Hallie

Slumping into the nearest bed, Hallie scrunched her wet white strands in he3r fists and closed her eyes. It had happened before, plenty, so the embarrassment wasnt the issue. The issue was she had sworn she had her emotions in check. How had she succumbed so easily here? And of all people her roommate. The act seemed fine enough (especially since he was decent enough to not let anything actually occur) but now he was going to act awkward, sending her all his awkward feelings so it would turn into an awkward fest. She greatly despised people and their fickleness. They kissed. So what? Like it ?eant anything...

James lounged against the dorm door, watching her. "You okay now or do I have to call someone?"

"Perfectly sane," she muttered, not revealing how much pressure from the other dorms she was receiving. For the first time, she missed her old house, the giant mansion built for 12 but housing 3. Plenty of room for emotions to run free without interferring with her own. "I'm goin' to sleep."

After a moment, James nodded. "I get it. Gotta build up stamina for next time."

Hallie then proceeded to pelt him with pillow missiles until he surrendered and dove onto his own bed for sleep.
