Leci nodded, shrugging a bit. "I'm lucky this year, though. He's finally coming home for Christmas, so we'll be able to spend the holidays together." She tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear, then turned some, reaching over to turn off her lamp; there was enough light filtering in through the window to fill the room. She looked back over at Amber with a smile. "Excited for classes to start...?"

Leci smiled, raising a brow. "You're taking that too? Well, maybe we'll be in the same class together!" She laughed some, shrugging. "It's my favorite class as well. Next to marine biology and history, of course." She smiled, taking her pillow from her bed and holding it in front of her.

Amber reached for the watermelon lip gloss she had placed on her dresser and began to apply it to her thick, full, lips. She hated the feeling of dry lips. She pressed her lips together, making sure the gloss was even, and then opened her lips, making a sound similar to a suction cup being pulled off a wall. "Zee English language is very interesting. I loved learning eet ven I first came to America."

Leci nodded, wetting her lips some with a smile. "Did you like the idea of moving? Or would you rather have stayed in France...?"

Leci nodded, listening to her speak. "I can understand that. I mean, I've never left the country or anything, but... leaving Charlotte alone to come here was a huge step for me. I bet what you went through was like... totally magnified." She smiled, nodding to her. "That's good you get to go back, though."

Leci smiled, nodding. "Well said." She glanced around the room, wetting her lips a moment. Then, with a sigh, she patted her hands against her thighs as she stood, looking over at Amber. "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm starvin'. I think I'm gonna head down to the Crush. I s'pose I'll see ya later sometime...?"

Leci smiled, shaking her head. "I wouldn't mind in the least! I can always do with some good company." She grabbed her purse from her nightstand, slinging it over her shoulder.

Amber grinned, shoving her watermelon lip gloss in her own purse and swinging her legs over the side of her bed. "Thanks," Amber smiled, looking right at Leci.

Leci smiled back, shaking her head. "No need to thank me." She turned, opening up the door, holding it open for Amber, then heading out after her.
