Co-Ed Room 1

[Elite]

Cino sat on the bed simply staring up at the ceiling. Well he'd been here for a while, perhaps things would start picking up soon. With a deep sigh, he felt himself fall back upon the bed and relax for a moment. His red hair fell in front of his face, however he didn't bother to brush it away. Something felt wrong...in a moment he realized he was slipping off the bed. In a slight panic, Cino tried to gain his ground upon the bed, however the sheets and blankets were a bit more slippery as his coat began to increase the amount he was sliding. With a bit of an "Oomph." Cino found himself with a number of blankets draped over his shoulder on and top of his head. Certainly not what he had in mind for relaxing.

“You alright?” Charlize asked absently, her attention concentrated on the handheld console in her hands, her Nintendo DS-3. She was currently sat cross-legged on her own bed, her thumbs bashing away at the consoles buttons. The room was silent. Every now and then muttering and a few quiet curses could be heard coming from her general direction but other than that the room was relatively quiet.

“Aw, crap.” She frowned lightly as the screen went blank and the words ‘Game Over’ flashed brightly in her face. Throwing the console to the end of her bed, she moved so that her legs were hanging over the edge and then stretched her arms up over her head.

“You want a drink?” She managed to mumble through a yawn and before Cino could answer, she was already up and moving to the smell kitchenette situated in the corner of their large dorm room.

Quietly she went about pouring herself and Cino a drink. Once made she wondered over to the boy sat huddle beneath layers of sheets besides his bed and handed him the glass of orange juice, before moving back to her own bed.

“Can’t sleep?” Charlize asked as she placed her drink down on the small cabinet besides her bed. Pulling out one of the cabinet draws, she began to dig around in it - smiling once she pulled out the item she had been searching for.

The 17 year-old then went about plugging the small black charger into the socket on the wall behind her cabinet, she hooked the other end up to her DS-3. Once that little matter had been taken care of she shuffled up her bed so that her back was left resting against the head-board, crossed her ankles together and picked up her orange juice.

“I’m not tired.” She added. Okay so she was tired. But she couldn't sleep. Her mind was just too busy for her to even attempt to get any shut eye.

Slowly removing the few covers and blankets that had befallen his head, he placed them neatly on top of his bed while he heard a voice that wasn't too enthused but aware of what was going on. He had almost forgotten Charlize was lounging around as well. They had both been so quiet he was caught up in his own bit of thought and silence. "Ah...yeah I'm fine." He mumbled as he sat back down on the edge of his bed. Emerald eyes slowly looked over as the girl seemed to be frustrated slightly at the game she was playing. Apparently it wasn't something she wanted to deal with at the momen. A few moments later she had asked him if he wanted something to drink, however before he could even open his mouth she was already gone and in the small litle kitchen in their dorm.

He took the glass from her as he swirled the contents around for a moment before taking a drink. He raised an eyebrow slightly at the can't sleep comment. He would've thought by now she knew he didn't sleep well at all. Perhaps she just didn't notice it. He shrugged slightly. "I guess not." He watched as she dug around a small cabinet for a moment before pulling out a charger for her game. "I think the answer for both of us is boredom." He chuckled slightly taking another sip from the glass. His thoughts fell short for a moment. "Perhaps..." He stopped for a moment. "...you would like to go somewhere." His voice began to grow quiet as he talked. He knew she liked to party and such. It wasn't something he did on a regular basis, however he could at least ask her. She was a friend.

“It’s late..” Charlize mumbled through fingers as she rubbed her palms over her face. “..but I guess we could go do something.”

Normally Charlize was up for doing anything if it meant she wasn’t sat around, bored. But as of late she’d sort of been void of any energy. She hadn’t done much over the past week and hadn’t slept well at all since she had come here.

'Might as well go do something productive. Might tire me out'

Hopping off of the bed once again, Charlize picked up a pair of baby blue sweats she had dumped on the floor earlier and pulled them up over her PJ shorts. After that she pulled on a pair of blue fluffy slipper boots that reached her calves. It got pretty cold at night and she didn’t want to be walking around in only her shorts and a tank top.

“What do you have in mind?” She whispered as she pulled on and zipped up the blue sweat jacket that went along with her sweat pants.

‘I look like a smurf.’ was her idle thought as she caught sight of herself in a mirror across the room. She didn’t care though. She liked the colour blue. It was her favourite after all.

Cino sat silent on the bed for a moment as Charlize gave her answer. He wasn't disappointed by her answer, however felt a slight perk of excitement when she conceded. It wasn't a very large spark, but it was noticable at least to him for someone who was passive most of the time. He watched as she began pulling a few things on for the journey outside. Of course he never changed much except his Kimono. He would wash his coat as well, but most of the time nobody saw him without it on. He noticed a similar trend in all of her clothes. They were blue. Not that he didn't like blue, he simply grinned on the inside to himself at his friend. "I haven't thought that far." He rubbed his red hair for a moment before watching her stride over to the mirror. "You look good." He hoped it cheered her up a bit. She seemed a bit down for some reason.

[Mookie]

“Thanks.” Charlize half smiled at Cino’s comment. She must’ve looked and sounded really down for Cino to notice. She needed to snap out of it.

“Okay, so.” she started whilst pulling her hair back into a high pony-tail. “We could just go walk around the campus for a bit.” It was a little after 12 am and most people would still be in bed but Charlize didn’t mind and didn’t think Cino would either. All she wanted to do is clear her head and maybe get in a little exercise to tire her out. Walking around would do.

Once Charlize had tied back her hair, she quietly walked over to the door, careful not to wake their other room-mate. And turned back to look at Cino once she had opened it.

“C’mon.”

[Elite]

Cino gave a casual half-smile as he always did. He watched her as she continued to get ready for their little outing even though it was late...no...quite late. A bit past midnight now that he looked at the clock. Of course he would usually be out on the roof or in the courtyard at this time. Sometime he was glad nobody followed him, yet a lot of the time wished there was someone with him. "A walk...sounds pleasant." Cino spoke in a slightly reassuring voice. For a party girl, he didn' expect Charlize to say such a tame idea. Striding over, he exited their dorm and gently closed the door behind them. He looked around in the darkness for a moment before finally adjusting to it. "Lead on."
