Rachel tossed and turned in her bed, unable to drift off to sleep. Uni stress had been getting to her lately, and to make things worse she had a new roommate move in that week. Lily was friendly, went to the same university, and was fine to live with, but the girls hadn’t gotten to know each other properly yet, and so Rachel felt like she couldn’t be herself when she got home after a long day. She used to love walking around the apartment naked when she lived alone. Still, she was grateful to be able to afford rent, and was sure she and Lily would become close eventually, so she wouldn’t have to feel like she was putting on heirs in her own home.
What she didn’t know was just how close the pair would become, and how fast it would be before Rachel felt comfortable walking around the apartment naked again.
She stared at her bedside clock. Almost one in the morning. She had to get to sleep to be well rested for class in just seven hours. She resigned herself to the fact that she wasn’t going to get a proper night’s rest, and she’d have to caffeinate herself into the cloud again tomorrow.
