Nessie didn't even wait for Pixie to find her words. Using Pixie like a toy made her come to a conclusion. That worrying about who she is, is a silly thing to worry about. She'll be who she is as long as she does what she wants to do. She started getting dressed to leave the dorm room for the first time today. "Hey where are you going?" Pixie asked.
Nessie put on her jacket, "in about 10 minutes it's when I usually pass by John in the hallway. I'm going to hang out with him."
"Just like that?"
"Just like that."
"Ohhh you... fucking tease. I'm rubbing off on you."
Nessie smirked, "You're really good at rubbing something."
Pixie sighed, "Listen. Nessie. I like this new you, but people don't make changes like this so quickly. Don't make any mistakes out there."
Nessie felt a truth to her words, but was too motivated and stubborn to admit it. "I'll be fine" She says as she leaves the dorm.
"Oh that girl..." Pixie mutters to herself.
With a hint of mischief she checks the drawer that Nessie usually leaves the pendant in, hoping she could pay back Nessie's behavior from that morning. Alas, there was no pendant to be seen. Nessie, in all her energy, had the wherewithal to remember to take it with her. "Darn..." Pixie thinks aloud as she hovers over to her soft pillow and curls up to take a nap.
Nessie, with a rejuvenated smile on her face and a pep in her step, waits for Josh in the hallway where their paths cross. She sat waiting on a loveseat, one of many placed throughout the interior of campus to help students take proper breaks on hard days full of study. Or midday naps for people on their way to dropping out. Josh comes walking by right on que. "Hey Josh!"
"Oh, hi! Hey Nessie what's up?"
"Not much, just feeling really good today. Hey, are you free this weekend?"
"Um... yeah? I could make time. What did you have in mind?"
"I don't know yet... start with food?"
"What kind of food?"
Nessie thought for a second. They were both capable of getting up early. "Breakfast? And then we go from there?"
Josh smiled, "Yeah I can do that, there's a place I like down the street. I'll shoot you the info later."
"Sweet thanks!"
"See you saturday!"
Josh started to walk off towards his next class. Nessie decided to give chase, "Hey do you mind if I walk with you?" she asked.
"Yeah go ahead. I don't mind." he said, making room for her to stride next to him.
Nessie smiled as she took her place, "You know, I still don't even know your major."
"Huh, I guess it never came up."
Nessie waited for a second before asking, "Well, what is it?"
"Oh right. Uhh business. It's pretty easy."
Nessie smiled, "So the legends say. I'm majoring in English."
"Oh that's pretty neat. What made you want to do that?" Josh asked.
