No Distractions

For the first time since she arrived at Lunaris Academy, Violet woke up with a genuine smile on her face. Stretching thoroughly on the bed with a contented groan, she let herself bask in the rare feeling of happiness. When her gaze landed on her three roommates, she stopped and waved cheerfully, "Morning, roomies."

The room fell silent. Not just Ivy, but Daisy and Lila stared at her like she had sprouted a second head. This was uncharacteristic of Violet. No, it was the first time Violet had ever called them "roomies."

Usually, she offered a curt and impersonal "Good morning" to cover all three of them, and that was only on the rare occasions she acknowledged them at all..

Ivy prided herself on being the resident snob, but Violet's icy demeanor made her seem warm in comparison

None of them dared say a word as they watched Violet saunter into the bathroom, humming softly under her breath.
