Dorm Room Collusion Part: 1/3
Synopsis: Kim and Lia receive an unexpected visitor, from Kim’s perspective.
Kim and Lia were each sitting at their desks, their backs to each other, doing homework. Kim was working on calculus, and Lia was writing some sort of essay.
“Hey, do you want to go get some food?” Kim said.
“In a bit. I want to get a little more done,” Lia said, absently.
Lia’s cell phone rang. The ringtone was some stupid pop song, and it grated in Kim’s ears. But, she smiled to herself, and half-turned to glance at Lia out of the corner of her eye. Lia picked up her phone, looked at the display, and put it to her ear.
“Who is it?” Kim said. Lia didn’t answer her, but somehow she changed. Her posture straightened, but at the same time she became more relaxed. She put down the phone, and slowly, smoothly got up, turning towards the door.
