Guys Lily wrote something. Most was written earlier in today. But yeahfffffffffffffffffffffffffff.

No comment on the first two paragraphs. Hehe.

Day

Lily woke up as they did any other day. Their brain suddenly turned on, and they groaned. They snuggled deeper into their covers, but the shrill alarm still sounded from their phone. And that phone - it was all the way across the room. Why had she put it their again? Oh, yeah. For moments like these, when she just wanted to sleep forever. It was so warm though. Why did she have to get up?

Lily lay in bed pondering her existence, and eventually the phone silenced itself. He drifted off for...who knows how long. When his brain next awoke, he took in a breath. Crap, was he late? He sat up - pushing aside the blankets - and fumbled for his glasses. He got them on and set his feet on the cold floor as they got out of bed. They rushed to their phone and hurriedly tapped the screen a few times until the screen lit up. Crap. He had less than ten minutes before he had to get to class.

She grabbed the outfit she'd thankfully had the mind to set out last night before collapsing in bed and changed into it. She brushed her teeth - but didn't have time to eat anything - and then looked at her backpack. She hadn't packed it. Her computer was still on her desk - unplugged - and various folders and textbooks in a messy pile as well. Well, she didn't need it all, right? She just had to get to Statistic...so all she needed was her Stats folder, a pencil, and probably her calculator. Oh, and her phone and - if she had time - her water bottle. Lily gathered these items up and stumbled out of her dorm room. She ran down the hallway - clutching the folder and calculator to her chest, water bottle held to her side by her arm, and phone in hand. As she used her elbow to open the door to the outside, Lily shivered. She was wearing a crop top. In the middle of winter.

Lily looked at her phone - trying not to drop everything. There was no time to go back for a hoodie. As it were, she would just barely make it to class. She might even be a minute late. She shivered at the thought - or maybe it was just the bitter wind attacking her exposed skin. As the minute ticked up on her phone, Lily made haste to her class. Her Stats class wasn't the furthest away, but certainly wasn't as close as some.

Whole body shaking, Lily opened the door - leaning against it - and was greeted with ... slightly warmer air. It was never warm in this place. That, or it was so hot she could barely think.

Lily walked up the stairs, down the hallway, and opened the door to her Stats class. One or two people looked up, yawning, but overall no one seemed to care. Just another day at college. Lily's usual seat was taken, so she frantically looked for a place to sit as she felt her calculator slipping. There. The one empty seat - well, the only one near the edge of the room. Lily let out a sigh of relief as she set her stuff down on the desk and took a seat. There was a woman sitting next to her - Lily didn't know her name. She didn't know anyone's names.

Lily's professor - who had clearly been waiting for her to show up - began speaking. "Alright everyone, let's talk about z-scores..."

* * *

Lily packed up after her Stats professor finished trying - and failing - to engage half-awake students in a subject most of them hated. Lily didn't hate Statistics - or math in general - but she was just so tired, and had found her focus drifting. She had filled another few pages with random doodles and a few poems to pass the time, like she often did.

As Lily stood up to head out the door, the woman she'd been sitting next to spoke. "Hey," she said.

Lily could hear the shyness in her voice. She related to that so much it was painful.

The woman continued, fidgeting with her hoodie strings. "Uhm, I saw your drawings. They were really cool."

Was she...blushing? No, it was probably just the cold. "Oh, uhm, cool," Lily said. "What was your name again?"

"Amy," she said. "You're Lily, right?"

"Yeah."

After an awkward pause, Amy spoke. "Uhm, Lily, do you wanna eat lunch with me?"
