A Plan in action

[Zane]

Viren gave a bark of laughter. "A cocoa machine and T.v.? Man, wish I were a girl." he wasn't sure if she meant those were actually in her room or just a part of the girls' actual building. Either way though it sounded cool and made him realize he'd have to explore the guys' dorm one day instead of the outside.

Though he wasn't sure what kind of princess had a Batman comforter, it didn't really matter. The only reason Viren had started calling Sierra Princess was because she called him bird-boy, and that was apparently over. Even if he'd hardly said her name out loud since they met, he still remembered it and supposed that with her using his actual first name he might as well use hers.

"Kay, sweet dreams Sierra." It came out as a warm goodbye, unpredicted but unavoidable. Curling his wings around as a make-shift blanket of his own, Viren lay down on the concrete to gaze up at the stars. Viren couldn't really watch Sierra descend to her room, somewhere along the lines he'd had to admit to himself that he kinda sorta liked her and thought if he watched her go he'd just ask her to come back and stargaze with him for a while. They were both tired though, so he wanted to refrain from that.

Sierra smiled."The staff gives us a lot of things, you just have to work for them." She nodded her head."Or just find them." She did earn the T.V, but the cocoa machine may have been a little self patronage on one of her pranks."Sweet dreams Zane." Sierra walked slowly towards the trapdoor, gripping the metal handle in her hands for a few moments before yanking it open.

She couldn't help but steal a glance back at Zane. She had fallen. Fallen for a boy in one day. Fallen for someone she hardly knew, yet knew completely. Sierra shook her head fiercely to clear it, then silently shut the trap door."I'm in trouble." She sighed once she was on the other side of the door, but she was smiling. Deep down, she knew Zane would probably break her heart at some point, maybe without realizing it. But at the moment, she didn't care.

It was a magical moment where she felt whole again. Her head buzzed all the way to her dorm, even as she made her mug of cocoa and flipped on the T.V. There wasn't very many good shows on at that time, so she slipped in the Nightmare before Christmas again. For the the first time, it wasn't an aching memory. Instead of it reminding her of her parents watching it with her when she was little, it just gave her those happy feelings that it had at the time. Sierra had to admit, she'd never been happier.

"I should tell Kento." The smarter side of her mind broke into her thoughts. To be honest, she didn't want to tell him. He would end it, tell her she couldn't talk to Zane anymore. Kento was so over-protective if her, and if he sensed anything like romance with Sierra he would pull her away from it. She knew Kento just wanted to keep her safe, since he had a lot more experience than her in this subject, but this time she wanted him to but out."It'll be fine." She snuggled deeper into her pillows and blankets, watching Jack Skelington sing in the graveyard.
