Snippet #2223140

Sleeping was exactly what Franki needed. She remembered changing into pajamas, laying down underneath her covers, and then instantly fell asleep. She awoke though, unfortunately, to the sun beating in through a high window straight down over her face. Of course, Franki, you get the bed with direct access to the window. She rolled over several times, burying her head underneath her pillow, before finally accepting defeat.

You win this time, sun.

Slowly sitting up, Franki ran a hand through her short locks, her fingers catching on a few knots. The other girls in the room were asleep, dead to the world, it seemed. She opted to shower, hoping the other two wouldn't wake and be cross with her for making too much noise. She pushed her way out of bed and shuffled into the bathroom. It took her six minutes to shower. Always six.

She never understood what girls were doing in there that required them to shower for over an hour. What else is there to do besides soap, shampoo, and maybe shave a little? Living with all boys, Franki was used to the in-and-out method to showering. Living with girls would deem difficult, she was sure. She already fudged up with two. Might as well give up on making any girl friends for now.

Franki shook out her damp hair, the strands falling around her ears. She hardly ever brushed her hair now that she had cut it short. It was wonderful. She ran a hand through her hair, messing up the tendrils until the pieces fell in random waves. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt with a button up over it. She rolled up the sleeves and left the front unbuttoned.

Her brothers always told her that she dressed like a dude. And she liked it that way. She was comfortable. She wasn't going to squeeze her way into too tight jeans and a skimpy top just so she could "look like a woman". She had been forcing herself into itchy tights, and uncomfortable leotards for years. Comfort was her mind was at now.

Franki quickly pushed her way out of the room and into the common room, hoping to find her bag. She sifted through the couches, lifting pillows, moving tables and chairs, trying to find where the blasted thing had gone. She finally found it, lodged between a globe, and a fake plant. She shook her head and slipped the object over her head letting the strap rest on her shoulder.

She checked the time: 8:09. I wonder if the cafeteria is serving breakfast yet... She opened the door to, to be greeted by a slip of paper requesting the students meet at the Auditorium at noon. She stared at the page for a few minutes before finally wondering off, downstairs, to the cafeteria.

She was pleased to hear voices coming from the large room, glad that they were indeed serving breakfast. The smell of bacon hit her nose, and her stomach grumbled. She stepped inside, not even paying attention to who was in the room, and made a b-line for the food line.

She piled her plate high. Three eggs, two pieces of toast, three pancakes, a giant glass of orange juice, and a mountain of bacon. She happily made her way into the main room, and quickly found the only people in the cafeteria. She grinned at the sight of Atomsk and Kael, but her happiness faltered slightly at the sight of Erin.

Franki sighed. She had tried to fix their... relationship?, but Erin had thrown it back in her face. She had her reasons, of course, but the brunette wasn't so sure that she and Erin would ever be proper friends. Deciding to at least be friendly, Franki put a smile on her face and stepped over to the table, plopping down next to Atomsk.

"Morning guys," She said happily, already pulling a part a piece of bacon to munch on.
