  After her night swimming with Blaise at the lake Pippa woke in her bed, her head at the foot of her bed and her feet on her pillow. She groaned as she sat up and looked over at the clock on her night stand, it blinked almost violently at her in the dimly lit room. 10:15am. She'd gotten about three hours of sleep. She groaned yet again as she turned in the bed, sitting on the edge. The room seemed to be spinning and she didn't really know if it was cause of her lack of sleep or all the alcohol she'd consumed at the lake only hours before.
Standing up next to the bed she held her arms out, attempting to gain her balance. She put her hand to her head, groaning yet again as a strong headache immediately hit her. She sighed and began to move to get dressed. As the nights events hit her she dressed even quicker. Nothing had happened between her and Blaise that could mean she'd cheated on Ashleigh, but her heart still fluttered with guilt. There had definitely been feelings there.
Upon finishing pulling on her boots she quickly left her dorm room, trotting down the hallway and past Blaise's closed door. She silently prayed her new friend was still sleeping and the door wouldn't open as she made her escape. It stayed closed and she brought herself into a full sprinted run as she left the Northern dorms, headed straight to the south.
She barreled through the south dorm doors loudly, slightly out of breath as she slowed down in the hallway. She reached Tam's dorm room in less than a minute and knocked silently, "Tam! Tam!" |

  Mona hadn't had a very pleasant night. She was jetlagged
from her recovery vacation, and she was not having fun
back at Richmond. She was frightened that no one had
remembered her, and after studying torturously for finals,
had gone to bed at seven in the morning. God damn it, she
hoped it was the weekend.
The first thing she was when she woke up were the flashing
letters of 10:30. They glared in her eyes and made her
entire vision go painfully red. She groaned, flipping over,
wondering what could've woken her up. She never slept
in this late, unless she was sick, and she knew something
had to be out of the ordinary.
She went out into the hall, still with simply her sports bra
and her sweatpants, and saw a girl just a bit down the hall
She was too tired to tell whether the girl was distressed
our not, but she seemed to be knocking at someone's door.
She didn't want to leave the girl out there, just in case
something was indeed wrong, or the attendant of the room
she was at didn't open the door.
"You okay?" Mona called loudly, though it was slurred from
sleep. She bit her lip, hoping the girl wasn't in too much
trouble, so she could go back to sleep.

Tam glanced at herself in the mirror, running a hand through her hair and pulling it back into a ponytail before letting her hand drop to her side and sliding open the bathroom cabinet. Her music was still blazing in the other room as she sang along, shimmying slightly as she just finished up her usual beauty regime, pulling out her second mirror to check out her eye make up before giving a contented sigh.
"God I love you," She breathed happily, speaking directly to herself in the mirror giving a small happy shrug of her shoulders and moving out, pulling off her pyjama shorts on the way and flinging them in some general direction, adding to the already chaotic mess that was her disaster of a room. She didn't particularly intend to do anything that day, perhaps some revision...she gave a snort at that, fat chance of that, no, most likely she'd end up calling up Chi or Pipp...or Damian...she beamed to herself as she picked up the small remote to her ipod dock, putting up the volume as her obsession of the moment (and probably the scurge of the neighbouring dorms) came blasting out, Tam of course beginning to sing at the top of her voice
"British Intelligence they're on your back, And they won't catch no one so they won't catch m..." She began when she heard what sounded like a bang on the door. She paused, straining to hear over the music before rolling her eyes and turning the music down and moving towards the door, pulling it open.
"Hullo darling, my god you look like shit, come in, I have plenty of stuff for that," She said pleasantly as soon as she set eyes on Pippa
"...and you can too if you like," She added to the other girl...she was pretty sure she knew her name...it wasn't coming to her. After all it was still morning and Tam's brain very rarely started to actually function until late afternoon, why she was up at 10.30 in the bloody morning she simply did not know but either way, she was up AND in a decent mood.
OOC: For any who want to know, the song that's supposedly playing is British Intelligence by Jamie T xDD

Pippa continued to knock on Tam's door until she heard the girl next to her. She looked over at her, "Um...no, not really." She'd seen the girl on campus occasionally and thought her name was Monica or Mona or something but they'd never really met officially. Pippa was about to open her mouth to say something more to the girl when Tam opened the door. Pipp turned back to the now open door to look at Tam.
The comment on her looks seemed to snap her back to reality, in her haste to get over here she'd completely forgotten to take a look in her mirror. "Ok...um...thanks Tam." She stepped inside and immediatly walked over to Tam's mirror to reveal her confused and sleep deprived face. Her black eyeliner was running down her cheeks and her eyeshadow had turned her into a raccoon. She sighed at the look but turned back to Tam unable to solve her face issues immediatly.
"I have a huge problem..." Pippa immediately began to babble, she knew Tam could understand every word she spoke but wondered if the other girl could through her quick speech and thick british accent, "Ok so I met this girl and her name is Ashleigh and well she asked me out and we really got along so I thought what the hell we should go out so I said yes and...well she even made me her girlfriend on facebook and everything and then she kinda disappeared and I haven't heard from her in like three days. Then I met Blaise and I really like her but I'm still I guess with this Ashleigh girl and last night Blaise and I were by the lake and..." She finally took a breath, looking around Tam's room before looking at Tam herself, "And I don't know what to do...and I kinda consider you to be my best friend here so I just...I don't know..." |

