Week 15: Tuesday
Who: Jillian and Ita
What: Movies and popcorn
When: After dinner
Where: Ita's room
Ita was excited. The weekend had gone pretty well. She had cooked dinner for Easton, a cute guy with a British accent, and had made plans with several people online. Her classes were certainly interesting. They made her feel closer to her parents, since her parents had always taught her how to use her natural abilities. She missed her parents a great deal, even if she didn't let on that she did. And she missed that part of her life, even if she enjoyed being around humans. It was good to be around other supernaturals again.
Tonight, she was having a movie night with one of the people she'd met online, a newbie like her. She'd had every intention of doing her homework after her last class, before dinner, and then until Jillian showed up. However, she'd found a multitude of other things that had to be done right that second, before her guest showed. Things like, organizing a playlist for the evening, arranging the stuffed animals on her spare bed, sweeping the floor, dusting, etc. And then there were the food preparations... She didn't know if Jillian drank, so she made up some virgin daquiri mix, and got out her popcorn popper, and the various flavored powders she had for toppings. Everything was all set up and Ita decided she was much too excited to focus on homework. So she put on her playlist and lay down on her bed to read the romance novel she'd picked up.
Even though she was distracted by reading, Ita kept her ears perked for the arrival of her guest. Soon as she heard the knock, she jumped off her bed and opened the door. "Hey, Jillian!" she began. "I'm wicked excited about tonight. I bought a season of I Love Lucy, since you said you liked old comedies, and then I have my usual collection, too, if you want to see something new. And, I dunno if you drink, so I made virgin mixers, and I have the popcorn ready to go - just gotta pick a flavor. I've got spicy, cheesy, garlic, and just plain butter. What would you like?" Ita finally took a breath. The whole time she'd rambled, she'd led the poor girl over to the spare bed to have a seat, and then she'd taken out the various things she'd mentioned. Ita's whirlwind excitement could be daunting to those who didn't know her well.
