“Is it about space?” she asked, turning her attention to the television. She frowned slightly as she watched, tilting her head to the side as she observed the characters. “I was going to say that none of them look real but actually one does.” Charlie laughed. “No, it’s a drama. But so much drama that you can’t stop watching.”

“Yeah! Partially. Basically this dude from the year 2000 gets locked in a cryogenic tube for a thousand years and wakes up and there’s aliens and robots and space travel is like getting a cab to the cinema and it’s about his adventures with the friends he makes and his colleagues. It’s so funny.” She explained, looking bemused at Charlie. “It’s a cartoon, it’s all drawn.” Was that what she was asking? It sounded like it. She had to remind herself that wherever she was from probably was lacking a hell of a lot of amenities. “Maybe I’ll try it one day but I’m not in the mood for law. Or order for that matter.”

“No, it’s fine, it’s just that– I was kind of already in line, and then you sort of cut ahead of me. But, it’s fine.”

Mona pulled her headphones off and glanced back at the guy, frowning at his bumbling. “What? Do you want to switch with me or something? If it’s that important to you. I just really fucking need some fries or my brain will explode.”

Charlie closed the door before kicking off her own shoes and getting onto the bed next to Mona. “I think the television is still working if there’s something you want me to turn on?” she offered, shooting the girl a smile. “I usually just watch Law and Order. That’s how i’ve absorbed earth culture.” she laughed. 

Mona balanced the box on her knees and reached over for the remote, flicking through a a few channels before settling on Futurama. “You’ll like this one space girl.” She told her, shifting back until she hit the wall. “Law and Order? I’m guessing it’s not very funny?” She tended to lean towards comedies these days, perhaps that was because of her personal life in the past few years.

Charlie grinned at the girl’s comment. Even though she had been living on Earth for well over a year, she hadn’t made the biggest effort to learn about Earth culture. Sure, she’d watch a movie or a TV show every so often but never really made a point to watch things that were considered classics. “That’s a lesson I look forward to.” Charlie replied with a wink. “I swear, once you try a hoverboard you won’t want to ride anything else.” 

“Oh I highly doubt that.” She adored her skateboard, and it would be weird to cruise without having to push. Maybe she would like it, she’d definitely try. Despite it not being offered, Mona kicked her shoes off and hopped onto the bed, pulling one knee up onto the covers. She set the box in front of her and took out her half eaten piece and started to finish it off.

“Since I could stand.” Charlie replied with a grin before turning on her heel in order to lead the way to her room. “What’s Back to the Future?” she asked as she walked, shooting Mona and inquisitive glance. “We don’t have skateboards where i’m from, just hoverboards. I was surprised when I got here to learn that Earth technology hadn’t created them yet.” Charlie commented before opening the door to her room. “After you.”

Mona set her half eaten piece of pizza back in the box and closed it, kicked the tail of her board, caught the nose as it flicked up and followed after Charlie. “Oh babe, I have so much to educate you on.” She grinned as she followed behind, shaking her head at her not knowing, though there must have been a lot Mona didn’t know in comparison. “You’re blowing my mind space girl.” Mona commented as she walked by, giving an amused smirk, before setting her board against the wall.

Charlie offered a smile. “When the snow melts and we can finally get outside I can show you some of the best places to skate.” she offered. “My hoverboard is probably faster than the skateboard but i can make that work. Or a race could happen so we know for sure.” she suggested with a wink. “You may want to get out of the hall so a RA doesn’t catch you with that pizza though. My room is around the corner if you want to hide there?”

“You skate?” Mona blurted, then her mouth gaped. “Hoverboard? Really? DId I jump into Back to the Future?” She joked, not quite sure she was telling the truth. Mona was sceptical at the best of times, and she hadn’t come to terms with she’d have to hear a lot of what she might consider bullshit in the coming months. “Yeah probably not, I just stole this from the teacher laying them out. Yeah, alright.”

Charlie grinned. “Fair enough.” The girl took another bite of her pizza and chewed slowly while she gave the other girl a once over. They hadn’t met before which either meant that the other was new or their paths had yet to cross. But that seemed unlikely since there were few people on campus who owned a board that Charlie had yet to run into. “Nice to meet you Mona. You newish?”

Mona rolled her board underfoot back and forth, a habit she had when it was nearby. She shrugged her shoulders, figuring her roundabout way of telling Charlie she was hot hadn’t gone through, but maybe she’d make another attempt at it if an opportunity arrived. “Yeah, I arrived just when the snow was getting too bad to do anything. Perfect timing, right?” She rolled her eyes, disappointed with the world for treating her so badly with It’s weather. “But I’m told there’s a lot of places to skate outside this building, so as soon as it melts you won’t have to worry about me running you down.”

