PLEASE enjoy, favorie, follow and REVIEW!


"Okay!" Laura exclaimed excitedly the next day, when Carmilla was coming back into the dorm from her Tuesday Psychology class. Laura, on the other hand, didn't have any classes on Tuesdays, which was nice.
"Oh no," Carmilla muttered at Laura's excitement.
Laura completely ignored the comment. "So, I found two different lists. One of them is things that girls should do sometime during their college experiences, and the other is a list of things to do to relax a little and enjoy life. I took both of them and combined them together. There's twelve things on it all together, so I can do one thing each week for my project, and then I'll have one more week to compile the whole thing before I have to turn it into my Intro to Journalism professor."
"And you need me because?" Carmilla asked, sounding utterly bored already.
Laura flashed a glare at her roommate. "Because I could do some of these things but not actually experience them."
"What do you mean?" Carmilla questioned.
"Well," Laura started, "the first thing on my compiled list is to hang out with relaxed people. Which, obviously, you are."
Carmilla smirked, because she could already tell that this was going to be entertaining. She was really curious to know what things were on this list of Laura's. "So, number one, check."
"Well, I need to make a video for each one, so we can do that after I shower and get dressed so it doesn't look like I just rolled out of bed," Laura commented.
"Whatever you say, cutie," Carmilla said, smirking. "What else is on that list of yours?"
Laura looked at Carmilla suspiciously. "I'm not telling you." Carmilla raised her eyebrows as she sat on her bed, next to Laura's computer desk chair.
"What are we, five?"
"If I tell you what's on the list, you'll want to skip to different things," Laura stated.
"So you're saying that I'm going to not want to help you do some of the things on this list?" Carmilla asked, though she really didn't care. She was honestly actually looking forward to this.
"I'm just saying, I'm not defining an order for it. I have it on a list generator, so except for the first one, I don't know the order either," Laura stated. "I mean, I know what's on it, but if we both don't know the order, that's better, because then we can't skip around."
"Alright, creampuff, whatever you say," Carmilla said. "You better go shower then, so we can get this first one over with."
Laura couldn't help the small smile that appeared on her face as she hopped out of her desk chair and went into the bathroom to shower—trying to ignore how messy Carmilla had left it that morning.
Carmilla, in the meantime, let out a sigh. She felt weird being friendly with Laura, if only because they really were quite opposite. But, she still couldn't deny that there was just something about Laura that made her want to get to know her and to do stuff with her. It totally made her feel lame, but she didn't really care. Glancing around the room and looking for something to keep her busy while Laura was in the shower. Her eyes fell on the yellow pillow nestled neatly at the head of Laura's bed. Surprisingly, Laura hadn't confronted Carmilla about consistently stealing it—despite the previous day when she had been all mad—and Carmilla was kind of curious as to how long it would take for Laura to stop just stealing it back, and to actually tell her to stop taking it.
So she got up, snatched the yellow pillow, and moved it to her bed. She propped it against her shelf headboard, leaned against it, and took out her iPhone to check all of her social media. She was doing her best not to think about Laura, because it seemed to be a problem over the past few days. She literally could not get this girl out of her head.
When Laura finally came back into the room, she was wearing jeans and a loose, blue, button down top. "Okay, so don't say anything until I introduce you," Laura stated, sitting down in front of her computer and opening some video application.
"Whatever you say, cupcake," Carmilla responded.
"Can you stop saying 'whatever you say'?" Laura muttered, shaking her head and running her hand through her still damp hair quickly. Once she was sure that she was camera ready, she started recording, smiling at the camera. "Hi, I am Laura Hollis, and this is my project for the class Introduction To Journalism, titled 'The Relaxation Project'. The idea for my project came from the fact that I have been told to loosen up, and so I used different sources on the internet to comprise a list of things that 'college girls' should do at least one, and things to help people 'loosen up'."
Carmilla did her best not to comment while Laura was word vomiting to the camera, but she couldn't help but smirk. Laura was pretty hilarious when she was talking like a computer.
"While I have selected the things on my list, they are on a random list generator, so I have no idea the order that they will come up in," Laura continued. "Now, I will do one thing each week for the next twelve weeks, and this project will be able to track how much it actually ends up working."
Once again, Carmilla bit her tongue to keep from piping up a comment.
"Today is Week One, and the first item on my list says 'Hang out with relaxed people'," Laura stated. Finally, she turned slightly in her chair and gestured to Carmilla, "which is why she is here. This is Carmilla, my dorm roommate."
"Sup," Carmilla said, still smirking, because this was just weird.
"Carmilla is probably completely opposite of me. I could list the ways I've discovered that we are polar opposites in the last few days, but it would probably take way too long. One of those ways, though, is that she is a very relaxed person, unlike me. She has agreed to be my relaxed person, and she has also agreed to help me through my twelve step list. Carmilla, would you like to introduce yourself?" Laura asked, looking back at Carmilla.
"Didn't you just do that for me?" Carmilla said, raising an eyebrow. Laura rolled her eyes.
"Whatever," she commented. "Anyway, Week One isn't so exciting, but the coming weeks will mostly at least require me leaving my dorm room. So… until then!" She turned off the video and then glared at Carmilla. "Really? You couldn't even say one nice thing?"
"It's not like I said some mean thing," Carmilla pointed out.
"Ugh, what am I getting myself into?" Laura muttered, shaking her head slightly. Suddenly, her flip phone beeped. Carmilla watched her carefully as she checked the message. "Oh, it's Perry. I have to go."
"You're welcome for helping you with your video thing," Carmilla said as Laura got up from the chair.
Laura rolled her eyes. "You didn't even do anything helpful."
"I'm here, aren't I, buttercup?" Carmilla asked, looking at Laura pointedly. Laura hesitated for a moment, because she was trying to read into things—which was totally like her.
"Fine, thank you," she finally gave in. "I'll be back sometime later."
"Looking forward to it," Carmilla muttered sarcastically. Laura didn't respond, instead choosing to just leave the dorm. In the meantime, Carmilla decided that it was time for a nap—using Laura's yellow pillow of course.


Soooo I can't say that this fic is my most impressive work ever, but I love the dialogue and I'm just sort of having fun with it, so I hope hat you all are enjoying it!

Also... this is my first FF update EVER from my BRAND NEW LAPTOP! Woohoo! I usually inherit old laptops, but my parents were tired of having to help me fix my old, stupid laptop, so they bought me and my sister each a new one! YAY :) So, I spent a good two hours or so setting it all up, making my slideshow background and such... hehe :) And now here was the first update from it, woohoo!

I have a funny, Carmilla related story. So, I have this one friend that I'm always snapchatting (like, it's our main form of communication) and when I'm bored I always just snap her videos of me literally word vomiting. And a few days ago I was talking about Carmilla and then I was fangirling about how Elise is the most adorable person ever and how her Canadian accent is the only one that I think is cute. The next day, I was asking her about her phone background or whatever, and then I was like "yeah, you would judge me if you saw mine" and I had totally forgotten that I had told her my background was Elise when I was snapchatting her... and hse was like "no I won't. Anyway, it's that girl from that web series you're watching" and I was like "OMG YASS" because idk i just get really happy when people who don't watch things that I watch remember all of the shit that I tell them...

Anyway.. moving on with life...

It's time for me to go to bed, so I hope that you all have a lovely night/day! Review maybe? :)
