    Would you like to start us off? I'll have my character set down here:

    Display Spoiler

    No problem! I'm thinking we could start off in the morning, maybe Coal waking up Emma by call or by person? That's just my suggestion though, if you have another idea in mind, go with it!

    It was earlier morning, coal laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling, with an emotionless glare. He felt numb, like he wasn’t himself anymore, everything around him fading slowly...

    BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

    Broken from his thoughts he quickly looked over at his clock and rolled his eyes before shutting it off, sitting up slowly before he grabbed his phone and began to check through everything,

    “Ugh... today’s borin”

    He whispered before shutting his phone off and slipping his jeans on that laid on the floor by his bed. Coal, groggy and tired, walked over to his closet and pulled out a grey tank top and slipped on his high tops before walking out the door and making a quick phone call,

    “You better answer...”

    He teased as a small grin cane to his face as he eventually walked over to a door and knocking on it loudly,

    “Wakes wakey!”

    He yelled through the door before looking at the time,

    “Come on your gonna be late!”

    He called as he leaned against the frame. He had walked over to the home of one of his bestest friends, Emma....

    Emma, bless her soul, was fast asleep until a cheery ring tone sang out of her phone. She groaned as she began to wake up from the noise. She blinked a couple times to get accustomed to the light pouring into her room from her bedroom window, and held her phone to see who was calling. Oh, Coal. She answered it, but didn't say anything. She closed her eyes, debating on staying in bed and going back to sleep.

    She was about to when she heard the loud knock and voice of none only. "Huaaagh, fine...." Emma whined, sleepy as she dragged herself out of bed.

    She opened the door, still nearly dozing off as she stood and still in her simple pajamas; light grey pajama pants and the matching green shirt it came with. The only non-pajama item was her slip-on shoes, "Ok... let's go, Coal...."

    He looked at her and crossed his arms,

    “Emma becuase I’m your friend you can’t go in that, and when your fully awake you’ll thank me. Now go change”

    He laughed before turning her around and gently pushing her back into the room,

    “You told me you had a outfit picked out special, so get it on and actually get ready this time”

    He laughed as she leaned in the door way and looked down at his phone, playing games until she was done

    "Whateverrr..." Emma grumbled as she was turned back into her apartment by him. However, thanks to the reminder, she opened her eyes a little wider (than the droopy expression she had on), "Oh... yeah. I did." She was more awake than she was before as she headed back into her room. She closed the door that lead to her room to give herself privacy to change, as she kept the apartment door open if Coal wanted to come in.

    "Ok... I think I had it hanging in my closet." She said, kicking aside slippers that sat in front of her wooden outside closet. Opening the door, she took out a longer white shirt and light blue jean shorts. She put on a pink sweater over her, and hurriedly brushed her short hair. She hadn't much cared for makeup or anything extra, Emma was still sleepy. Now ready, she picked up her backpack and phone and ready to go.

    "I'm ready now, let's go." She announced herself, holding herself from yawning.

    Coal looked at her as she walked toward him and smiled,

    “Better, Alrighty let’s hurry”

    He said softly before putting his phone in his pocket and heading out,

    “So you ready?”

    He questioned as they walked out to a run down Chevy two door pick up. It was painted black with a leather interior, it was needless to say Coal’s baby. He unlocked the doors and got into the driver side, letting out a tired yawn as e started the engine, the ac instantly blacking as he did so.

    "Yeah. I have my major history paper in my pack already." Emma replied, walking along side Coal to his car. She remembered when he first got it and how Coal talked about it for three hours on it too her. She didn't mind, but she could tell that he loved his car. It was very well cared for, for an already run down ride.

    While Emma could easily ride herself to wherever she needed to go, she had a neat light blue moped scooter. It was newer, and she saved up for it. However, Coal's was quicker.

    Emma had a delayed reaction to getting blasted with the AC as she got in. "You might wanna turn it down." She said, her voice wavering as if she was speaking into a fan.


    // sorry for dissapearing for 2 days, life had me busy

    No your fine, life’s got me going 24/7 as well lately))


    Coal laughed slightly before shutting it off and backing out, heading straight to school they went,

    “So what do you wanna do after your classes today?”

    He questioned as he drove. He didn’t like silence, he always either had to be talking to somebody or music was playing, the silence took him back to back times that he didn’t care to remember, that why he feels like he struggles during tests abd etc

    Emma remembered as Coal asked and as she looked out the traffic ahead of them, "Me and my friend Amber planned to go to a new cafe that opened up a couple days ago, by Elm Street?" Elm Street as a block parallel from the college, sitting near the commercial shops in that area.

    "Have you met Amber? You're free to come with us." Emma asked.

    He shrugged slightly,

    “I dunno, your friends normally don’t end up liking me in the end but it’s worth a shot. I mean remember when I met Sarah? That was horrible”

    He mumbled under his breath at the thought of that women befor eahkaykng his head,

    “Emma sounds like a decent person though so why not”

    He commented before reaching their destination and getting out, both of them heading inside

    Emma frowned at the mention of Sarah, "Ah... yeah." She remembers the massive complaints she gotten from Sarah the day after the two had met. Nowadays, Sarah didn't much talk to her after that, other than non-verbal communication. Oh well, there will be others.
    "I think you two might be able to like each other," Emma got out of the car as they head inside the school.

    "Okay, I'm going to head to class. See you later, Coal!" She said, smiling and with a little wave as she headed to her first class. A couple feet after she walked away, her ankle bent and she very nearly fully tripped, catching herself with a little comical "woo!"

    Coal watched her go before laughing and alittle and shaking his head,

    “So clumsy”

    He chuckled to himself as he headed off to his own classes. Upon entering the room and he took his seat and looked at the front of the class, sure he was social when he wanted to be but today he didn’t much feel like he wanted to, he felt like he wanted to crawl in a home and hide type of thing, maybe it was cuz he was tired?

    Emma found her class, and chosen the seat where Amber was sitting. "Hey Emma!" The girl greeted her, "You look like you actually got up on time today!" She teased.
    Emma smiled, though her laugh was nervous on the call out, "Ah, yeah. My friend woke me up. He usual does by calling me." She placed her pack on the back part of her chair.

    "Really?" Amber asked, crossing her hands and peering closer. "Mhm! Oh, speaking of, would you mind if he joined us when we go to the cafe?" Emma questioned.
    "Sure, the more the merrier! Plus, I get to know whose your poor waking bird. Do you know what you'd want to order when you get there?" Amber asked. Before Emma got to answer, the professor for their class walked in, and began the session. It was a saving grace for Emma because she didn't know what to order.

    As the day went by, slow and boring, classes finally let out for the day. Coal walk down the hall with a sigh before letting out a small yawn, why was he so tired? His thought broke when he saw Emma thiugh and he walked over to her and poked her in the ribs,

    “Hey, we still going to the cafe?”

    He questioned softly as he leaned against the wall

    Emma had almost fallen asleep in her class, from waking up early, if not for Amber poking her back awake. Once class was done, Emma stretched in her chair. "I think I got all my notes," She says cheerfully, putting her notebook and pens back in her backpack. :Even with all your nodding off?" Amber questioned, "I have to use the restroom, wait for me?"

    "Sure! I'll be outside." Emma said, and was waiting for her in the hall when Coal poked her in the ribs. She reflectively rubbed the hurt area, "Ow!" Emma squeaked. She poked Coal's arm as revenge.

    "Yeah, we are. I'm waiting for her to come back from the restroom." Emma leaned on the wall as well.

    "Did class knock you out too? You look a little tired." She asked.