Charlie smiled before taking a slice. With little to no grace, she dangled the slice of pizza above her mouth so that she could take a bite. After chewing and smiling, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. “Sorry. I love pizza and haven’t had any in way too long.” she laughed. “That was less than attractive.” she shrugged. “I’m Charlie.”

Mona followed suit, taking a slice which she folded in half and bit into. She raised her brows at her comment, smirking slightly. “Depends on what we find attractive,” She reminded her, because she hadn’t thought it unattractive, but cute and amusing. Perhaps the snow and getting high earlier had affected her judgement, or maybe it was being away from her ex for a little while now. “Mona.”

Charlie raised an eyebrow, eyeing the box of pizza. “Any chance of you sharing some of your steal?” she asked, realizing that her stomach was beginning to grumble. Being stuck because of the storm was driving her nuts. That said, she figured that pizza would make her feel better. Pizza made everything better as far as she was concerned. 

Mona offered a bemused look, questioning if her calorie quip had been overlooked or completely misunderstood. “Go ahead,” she reiterated in simpler terms, and politer terms than she might’ve offered earlier. Mona opened the lid and took out a slice for herself and balanced it for the other girl to take too. “Pizza seems to be the best thing out of this. No cafeteria food.” Though, Mona had arrived mid snow storm and had no idea if the cafeteria was any good yet.

Johnny laughed and then nodded. “I know, of all people to be able to claim that title–him?” He asked incredulously, and shook his head with another laugh. He nodded in agreement about Heathens. “My favorites are Not Today and Ode to Sleep and I recommend them if you haven’t heard them yet!” He felt bad when she named two bands he didn’t recognize. “Oh, I don’t know them, but I’ll check them out when I get back to my dorm!” He promised with a smile. “Which songs to do you suggest?”

“Fixed, surely. Who paid for that to happen?” She smirked sideways at him, quite happy to slip into some fun conspiracies if she could. “t don’t know either of those,” Mona admitted with a shrug, “But I’ll have to check them out.” Most likely she’d forget, her memory of late had been spotty at best. She followed his previous indication towards the main office, awkwardly opening the door for herself. “Chris Cornell was from Soundgarden originally, Audioslave was a side project. He killed himself last year.” She paused, looking sad as she walked through to the main office. “Why wait til you get back, here.” She set her board down and pulled her headphones from around her neck and placed them over his ears, set her phone to play Addicted to Pain by Alter Bridge, handed it to him and pointed at the play button. “Enjoy.” She then left him and went to the main desk to get enrolled.

Charlie had been incredibly bored once she got the notification that they were snowed in. On one hand it was great that classes were cancelled but on the other, she really would have enjoyed going out into the city. Being trapped in the dorms felt suffocating. Even short rides on her hoverboard through the halls didn’t calm her down because she could never get up to a fast enough speed to really enjoy herself. Eventually getting sick of her room, Charlie wandered out for a walk, coming into the hall just in time to see a girl quickly stop on her skateboard. “On the brightside, you didn’t drop the pizza.” she said with a smile, trying to get the girl’s attention.

Mona chuckled at the comment, looking up at the girl in front of her. “The most important thing.” She agreed, opening the box to check on the contents. They’d moved to the side, but it was intact. Mona pulled out a piece and bit the end off, wiggling her brows at the other brunette. “It would’ve been a giant waste of my epic theft and getaway chase.” Her positive mood was relaying in a friendlier outlook, clear from when she held the box out. “Save me the calories?” Not that she didn’t need it, she’d lost a couple pounds on the bus trip over.

Johnny nodded in agreement. “Yeah, he’s a brilliant actor!” He let her into the building first and followed right after, the whoosh of warm air a welcome hit. “I like mostly everything although I don’t really care for country music,” he replied, grimacing slightly at the memory of the kid he sat next to on the plane who’d blasted George Strait so loudly in his headphones that Johnny could hear it the whole way to New York. “I recently started listening to Twenty One Pilots and they’re pretty great,” he nodded. “What about you?” He asked, kicking a snow chunk onto the carpet off of his boot leaning towards the way to the office.

