The morning sun made Zoë opened her eyes slowly as she rolled the bed several times before finally getting up her clothes were soaked in sweat from her usual nightmares, they should be called nightmares because nightmares are scary and frightening but in her case she has learnt to live with them as a part of her life routine.
She stripped herself off the Clothes and got dressed in a more homie wear just a pair of blue shorts and a thin spaghetti hand singlet on her blue flip flop.She walked to the living room to meet a big suitcase and some bags then a smaller body compared to hers on of the couches curled into a ball that made her stop in her tracks.
she stared at the body for a while then went near her putting her fingers below her nose to check if she was breathing but she couldn't detect and bent down to stare at the face the petite girl opened her eyes to meet a pair of deep foxy brown staring deeply into her.
"Ahh!!!..." They both screamed at the same time. "who the heck are you" the girl shouted and Zoë just stared at her. "Zoë... Zoë Arinna...is there a problem" Zoë expression was now calm and the girl let down her guard and beamed happily "oh so you are Zoë but how come people said they didn't see any person like you just an heavily made-up girl...wait are you the girl with heavy make-up you really do look beautiful in person like I imagined you to be, I saw your photo on the school blog and went to the room manager and luckily you are my roommate...oh I'm sorry I didn't do a formal introduction I am Sophie Rossi...I have this deep feeling we are going to get along pretty well I love to party and I'm a dancer a tiktok dancer" Sophie said her words happily like her life long wish has been fulfilled, Zoë stared at her for a while looking at her clear dark orbs and beautiful smile.
The girl in front of her was a bit more than average in height wearing a sexy backless back dress that hugs her body perfectly although she looked flushed her light make-up is intact her shining black YSL heels are scattered beside the centre table. It's obvious she came here from a party, she took her time observing Sophie's face which was round, short lashes, full brows,big cheeks, thin lips and small ears though her hair is scattered on her face.
"Did I pass your test I know I'm not that much of a beauty but I'm proud of my looks" she said with a proud smile "Good to hear you look miserable I'll cook breakfast go take some shower" Zoë said bluntly and Sophie touched her hair "I came directly from a party...the student posted about your make-up immediately you came you killed it in the dress..." Sophie stopped talking when Zoë walked to the mini kitchen, she bit her lips slightly and took her luggage and bag to her room to arrange. *** The smell of chicken soup and grilled chicken noodles rented the whole room, both Zoë and Sophie are on the dining table only Sophie is eating with a big appetite and Zoë stared at her with a sad smile in her face."you are such a good cook" Sophie praised but Zoë just nodded with a blank face.
"Let me tell you about myself...I love partying, reading and by that I mean school books and Bible, dancing and going to church. That's why I made schedule parties are for Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights only after that no extra party. Dance afternoon..."Sophie went on and on about her daily schedule Zoë on the other hand resisted the urge to yell at her to stop. Sophie's phone beeped on the table she checked it to see it was from a number she saved as BBro and a voice note was sent to her. She played the voicenote on loud speaker for her and Zoë to hear "Morning cheeks I got something you might be interested in already sent it to you, make good use of it... Please the next time to you come to my party or any other party avoid getting drunk cause it sickening watching you cry over some guy, I also sent you a video of your display yesterday,,...uhm... seems like to the roomie you've been waiting for is finally here the room door was closed when I came to drop you off...damn you've added weight stay away from junks these semester,you could as well send me a pics of your roomie" The voice note ended and Zoë looked at her for a while.
"Isn't that yeah... Bennie...sounds like him"Zoë asked and Sophie looked at her "how did you know him and it's Ben only his dates call him Bennie...He is my elder brother...BBro means Big bro"Sophie explained and Zoë nodded in understanding.
"Would you do what he asked"Zoë asked and Sophie winked teasingly before going to her already set up ring light. "I'm going to take a few morning photos...this is manageable at least half decent" she asked Zoë who was making her way to her.
"It's cool...take up your dishes before any photos" Zoë said in a serious tone and Sophie saluted her and joked "okay Miss tidy" before clearing the table.
When she was done she took several photos and posted the best among them. The one she showed her full length running her fingers through her hair while her thuny hand long v-shaped singlet was brought up by the side showing her yellow bumshort but in the photo Zoë side view on the couch was very clear and her glassy skin didn't go on praised making the photo highest trend of the day she postedit with a caption
#Raw beauty❤️...Hangover hit me add"
Then posted the video Benito sent to her and turned on silence mode of her phone.
She used the few hours she waited with to install Instagram, tiktok,twitter and WeChat on Zoë's phone then her added to the school group. "Which Italian teenager won't have this app on their phone I can already imagine how boring your life must have been"Sophie scolded and Zoë smiled sadly her life was full of countless challenges and she is sure if the monster she ran away from found her he will do all in his power to have her.
Sophie's removed her phone from silence mode and a call came in she had prepared herself mentally for it but the anger was obvious"please excuse my sister is calling" she said with that she left, Zoë opened the school blog and the video alongside the photo was trending she sighed and closed her eyes before falling deep into the couch.
