“Good morning Georgy,” Caroline said, coming down the stairs while taking up her hands to stretch and yawn.
“Sleepyhead, you are finally awake,” George replied, looking up at her face from the kitchen.
The kitchen is an open kitchen connected to the dining table, so it's easy to see anyone coming downstairs. He notices she has a little drool by the side of her mouth.
“I can guess you did not have any episodes today.” He says while looking back at what he was doing in the kitchen.
“ I can tell from the drool beside your mouth.” He continued, bringing her notice of it. Feeling embarrassed, she rushes up the stairs to clean up.
“ I will be down in a few minutes!”
“Take your time,” he replied, laughing out so loud as if wanting her to hear it.

After a few hours had passed. She came back with her luggage, and George rushed to help her out with carrying it.
“ I made some sandwiches for you, so you can eat before leaving the house.” He says while helping her carry the load down to the car.
“You can take the other car. It's a little old, but it would be less stressful traveling by bus.” he continues loading up her luggage into the car.
“ Are you sure? ” Caroline replied, opening the door to go out after eating.
“Yes.” He responds with a broad smile.
Caroline hugs her uncle and gets into the car.
“ Call me when you get to your apartment, okay? ” he tells her almost with tears in his eyes about to drop. She notices this and starts the engine, not wanting to get down, because she knows if she did, she would want to stay back and she needed it.
“ Don’t be a Crybaby, Georgy,” she says, waving one of her hands up while keeping the other one on the wheel.

Caroline arrives at her apartment soon with her luggage. Just as she was about to open her apartment, she saw Mia coming out of hers.
“ You have lived here permanently, right? ” She asks with a little grin on her face after noticing her luggage.
“Argh, I'm so happy, have missed so much.” she rushes to hug her, wrapping her in kisses on Caroline’s pale cheeks.
“I thought you weren't going to come back anymore,” she says, making a cute face while hugging her tightly and looking up at her face. They both laughed out loud.
Caroline opens the door and Mia helps her carry her things in. They start to arrange and play music, wiggling their waist to the beat of the music, and making funny eye contact with each other.
They had hit things off quickly like they knew each other from before. And even though Caroline had told Mia she was an orphan, it didn't stop Mia from talking to her.
“Let me take you on a night tour,” Mia said, looking at Caroline.
“You know, since we are done here, let's hit the club. I promise you are going to love, trust me.”
She shrieked, waiting for Caroline's response.
“But I don't have a dress, Mia. I told you I have never been to a party before”, Caroline responds as she unconsciously brings her nails to her mouth, feeling sad. Mia noticed this and then took her hand.
“I got you covered boo.” She says, holding her hand to lift her mood.
“OK then, let's go party!!” Caroline shouts in excitement like a teenager. Mia chuckles slightly then holds her hand to go dress her in her apartment. Soon they are both dressed. She gave an open-back short black dress to her, complimenting it with heels. Then curling her long brown hair to sit well on her shoulder. With light makeup to brighten up her look.
While Mia wears an armless gown with heels, packing her hair up into a ponytail and light makeup to complement the look. They both looked breathtaking and headed out as soon as their ride came to pick them up. They reached this very popular club there called “ Elevate Lounge”
They get checked by the security at the door for their age and head inside. This was the first time Caroline had been to a club. Everywhere was filled with a lot of people dancing with their hands raised above their heads, while some were by the bar drinking and talking.
Her eye soon catches a man in the VIP section. He looks tall even when he is sitting, with broad shoulders and a nice jawline. Mia quickly pulls her for them to go together to the dance floor. Caroline, feeling a bit shy, shouts over to Mia.
“ I will be right back. I need to use the restroom.”
“Okay, okay,” Mia shouts back. They can't talk properly because of the loud music. Caroline leaves Mia on the dance floor and heads over to the bar to ask for the description of the restroom from the bartender, which the person indicates. Just as Caroline was about to turn, she hit a guy by mistake, making his spill a bit on her dress. She looked up and noticed that it was the same guy she had been looking at when she entered.
He's right in front of me, I thought to myself. I froze for a bit, unable to talk. He looks a bit drunk
I heard him say a faint sorry and then walk past me.
That's rude, I thought to myself. Then I ran over to the restroom.

Williams Arthur’s POV
I saw a lady walk into the club with her short open-back dress revealing her smooth skin. Everything about her made me want to go over to her. Is this what is called “love at first sight?”
I soon noticed she was looking at me. So I looked away.
Maybe she noticed I was staring at her. I felt nervous at that moment but decided to act cool and behave like I did not know she was staring back at me. When I looked back, I noticed she wasn't there, she was probably on the dance floor, she couldn't be far off. I scanned the dance floor and finally saw her. She's walking towards the bar. I stood up to go talk to her.
Just as I was about to say hi, she bumped into me, making me so ill a bit of my drink on her dress. I felt so bad and had no idea what to do. So I just apologized in a low voice and walked past her.
Deep down, I wanted to know more about her, but I couldn't bring myself to talk at that moment.
