As she listened to the little girl's words, Souls took another drag from her cigarette. There was a silence after the girl had finished, as the cigarette was still in between the black haired teen's teeth. The stillness was near deadly, only broken by the muffled sound of the other students' '[color=gray][i]Do you have a roommate[/i][/color]'s and '[i][color=gray]Nice to meet you[/color][/i]'s happening outside. It remained for what must've been an eternity, until, finally, Souls wrapped her fingers around the cigarette and tapped the ashes into the tray. Suddenly, she was surrounded by a serious, slightly intimidating, air as she put her elbows on her knees and leaned on them, staring Skyler straight in her eyes.

[color=9e0b0f][b]"Kid,"[/b][/color] she said, her eyes narrowing, [color=9e0b0f][b]"I bet there's a good number of nice, innocent cunts out there who'd just love to be your roommate, and yet you decided to come on in here and ask to be mine. So here's my guess:"[/b][/color] Souls jutted the cigarette to point at the brown haired girl. [color=9e0b0f][b]"My performance down there awoke somethin' inside you. I'll bet you don't even know what it is. But it pulled you in here, with me instead of them."[/b][/color] and she flicked the cigarette back to point at herself. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Or maybe I'm just reading too much into this. If that's the case, it's not too late to pack your shit back up and find a different room. But if not...then let me tell ya why we're doin' this."[/b][/color] she paused to take a quick hit from the cigarette. [color=9e0b0f][b]"One should never abide by rules that don't abide by them. It's a shitty way to live. The only rules one should follow are ones that they make. Otherwise, you're just letting someone else live your life for you. Think of it as a protest, I guess."[/b][/color] Souls took another pause to take another hit. [color=9e0b0f][b]So...you in, kid?"[/b][/color]
