Sarah returned to her room at her college. She collapsed on her bed and blew the hair out of her face with a big 'huff'.
Her room mate looked at her and fiddled with her own dark vermilion hair, "Sarah-bear, are you alright?" she asked shyly.
"I'm fine Linda! Just great, peachy-keen even!" she said sarcastically, then grunted loudly and sat up.
"…You don't have to tell me.. I'm just concerned that's all…" Linda sighed, "OH! I just remembered!" she took a red-velvet box from under her pillow and handed it to Sarah, "Some blond guy with a mop of blond hair told me to give this to you…"
Sarah blushed and took it, she opened it. A dancer began to spin and it played 'As the world falls down' Sarah's mouth gaped open, "Jareth…" she muttered.
Linda rose an eyebrow, "What was that?"
Sarah shook her head and slammed the music box shut,"…Nothing…"
"Who is it from?"
"…Just an old friend…" she bit her lower lip and closed her eyes,"…I should be worrying about my case right now… Not some stupid guy I hate to love and love to hate…"
"Oh, how is the case going so far?" Linda asked with major curiosity.
"Horrible…My chances of getting Toby are high but…There's a catch,"
"What kind of catch?"
"…I have to get married,"
"WHAT!?" Linda jumped backwards and toppled over her bed, landing safely on it, "H-How can this be?!"
"Either I find a permanent job or I get married, either with in the next month!"
"Wouldn't it just be easier to get a job?"
"Not a permanent one!"
They both grunted at once.
"What am I going to do?" Sarah sighed.
"They only way is to pick one of these choices… Would you rather go job or marriage?" she moved her hands opposite directions as she said each option.
Sarah grunted and hit her pillow with her fist.