Tam's hand moved onto her hip as Pipp passed her to look in one of her various mirror. Leaving the door open for the other girl...whose name she couldn't remember...even though she was almost positive she knew it...either way, she moved the bathroom, picking out some make up wipes and some of her 'special' cream and moved back into the other room, pulling the girls face towards her, listening as she wiped away the dreaded panda eyes. Pipp finished and Tam continued for a moment, mulling it over a bit before she dropped the wipe in the bin, a small smile crossing her lips.
"Well I dunno, I'm probably the worst person to ask," She laughed although of late she'd been finding it more and more difficult to laugh that one off.
"But I've been there and done it so I guess it's pretty much even. I guess the questions down to if it's just shagging...and if the person you like is actually single or not because that'll just lead to a whole load of shit," She said.
Yup...still infatuated and appropriately bitter about the Bear thing.
"And when I was engaged I was all over the place but I didn't look at why, if you have to remind yourself about Ashleigh all the time and why it's wrong then it's doomed from the start, if she's not making you happy then heck, go off with the other one...but for the love of god don't spill to either. If you're cheating, don't be honest, the truth never set anyone free," She said mater of factly, moving round her bed and pulling a few bits of junk food (and more importantly Ben & Jerry's ice cream out).
"Come, sit," She said patting the bed.

Pippa closed her eyes as Pam began to wipe the ruined makeup off her face. She sighed heavily, "We'll I'm not cheating...I stopped things before they got that far. She sat down next to Tam on the bed, "And Blaise isn't like that...she...she said she wouldnt make me do anything I didn't want to do and she understood that I'm with Ashleigh..she..."
Pippa looked over at Tam, her face suddenly lit as she smiled softly. "I think I just answered my own question." She laughed as she said it, suddenly feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "I just don't want to hurt anyone...I hate being the one to hurt someone." It was the first time Pippa had really let down her guard at Richmond, spilling all this out to Tam. She sighed, grabbed a piece chocolate from the junk food Tam had revealed. |

"Well I guess as long as every thing's sorted out, it's fine...just as long as number 2 DEFINITELY KNOWS nothing's going to happen," She shrugged although her gaze dropped back to the food at the mention of 'hurting' people'.
"Really, I'm pretty sure I'd much rather be the person doing then hurting than being repeatedly hurt," She muttered somewhat bitterly under her breath as she tugged at a curly wurly, suddenly hugely interested in the stuff before her, allowing a small frown to come to her face as she observed that something was most definitely missing, eventually moving back onto the floor, riffling round under her bed until she'd managed to find and more importantly, retrieve, another large box of junk.
"I knew you were somewhere," She grinned, pulling out a big box of chocolates before pushing the large container under the bed and pulling off the lid of the chocolate box, settling back on her bed and taking of the wrapping.
"I love these things," She said pleasantly.
"So anyway, what are you doing up at this time of morning? It's the weekend," She laughed.

Mona slowly followed the girls into the room,
although she knew neither of them. She felt
like a bit of an intruder, and even moreso as
the girl - who looked like quite a bit of a train
wreck this morning, mind you - spilled. her
story. She pursed her lips. Something like
how cheating had been going on among girls
she didn't recognize the names of. Damn, why
had Richmond changed so much while she
was gone?
Mona watched as the girl who looked slightly
more collected said something slightly helpful
and rummaged for junk food. Her mouth hung
open as she was about to reach for some, but
she withdrew when she realized it clearly was
not her place to take it. She looked down at
her stomach, which was hanging out as she
wore just a sports bra, and saw that although
it wasn't plump, she could afford to skip a bit
of chocolate.
"Err, pardon?" Mona piped up quietly, though
she wasn't sure anyone could quite hear her
"Mind if I leave? Er.." Of course they probably
wouldn't mind. Her entire presence screamed
third wheel.

"I'd rather no one get hurt," Pippa watched silently as Tam searched for the other box of chocolates. She could tell something was wrong as Tam was suddenly frowning slightly. Pippa didn't want to pry so she simply picked up another chocolate and ate it silently. She was about to say something when the other girl spoke.
Pippa looked up at her, she'd completely forgotten she was there. "Oh my god...I'm so sorry." Pippa gave the girl a small smile, "You don't have to go...unless you want to?" She glanced at Tam for a little support..she already felt bad enough she hadnt properly introduced herself to the other girl before spilling her entire story. |

Tam pretended not to hear Pipp as she turned to the other girl...god, what was her name?!
"You can stick around if you want," She said waving a hand casually as she relaxed back against her pillow, balancing on the chocolate on her stomach as she browsed through them.
"Oh, and feel free to help yourself, none of it's too ancient," She teased with a grin motioning at the stuff now covering pretty much the entirety of the space left on her bed.
"Oh and stupid," She said rolling her eyes slightly.
"I'm the most amazing, most gorgeous, Tam," She announced with a flourish.
"And panda eyes over here's Pippa," She grinned.

Pipp was eating another piece of chocolate when Tam introduced her as panda eyes, she shook her head laughing at the comment. "I was in a hurry ok?" She laughed before looking back at the other girl again. "Please don't start calling me panda eyes, Pippa is fine...or just Pipp" She gave the girl a small smile hoping she would decided to stick around after all.
"Your name is....Mona? right?" Pippa picked up a piece of individually wrapped chocolate and held it out to the girl. "I've seen you around campus a few times." |

Mona creased her lips through a smile when told
she could stay. She delicately picked up some mint-
looking thing from a container in smiled. "Thanks,"
she said, popping it into her mouth and putting the
wrapper in her pocket "Really appreciate it." It was
not so much the girls' courtesy as much as a reason
not to go back to her dorm - which was ridden with
the more high maintenance type.
Mona bit her lip. The introductions were satisfactory.
"Your eyes aren't nearly as bad as mine would be," she
said hesitantly to Pippa "I mean, if that had happened
to me. And oh - yes, I'm Mona. Just a freshman, though"
She was surprised that she even knew her name,
