I am so glad finals are over... the pressure was unreal.
She smiles I can understand that. You did great though.
Thank you. I think the only thing that kept me from losing my mind was thinking about spending time with you.
smiling I bet. You must be relieved.
I am. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Cindy looks around the restaurant, taking in the upscale atmosphere.
How about you? How did your finals go?
later that night I walk into our shared dorm room
Cindy was laying on her bed, scrolling through social media. "Hey! How did your finals go?"
I lift my glass here’s to freedom!
I laugh and clink my glass against yours
To freedom! No more classes or studying for at least two weeks.
looking relieved Finally! No more all-nighters for us!
sighing I swear, those all-nighters were the worst. It was like my brain just shut down and refused to cooperate. But now we can finally relax and enjoy ourselves!
Leans back And now you can finally relax.
leans back as well, sighing
You know it. I'm exhausted... I've been studying nonstop for weeks.
giggles softly
I can't believe we're finally done though!
I feel you. those exams were intense
I mean, it's like they were trying to break us or something.
she sips on a glass of wine
I feel like I deserve this after how stressful everything was
I bet. You did great though! grabs your hand
Thanks... you've been a big help. I couldn't have done it without you.
I smile and squeeze your hand back as the waiter arrives to take our drink orders.
Leaning back in chair yeah.. i bet. how do you feel now that they're done?
Sighs
Relieved... but exhausted.
I studied so much that I barely had time to sleep or hang out with my friends... let alone have any fun!
i nod I'm here for that too
Cindy takes a sip of her water and looks at you.
So, now that we have some free time, what do you want to do?
Im a girl named Candy, I'm a model and I'm wearing a tight black short dress and high heels yeah me too
Cindy looks at you up and down, admiring your outfit.
You look great, by the way. Is that a new dress?
I smile I feel you.. that’s why I went to the gym and ran like 5 miles nonstop
I take a sip of my drink, eyeing you curiously.
Five miles? Impressive. Most people would just stress eat in their rooms to cope with the pressure.
I know right? I'm glad we could celebrate tonight! raises glass To us!
I raise my glass as well, smiling. To us!
I smile. Yes it was. But now that they’re done…
Cindy smiles back at you, taking a sip of her drink
Exactly! Now we can finally relax and enjoy ourselves. Any plans for the weekend?
im her best friend since pre-school who also loves cheer and gymnastics as much as Cindy same! i was having nightmares about those math problems
I laughed
You and me both! I swear if I have to look at another math problem ever again it'll be too soon.
I know right! takes a sip of my drink
I take a sip of my own drink and smile
You know, I don't think I've ever seen you look so relaxed. You always seem like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders.
i laugh im still waiting for mine.. u lucky girl
You're such a nerd. You love studying and you're probably excited for your exams to come out so that you can get back into school again.
I'm just ready to relax for once...
the whole time we’re eating I’m looking at my phone
I look up from my food and notice you're distracted by your phone.
I try to get your attention, waving a hand in front of your face. "Hey... earth to Candywwii. You in there?"
