Demetria came in to the girl's common room, and threw all of her books onto her bed. Who knew being a fifth year would be so...stressful? She went into her trunk, grabbed the bag of gummy worms she had in there, and sat down at her favorite spot; the window. She looked outside at the beautiful grounds, then back into the room. There were a few firstie's hanging out. Oh how she missed being a firstie. Everything was so new and exciting and the professors only gave you a little homework. As a fifth year they hand it out like it's going out of style. I guess that was good considering Demetria was no where near ready for her O.W.Ls, and they were creeping around the corner more and more each day.

She looked down at the two gummi worms in her hand. One was green, the other was red. Xeha...she hadn't seen her since the first day of school. Even though she knew Xeh wasn't out there, Dem still looked outside with an inch of hope that she would see her by the lake studying or something. All she wanted right now was a friend to hang out with. If her Lizzie and Shay were up here, she would atleast have someone to talk to and pull some tension off of her shoulders. Merlin knows they're probably just as stressed as her.

Out of the corner of her eye, Dem could see her books staring at her, taunting her. She knew she should've been studying, but she just couldn't right now. Right now was her time. She snapped her focus back over towards the window, and continued eating her happy, schoolwork-free, gummi worms.
