The two girls made it through their first week and it was now Saturday morning. Cordelia woke up around nine and got down before heading to the bathroom down the hallway. She came back and got dressed and did her morning routine before finally hearing Misty start to stir. She looked up and watched blue eyes blink a few times before she groaned. Cordelia just laughed and took a seat in her desk chair.
"It's the weekend," Cordelia bit her lip, "I shouldn't be up this early," She raised her eyebrows, "You're a bad influence on me. I never used ta go ta bed before two in the mornin' and I never get up before lunch," Cordelia did giggle at that and Misty finally sat up and rubbed at her eyes, "I guess one good thin' about gettin' up in time for breakfast is… Well, breakfast," Cordelia giggled.
"So are you actually going to get up then?" Misty nodded and jumped down before leaving the room to use the restroom, "How in the world?"
oooOOooOOooo
"You want to go see what's going on on the front lawn?" Misty looked up from her laptop and nodded to the girl, "I mean, there's probably not much but we've been in this room all day," Misty grinned.
"They have an amazin' garden out there," Cordelia grinned and followed the girl from the dorm. They talked as they walked together and let the sun beat down on them, "So is your aunt your mother's sister or your father's?"
"Neither," Misty raised an eyebrow, "She's a close family friend and I got confused when I was little and she loved it when I called her my aunt so it just stuck. My mother hated it, but I love Aunt Stephanie so," Misty nodded, "Fiona always was kind of dramatic."
"Fiona's your mother?" Cordelia nodded, "What's she do?" Cordelia snorted out a laugh and answered Misty.
"She doesn't do anything. She travels a lot and drinks a lot. She doesn't work because she was the sole descendant of a large sum of familial money," Misty nodded, "Stephanie sort of became my "mother" when I was younger," Misty grinned, "What about you? What's your family like?"
"I wouldn't know," Cordelia looked up at her, "I mean, I do. It's just been a while," She got a nod from Cordelia, "They were real religious people, and I'm just not. Ya know?" Cordelia nodded to her, "They didn't too much like that and they were never real nice ta me anyway. I took the first opportunity I got and left," Cordelia listened intently as the girl spoke and brushed her finger tips over a flower petal where they were now stood in the garden, "In a way, I guess we're kinda alike."
"I guess we are."
oooOOooOOooo
"Why are they being so loud? It's two thirty in the morning. Go be loud in your own room," Misty giggled from her place on her bed where her phone was still lighting up her face, "I mean, some people are trying to sleep and I get that it's the weekend, but jeez," Misty just sat up and looked over at the girl who had picked her phone up to look at the time, "Also, who texts someone at two? It'll have to wait, Aunt Stephanie."
"Ya want me ta go tell 'em ta be quiet," Cordelia shook her head. They heard one girl shriek and another yell about her dropping her mac and cheese, "Are they drunk?"
"Sounds like it," Misty giggled and they got quiet again to listen to the conversation outside.
"We're going out motherfucker!"
"What?"
"I said, 'We are going out MOTHER FUCKER," The girl made sure to enunciate each word this time and Cordelia and Misty both fell into fits of giggles.
"Damn. Well, at least when ya get woke up, ya also get entertained."
oooOOooOOooo
"Dammit!" Cordelia looked up from her book when Misty let out the curse word and saw the girl slinging her hand around. She raised an eyebrow at the wild blonde and Misty grimaced, "I caught my finger between the desk and the wall," Cordelia giggled, "It ain't funny," She nodded.
"It's pretty funny," Misty just threw a glare her way and Cordelia heard her phone start ringing. She threw her hand back and grabbed it from her desk before putting it to her ear, "Hello?" Misty watched the girl's face drop immediately, "Oh, hello, mother…. I'm fine… Paris? That sounds nice," Misty watched the strained conversation, "Yes, I plan to stay here. I'm not like you; I finish the things that I start… It means exactly what you think it means, Fiona," Misty watched the girl's anger start to flare and she reached forward and grabbed the hand that was absent mindedly playing with the end of her skirt.
Cordelia looked up and grinned thankfully at the girl and listened to her mother, "I don't have time for this… I won't be looking forward to it.. Bye, mother," She hung the phone up and groaned out as she sat it back down on her desk. She glanced back to the wild blonde, "Thanks," Misty just nodded, "She's just such a bitch, which is why we don't speak much."
"I know about bitchy mamas, Delia. Ya ain't gotta explain nothin' ta me," Cordelia grinned and nodded, "Call your aunt," Cordelia looked confused, "She always seems ta make ya happy when ya talk ta her," Cordelia smiled softly and nodded.
"Thanks, Misty," She picked her phone up and tapped a few things on the screen before putting the phone to her ear, "Hey, Aunt Stephanie… I'm fine… Fiona called… She's in Paris or something and wanted to know if I was sticking with my "convoluted plan of going to college"," Misty grimaced at that and Cordelia nodded to the girl, "Yes, you can come on Labor Day weekend.. Hold on," She looked to Misty, "My aunt would like to meet you," Misty just shrugged and Cordelia grinned slightly, "That's fine… I'm not taking that bet, it'll definitely happen," Misty looked confused and Cordelia just smiled at her, "I'll see you then.. I love you too."
Misty watched the girl put the phone back down and she looked back up grinning at her, "That seemed ta work," Cordelia nodded and squeezed the hand that was still in hers.
"Thanks, I probably would have just sat there a fumed about it for a while," Misty nodded, "Let's go eat."
oooOOooOOooo
Cordelia heard Misty giggle and looked down at the girl who was sat on the floor looking up at the TV. She had her back against her bed frame and a blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She heard the girl laugh again and saw Misty look up at her, "Come on, Delia. It's FRIENDS," Cordelia grinned and slid down off the bed before taking a seat next to the girl on the floor. She felt Misty shift and half of the girl's blanket was thrown across her lap as the other half was placed across Misty's.
"Thanks," Misty just nodded and looked back to the screen. They both laughed lightly at the next joke that was made and Cordelia smiled softly. 'Maybe she's not the worst roommate after all.'
