Helios Dorm, Arkhelios Community College…
Ulyssa glanced around the dorm quietly. She’d purposely gotten there when the other young adults would mostly be in class. She wanted to be able to move in in relative silence. She didn’t need her friends from home interrupting her quite yet.
If anything she just wanted a little bit of silence. She knew the dorm would be as loud as home much of the time, and she’d purposely signed up for irregular class times in order to enjoy the quiet of a mostly empty dorm some days.
Was it really too much to ask, to just be able to get away from it all sometimes? At least while she was alone, she could daydream about making it big in Copperhead City, and never having to return to her parents house and her four younger siblings back in Arkhelios. If she never had to be around another screaming toddler, it would be too soon. She’d be perfectly happy to never return to Arkhelios if she had the option… Though she supposed Jorah was okay. He’d always been quiet and well behaved, and now he was old enough that he wasn’t a bother. Maybe she’d miss him just a little.
