*This is the second chapter of a story that I posted here a while back. This has accidentally grown way longer than what’s usual on this sub, but since some people enjoyed part one I’m posting here just in case :)*
To Yolanda’s surprise the air in her room was fresh. There also seemed to be an odd feel about the place, a feel she couldn’t quite place. Oh well, it’s only to be expected that a massive exorcism would upset the texture of reality a little bit.
The door swung open and Diane burst in.
“Hey,” Yolanda, said, “do you want to…”
“Sorry. Got to go.” Yolanda peered at her roommate. She seemed very tense, her motions urgent as she threw a bunch of books and tools into her bag.
“Got to go…? Don’t you have time off now usually?”
Diane flung the bag over her shoulder and gave Yolanda an empty look.
“Found a mistake in my Patterns homework. Got to fix it quick.” With that she rushed off, and the door slammed shut behind her.
Yolanda shook her head. There was a lot to admire about Diane’s drive, but she sometimes worried that the girl would burn herself out.
