The dorm was quiet for once. The usual sound of voices was not heard. The warm spring atmosphere had snuck indoors, and now gave the dorm a comfortable, warm atmosphere. All the windows were open, to welcome in the warmth of the sun's rays. Suddenly, the door opened, and in burst a girl. And what a sight she was! She was a peculiar sight, indeed; her clothes were normal, as she had white kakhi shorts on, along with an orange tank top and a pair of Adidas shoes. What was strange about it was the large object she had in her mouth. It was long, and white on the bottom; on the top, it was white and blue striped. It looked peculiarly like a snake, and it was; for it was a candy snake, Blue Rasperry flavored, a kind she particularly enjoyed, one could tell from the vibrant smile on her face.
At the soonest possible moment, she released her white-knuckle grip on the handles of her largest suitcase. It clattered to the floor noisily. Thankfully, it did not burst open; otherwise, she would have had to pick up all the contents individually. With a great sigh, she smiled, and lifted her hand to her forehead, where she swept back her auburn hair, then reached to take the candy snake out of her mouth. Her eyes were directed forward, looking out the window. She was glad she was here; it had been a long drive from her native Aubrey, Texas, but it was worth it. She would finally be able to be around horses, including her own. She had received four stallions for her incredibly good grades this semester, finishing with a 4.5 GPA. She could hardly believe it when she recieved the letter, notifying her that her reward waited at the end of a long car ride. Now, she was here, and she was going to get to see her horses for the first time!
Exhausted, she heaved the suitcase up onto the bed, turned, and collapsed in a heap next to it. She continued to bite on her long candy snake, looking at the ceiling, and thinking to herself. She wondered what she should do.
"Well, I suppose I must first unpack. That would be an intelligent thing to do!"
Her mind set, she bounced up from the bed and flung open her suitcase, grabbing piles of neatly folded clothes and tucking them into the drawers of the large dresser. She then took out all her other things; some shampoo and conditioner, her tooth brush, her hair brush, a sock (how did that get in there?) and tooth paste, along with hair accessories, in that order. Once she had unloaded her stuff, she took her now-empty bags and tossed them into the closet, and stood back to admire her work. A pleased smile crossed her face, and then one of puzzled thoughtfulness.
"Now, what am I going to do?"
