come with me yesterday, it was so much fun!"

"I have work today at eight."

Donna pouted at her, dropping the boot that had been in her grasp to cross her arms. "Do you love your job more than me?"

Lou laughed, shaking her head. "No, but I do love money more than you."

"So mean!"

Lou grabbed Donna by the arms and helped her get up, supporting the taller girl as she stumble to her room, where Lou placed Donna on her bed, and the blonde was asleep before her even head hit the pillow, still dressed in her mini dress and with a face full of makeup that would probably make her resemble a raccoon once she woke up.
