Fool’s paradise → Lucy & Mason
Nervously meandering through her room, Lucinda was nowhere near finishing unpacking her back. She knew she should hurry as the day after would most likely be filled with therapy sessions and group dinners. Something she was not looking forwards to. No, she should probably get her room together now. Still, a knot had formed in the pit of her stomach. She didn't want to wait around for her roommate to arrive. She didn't want to pretend she was pleased with whatever girl she had been assigned to. The whole situation made her nervous to the point of nausea. No, there was something more important she had to attend to first.
Leaving the heap of clothes on her bed for what it was she slipped out of the room. By now she knew the building from the top of her head, making it surprisingly easy to reach her destination - all the while wishing she wouldn't come across someone she knew.
Within no time she had reached his room, Mason's, yet a simple knock on the door told her there was no one around. It frustrated her a little. She had hoped to find him immediately and now she had to wait around once more. Not that anyone was allowed to lock their doors around here.
She had been sitting on his bed for approximately half an hour, sincerely wishing that this was actually his room and they hadn't switched him to another. The sudden noise of a door opening had her startled; a hopeful smile twitching at the corner of her lips as she peaked up.
