Week 18: Friday night
Who: Sydni and Charlie
Where: Charlie's room
When: Friday night, later
Charlie had really made Sydni's evening by extending the invitation to sleepover. She had been feeling rather isolated recently, and Simon was totally right - she was throwing herself a little pity party in her room. She would rather have thought of it as film and food therapy, but the young man had hit the nail on the head. In all honesty, the surprise visit from the youth had lifted her spirits a bit. Helping friends really did distract her from her own problems. Really, in that respect, Sydni's way of dealing with her shit was not all that different from Charlie's - she needed distractions just as much. Hers were probably just less self-destructive.
After the chat with Charlie, Sydni finished her movie (The Goonies seriously had to be her favorite comfort movie) and then tried reading a bit. He had said he was working, and even though he had also said she wouldn't be a distraction, she didn't want to chance interfering anyway. But, she was having a hard time focusing. She hadn't seen her friend really outside of class since he'd returned and she missed spending time with him. It was also comforting to know she'd be spending the night. Considering how lonely she'd been, sharing a bed with someone, especially someone she'd grown so close to, was something to which she really looked forward.
For a while, she tried to soothe her restlessness by debating whether her sleepwear was appropriate for the evening. After changing several times, she decided that her original choice was totally appropriate - it wasn't too revealing, and it was comfy enough to lounge around in. Checking the clock and determining she'd wasted enough time, she removed her sacred jewelry and made her way to Terrene House. After a couple of abandonned efforts, she finally snuck in and made it to Charlie's room. Even though she knew the door was unlocked, she knocked before entering. She would have simply died if she walked in on him, and the knock would give him a chance to warn her away if he wasn't in a situation to see her. "Hey," she said softly as she entered.
