(Levy POV)
It was a quiet night in a little town called Magnolia. All the houses and shops had their lights off and the people were asleep. Levy McGarden was in her dorm, having just arrived there earlier that day, and was tiredly putting all her possessions away. She tucked stray strands of navy blue hair behind her ear as she put her books away on the shelves. I wonder where my roommate is… She sighed, remembering the conversation she had before with her mother about her room.
"A coed dorm!? Levy no. You can stay with me. I don't like the idea of you being in the same dorm as boys." All Levy could do was shake her head and laugh softly at the concern her mother was showing.
"No Mom. I want to stay on the campus and this is all I can afford. You stay here okay? I'll visit every day I promise." She smiled at her mother, hoping that was enough to convince her.
"You promise me?" Levy nodded at the woman that had raised her with warmth and compassion.
She yawned as she put the last book up onto the bookshelf and then made her way across the room to her bed. She sat down and looked around. The contrast between her part of the room and her roommate's part couldn't have been more clear than night to day. Her side was clean, the only mess from a pile of books that didn't quite fit in the shelves. Her roommate's side was covered with black shirts and gray and beige colored pants.
Grabbing her pajamas, she made her way to the bathroom connected to the room and was surprised to see that it was neat and clean. Hmm… Well at least he kept this part clean… She took a quick shower, letting the warm water run down her ivory skin and relax her muscles underneath. Perhaps I should ask my roommie to rub my back? No… Too soon… And I don't want him to see the mark on my shoulder. Gingerly, her hand found the mark, in the shape of a fairy and wondered for the zillionth time why nature had decided to mark her in this way. The mark looked like a dancing fairy and was slightly darker than her skin. She'd had it since birth.
She climbed out of the shower, pulled on her pajamas and grabbed a book to read. She climbed into bed and opened her book and instantly got lost in the world of princesses and princes and magic and dragons.
~Two hours later~
A small hand shot out of blue covers and grabbed the phone ringing on the night stand.
"Hello?" Her tired voice spoke into the microphone.
"Levy McGarden? We have your mother here in the hospital." A sad sounding nurse answered, getting right to the point and sparing the tired girl the sugar coating.
