When Cara saw that the mysterious stranger was actually someone she had met before, she felt somewhat relieved. That desperate sinking feeling still sat heavy upon her chest, but she was ever so slightly more at ease in the company of someone she already knew. Pushing forward a small smile, Cara tucked a stray chocolate brown wave behind her ear and nodded her head slowly. “Typical, eh, locking yourself out.” She teased, her accent growing somewhat stronger the longer she was away from home.

“I’m just out… taking my thoughts for a walk.” Cara commented. It wasn’t much of a lie, but she couldn’t exactly tell him that the real reason was out was because the panic that set in deep within her gut was causing her to lose sleep. “So, you’re just gonna hang out outside? You should, at least, I don’t know, get some coffee in the cafe or something…”

Matty smiled down at the small girl. It was weird circumstances to see her again, but pleasant all the same. “Yeah, it seems like I’m always forgetting something. Or a lot of somethings.” He furrowed his brows, his head shaking from side to side.

“A walk? It’s freezing out. Do you want my jacket?” He asked, beginning to pull it off before she answered. It was the right thing to do, Matty knew that, even if it meant freezing himself. “I could, but I don’t have my wallet. So no coffee for me.”

DAHLIA: I’m doing much better now. DAHLIA: I’m sorry for what I said when I was hungry. DAHLIA: 😬

MATTY: It’s totally cool. MATTY: We’re all like that.

Finding herself outside on one of the chilliest nights of the winter season so far, Cara pulled her jacket tighter around her small frame. She couldn’t just go back to her dorm and go to sleep, not when she knew that something or someone was in danger. It wasn’t like her to CARE so much, but in a new town, with new people, Cara had a chance to form her own reputation. A better one than the one she had made for herself back in London — at least.

Spotting someone a few paces up ahead, Cara took careful steps towards them, the snow crunching softly beneath her boots. They had no reason to be out stalking in the night, but realistically, neither did she. “Hey… why are you out here - it’s so late?” She asked, mostly thankful for the company, even it if was brief. The uneasy feeling that washed over her could easily be swept away by a friend.

“It’s freezing — you should get inside.”

If you asked someone to describe Matty in one word, they’d call him disorganized. And each day, he did something to solidify that statement. Tonight he’d outdone himself. Having gone outside for a smoke, it was only after he’d realized that he’d forgotten his wallet, and thus locking himself out of his dorm entirely. 

So there he was, wandering the campus and doing his best not to freeze to death. Which, despite constantly running warm, was a bit of a challenge for him. It was only when he heard someone that he froze. The familiar voice registered in his ears as he turned to acknowledge who it’d belonged to. “Yeah, that was the plan.” Matty teased through his chattering teeth. “I locked myself out. Again.” He paused, brows furrowing as he eyed her. “Wait, what are you doing out here?”

caraholliday:

“Nice to meet you, Matty.” Cara smiled, something she didn’t often do, especially under immense stress. “If I find a place to live without a creepy Craigslist roommate, I’ll invite you to the housewarming party.”

“Right back at ya’.” He said before closing his eyes and shaking his head at his own stupidity. “It better be a themed party, or I’m not bringing a gift. Well, I probably will but not, like a good one. Like, infomercial status.” He chuckled out.

“Thanks for the help, anyway… if I get murdered on my search for someone to room with, remember me fondly… I was going to say ‘ unnamed library girl ’, but my name is actually Cara.”

“I aim to please.” Matty said cheerfully. He liked to try and help others, even if it often was short lived. “Cara, I’ll remember that. Though not gonna’ lie, ‘unnamed library girl’ has a nice ring to it. I’m Matty.”

caraholliday:

“Good idea,” Cara sighed out, nodding her head. “All of my Facebook friends live elsewhere, England - mostly, but yeah, good idea. I’m new here. I suppose I could ask around. Post something on some kind of… do they even have a big bulletin board here?”

“Uhm,” the boy paused, brows knitting together. “I’m actually not sure. I don’t pay much attention. Maybe you could try asking the librarian or something?” Matty suggested, doing his best to remain helpful.

[caraholliday]

“Can I get your opinion on something?” Cara asked the person closest to her in the library, swinging her laptop around to face them. “I registered too late to have a room on-campus. So… I’m testing the waters with Craigslist… I need help finding a roommate that won’t potentially kill me and sell my organs for money.”

[matttttyyx]

Matty leaned over, peering at the computer screen. “Honestly?” He asked, “I’d probably start with Facebook friends or somethin’. Too many Lets Not Meet stories start on Craigslist. You probably, like, have more than a fifty percent chance of death. If you, you know, go for that.” Matty paused, “Hey, you could make a friend with a single on campus. Squat with them until you can reg again.”

[micahftw]

“This is such a bad idea.” Micah rocked on his heels and looked over his shoulder. “Come on. Let’s just go back to my apartment and I’ll make you a sandwich and we can forget that you ever had this really bad idea.”

[matttttyyx]

“Oh please,” matty snorted, looking around. “There’s no such thing as a bad idea but I’ll take the sandwich though.”

[jerseynumber17]

“Are you gonna eat that? Because if you arent, I totally will.”

[matttttyyx]

“Well, I was gonna.” Matty said, popping another fry into his mouth. “But if you want some, its totally fair game.”

[andreaxweber]

“I need you to be very quiet,I had a few too many drinks last night,oh help me on new years”

[matttttyyx]

“You should just smoke. Its a lot better, you feel?”

“I think so too! And I could always use the extra cash.” She smiled, “Are you doing one?” She asked curiously. 

“Me? No, I’ve got a lot of tutoring that I’ve been doing. People need to pass their classes, you feel?”

eternallyelaine:

“But… how did you get your hands on a goat?”

“It’s a long story. It looked cold.”

[matttttyyx]

skyfcrbes:

“Fine, whatever.  I don’t want to know.”

“So can you help?”

[matttttyyx]

skyfcrbes:

“…Why the hell do you have a goat?”

“It’s a really long story honestly.”

[matttttyyx]

“So, long story short, if you know anyone with a car or that’s willing to take care of a goat, let me know. Because, let me tell ya, apparently ‘a goat ate my paper’ is not a valid excuse.”

“I’m thinking about doing work study once we get back. What do you think?”

[matttttyyx]

“Dude, you should, like totally go for it. It’ll be good for you. Ya’know?”

[augustenvalentine-blog]

“Oh, I’m sorry. Did I SCARE you?”

[matttttyyx]

“Nawh, dude, but you’re kinda weirding me out. Going all Billy Loomis with the eyes.”
