Ciara | Wednesday | 2:53 pm | Dorm Buildings |

Hey , I'm Ciara Nicole and I'm 19 years old. I'm in college and share a dorm with my best friend Andi. I'm 5'2 and a half , a fem and I have a German Sheppard whose named Kyra and mixed with an Australian Dog , Pit bull and some other things that I really don't know , I've had her ever since I was a little girl , she's always been my bestfriend , well besides Andi , hah.

I pulled into the parking lot in my 2017 Blue With Black Rims BMW 3 Series with my dog laying in the passenger seat and the bags in the back. I got out as Kyra followed me. I grabbed the 4 bags and closed the door and locked it behind us. We walked into the building and took the elevator up to the fourth floor. We got off and walked down to dorm 49. I unlocked the door and we went in.

Me: Andi? You here?

Andi: Living room.

I let Kyra off the leash and walked in the living room. I saw her sitting beside a girl and another girl was looking around the apartment with her back to us.

Me: Who are they?

Andi: You remember when I told you about the girl I was talking to?

Me: Yeah?

Andi: Well , this is her. 

Me: The unofficial girlfriend?

Andi: Yeah.

Me: She got a name?

Andi: Right , um yeah. Naomi. So , Naomi , this is Ciara. Ciara , this is Naomi.

I smiled at her.

Naomi: Nice to meet you. 

Me: You too.

I looked at the girl who was now looking at me.

Me: And her?

Naomi: That's my bestfriend , Misha.

I looked at Misha for a bit longer before I recognized her.

Me: I'll be in my room. Kyra is loose.

Naomi: Loose?

Me: Dog. I have a dog. 

Misha: What kind?

Me: A mixed German Sheppard.

I walked into my room and put away my things and put Kyra's new things on her shelf with her toys , medicine and et cetera.

There was a knock on the door.

Me: Come in.

The door opened and it revealed Misha.

Me: Here to choke me again?

She leaned on the door frame and slipped her hands into her pockets.

Misha: As long as you don't spill coffee on me again.

Me: Mine was by accident. What's your excuse?

Misha shrugged.

Misha: Don't have one.

I sighed and pulled my hair into a bun.

Me: Why are you here. 

Misha: To apologize. 

She sighed.

Misha: So , I apologize for choking you. It was wrong.

I smiled at her.

Me: It's okay , but you got to make it up to me.

Misha: Why?

Me: You could've killed me.

Misha: I was aiming for that.

Me: I kind of noticed.

Misha: Okay , I guess I do owe you that much.

Me: I would say so.

Misha: Okay so what are you doing tomorrow?

Me: I have class from 12 to 3.

Misha: Okay , well we can either go for breakfast or lunch.

Me: Are you a morning person?

Misha: Not really.

Me: Then we can go for lunch.

Misha: You sure?

I nodded while smiling.

Me: Yeah. If your not a morning person , then let's just go for lunch. It wouldn't be fair to you.

Misha: Aight. I'll pick you up around 3:15.

Me: Okay. I'll see you then.

Misha: Okay.

She walked out and closed the door behind her. 

My phone vibrated continuously , I quickly grabbed it. It was Simone , my cousin.

Me: Yeah?

Simone: Hey , what are you doing?

Me: Nothing. About to lay down. Why , wassup?

I laid down on my bed.

Simone: Well I know your in nail class , and I was wondering if you could do my nails.

I sighed and ran a hand down my face. All I wanted was sleep. I've been getting dragged by Kyra all damn day.

Simone: I'll pay you , of course.

Me: Ugh . Just because your my cousin.  What do you want?

Simone: Acrylics.

Me: Okay. I'll be over soon. Go ahead and make me some food.

Simone: Fuck I look like?

Me: My favorite cousin.

Simone: I'm also your only cousin.

Me: Shuddup.

Simone laughed.

Simone: I'll have some shrimp done when you get here.

Me: Okay. 

We hung up and I got back up. I threw on my converse and grabbed my acrylics kit.

You see , I'm in nail school , but I'm also in a performing arts college to get my bachelor of music degree. The hardest is the music , but it'll pay off because we have showcase coming up in 7 months.

I grabbed my phone and crossbody and left out the room and into the living room.

Me: Andi , I'm leaving.

Andi looked up at me from Naomi as I went through my crossbody looking for my keys.

Andi: Were you going?

Me: Simone wants her nails done and there's shrimp at her place.

Andi: Okay. When will you be back?

Me: I have no clue. Do I need to pick up anything while I'm out?

Andi: Yeah , milk and more napkins.

Me: Okay. I'll be back later , don't wait up.

I looked at Misha and Naomi.

Me: I will see you later and you tomorrow. 

I walked out and locked the door behind me. I took the elevator down and got in my car. I locked the doors and started the engine. I hooked my phone up to the aux and hit play. I backed out and sped off.

I arrived at Simone's about 30 minutes later. I got out with my things and locked the door behind me. I rang the door bell and some short girl answered.

Girl: Yeah?

Me: Simone's here , right?

Girl: Who are you?

I was about to reply but Simone pushed her aside.

Simone: Damn Kia , I told you my cousin was coming.

Kia looked at me.

Kia: Oh. Well I forgot.

I walked past Simone and into the kitchen. I sat at the table and opened the kit. Simone came and sat infront of me and Kia sat beside her and Simone's other friend Marisol sat on the other side of me.

Me: Okay did you already wash you hands and push back your cuticles?

Kia: I did it for her.

Me: Aight cool.

I began to wipe her nails.

Simone: Wait , are those fucking bruises?

She took my neck in her hand and rubbed the bruises lightly.

Me: Yeah. Yeah they are but I'm okay.

Simone: Was it him?

She sat back down and I began to trim and buff her nails.

Me: No no. I haven't seen him or her in a minute. A long ass minute.

Simone: Then who was it?

Me: It was this girl. I accidentally split hot coffee on her so she choked me then I bought her a new shirt. I saw her again later at my dorm with Andi and Andi's unofficial girlfriend and the girl apologized and we're going out for lunch tomorrow after I get out of class.

Simone: What was her name?

Me: Misha.

Kia looked up quickly from her phone and at me.

Kia: Misha? As in the drug lord?

I shrugged and began to put nail primer on Simone's nails.

Me: I don't know anything about her except her name is Misha. Why?

Kia: No reason. 

I shrugged and continued on with Simone's nails.
