It was around 4 PM, and school was out for the day at Blackwell Academy, so now everyone was just hanging out, either In the hallways of the dormitory hall, or outside the school.

You were in your dorm, trying to catch up on the ginormous pile of homeworks sitting on your desk from other classes, rubbing your forehead in stress.

A small knock at your door brought you out of your work trance, and you spun around in your chair, looking over at the door. "Come in!" You call out.

Rachel pokes her head into the doorway, and then follows Max, Chloe, and Kate. You smile, looking up as Rachel comes up behind your chair, capturing your lips in a kiss. "Hey, baby."

Chloe sits on your bed with Kate, as Max sits on the small couch on the other side of the room. "We thought we'd all come and see you since you've been so busy this week." Kate says, her voice sweet and soft.

Chloe nods, looking around your room. "Glad I don't go to this shit hole anymore, is Blackhell still as bad as it was two years ago?" Kate and Rachel giggle, as Max rolls her eyes, smirking.

"You got kicked out, Clo. Remember?" Max says.

"Oh I remember, and I actually don't regret it." She replys, standing up and walking over to you, planting a kiss on the top of your head.

Kate gives you a half smile, her eyes a bit sad as she looks at you. "Have you been sleeping, honey? You look- " She starts, but Chloe cuts her off.

"What Katie Cat is trying to say is that you look like shit, babe." Chloe looks you up and down as she speaks, the toll the stress has taken on you is evident.

“Do I really look that bad?” You ask, looking up from the mountain of papers, staring at yourself in the reflection of your phone screen.

With a sigh, you throw the pencil down on top of the open notebook, pinching the bridge of your nose. “I’ve just been so fucking busy all week. It’s like one assignment after another, I seriously cannot keep up.” You give a bitter laugh, leaning all the way back into the rolling chair you were sat in, head pounding from all the thinking you’ve been doing the past three hours.
