Eve sat on her bed, scrolling down Facebook on her laptop as a film score played quietly in the background. Eyes darted to the time at the bottom of her screen, sighing deeply. She'd have to leave soon to go to Mandy's, not that she was particularly enthusiastic about it. She knew all her friends would be going, it was the last chance they were going to have to see each other before they all traveled home. For Eve, she wasn't even sure she wanted to go home.