“Phew,” Mona wiped her brow as a joke, acting as if it were a joke when she really was relieved. “It is dreadful. Can you believe Blake Shelton was voted hottest guy? Honestly..” She grumbled, just as much as she had when it happened. “Of all the guys!” Mona exclaimed, other peoples questionable taste, for whatever reason, forgetting taste was subjective. “Ooh, yeah, they’re cool. I loved their Heathens one. Not that familiar, just the hits.” Mona grinned at him, music got her the most animated. “I love Alter Bridge and Audioslave. Myles Kennedy and Chris Cornell just have the most amazing voices. You know them?”

She’d been unhappy about the snow when she arrived, but getting snowed in was turning out pretty good. She’d shot up first thing when she got the ‘no class’ notification, and a good few hours had passed now that she was feeling alive enough to go outside of her room. Mona skated down the corridors, down the elevator, and out into the common room where teachers were setting out some food for lunch. Things must have been hard in the kitchens because a teacher she didn’t know was setting out pizza boxes. She pushed up some speed and skated between past, nicking a full box from the teacher and straight out the corridor. The teacher shouted after her, but Mona just waved and cruised away, until she kickturned her way around the corner and chucked her balance back, lifting the nose up and coming to a sudden halt. “Shit.”

Johnny nodded enthusiastically and grinned. “Yeah, it was neat! He was very nice and even took a picture with me,” he added happily. “There’s nothing to camping! And I’m sure there’d be loads of people around at a festival to help; I’d need help setting up my tent,” he chuckled, and looked up as they drew closer to the main office. Johnny reached out and tugged on the door handle, sweeping a load of snow away from the door.

“Oh cool! Lucky you. I liked their Moriarty.” Maybe she had a predisposition to bad guys. “It’s just sleeping rough isn’t it, cold and no clean facilities.” That was the biggest problem she had with festivals, but she’d manage if she had to. “I’ll be checking out the lineups soon, see what’s good. What do you like?” She asked, ready to judge his music taste hard if he didn’t like something she liked. Mona walked past him into the building and stomped her feet a couple times, forcing the snow from her shoes.`

Johnny’s cheeks tinted pink at her words, but they were conveniently covered by his scarf. He cleared his throat at her question, somewhat lost in thought. “Er, no, not really. Although I did see Benedict Cumberbatch on the tube one morning! That was pretty neat,” he laughed, trudging through the snow. “I love camping! I used to go now and then when I was a kid, but haven’t really been since. Don’t mind sleeping outside though, no,” he added, leading them towards the main office. 

“Benedict...” Mona thought, trying to put a face to the name. “Sherlock!” She exclaimed, pointing her hand at him when she figured it out. “Good actor, that would be pretty cool. I’ve not seen any celebrities.” She wouldn’t care too much about actors, but musicians (good ones) would be thrilling. “Well I’ve never done the whole camping thing, not outside my own living room, but I think I’d do alright at it.” She liked the idea that she was independent and stronger than she might look, knowing she didn’t exactly look her best right now.

“Well that’s good to know; haven’t been missing out on much then, have I?” He felt a little better at the notion of it not being all it was cracked up to be. “Yeah, I mean London’s great for music, but Pinner…not so much,” he laughed, shrugging. “Ooh, I hope so! It’d be fun to go to a festival!” Johnny’d never been to concert, let alone a festival, but it sounded like fun to him; most everything did.

“The sex is good, but that’s about it.” She said honestly, figuring that would be the only thing she missed about Noah. Well, other than the free skag, but that probably wouldn’t apply to him. “You ever travel in to see someone?” Mona questioned, stepping out of her divot of snow, feet getting cold and soggy. She’d not meant for him to be included in her festivals, but maybe if she was off with some other school kid then getting out would be easier. “Yeah, it’s pretty cool. You mind camping?”

Johnny laughed and shook his head. “Just perpetually single I guess.” It was easier to say that then to jump headfirst into his fear of romantically or intimately attaching himself to anyone and his absolute phobia of growing up. He shrugged at the mention of music. “I guess; I live in Pinner which is mostly just full of old folks and families that frown on anything too noisy,” he chuckled, feeling every bit as lame about his home town as he did when he’d left it. “No? I’ve not been anywhere in the US besides here, so I guess it’s nice to know it’s not much different elsewhere.”

Mona scrunched her lips up, nodding her head almost as if she wasn’t listening. “Well, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.” She told him, because her experiences had been pretty shite so far, so she didn’t hold much expectation for the future either. “That... does not sound like a good music scene,” She chuckled it off, “But maybe there’s good stuff here, it’s close enough to NYC to catch something good. You think they’ll let me skip town for festival season?” She hoped so, it had been on her to do list, and since she was away from the Junkyard Dogs perhaps she could manage her way down there.
