The Good, The Bad, And The Royal

     Meet August Maria Happy: just like her last name states, she is a ray of sunshine. Along with her goldie locks that shine like the sun, she cares a lot about the law which is why she is majoring in liberal arts. She takes a stand for gender equality and reproductive rights and she's been to multiple protests both in and out of state in the past year. She only started taking a stand after finally being granted a right to go to university, undercover of course, by the king and queen, her parents. She knew they would let her go, she was always a glass-half-full type of girl, always thinking the absolute best. Her radiant smile and big blue eyes made all the men on campus fall for her, only she wasn't interested in guys, they never quite did it for her.

     Enter Zania Lee Cutthroat, just like August's last name, Zania's reflects her as well, with all her piercings: tongue, eyebrow, septum, lips, and ears. Zania was not the girl to mess with. Her hair was a reflection of the night sky. Zania got a DUI last semester of college. She was driving home drunk from a night out with the boys and blew a .12 on the breathalyzer. She now drives a little kiddy car around campus to get to her classes. In her mind, that's better because it causes less harmful emissions to enter the atmosphere. Zania may not look the part, but she cares deeply about the planet. Her passion, however, is acting. She majors in theater arts and is obtaining a minor in French. Zania wants to become an actress; however, if that fails, she assumes she'll either become a Theater Arts teacher or French teacher at a public high school.

     It was the first day of the second semester, the final year of college for both Zania Cutthroat and August Happy, the difference was how they got ready that morning. August woke up around 6:30 AM, ran on her treadmill and did some yoga, took a shower, threw her hair up in a high bun, did her makeup, took her hair down, brushed it out, and walked over to class. August arrived about 30 minutes early and sat in the front row scrolling through politics on her laptop. Zania woke up a good ten minutes before class, rolled out of bed, brushed her short hair and teeth, hopped in her kiddie jeep and jetted to class arriving one minute before the bell. She took a spot right next to August at the front left-most table as to not draw attention to herself for almost being late. The professor walked in as the bell rang and started talking.

     "The seats you are sitting in will be your seats for the rest of the semester. The other person at your table will be your partner for the semester, let's hope you picked a good spot and received a good partner."

     He gave them the rest of the period to get to know their partner. Zania looked to August to take notice of her partner; she looked like a girl out of a sorority house. The beautiful blonde locks, the bigger chest, and a smile like out of a movie. She was the only one to ever make Zania swoon, and she knew right off the bat she had to have her for no other reason besides her swoon-worthy smile and big blue eyes.

     When August saw Zania her heart pumped a little faster, as she could see the beauty behind the piercings. August always wanted a piercing, but her parents would have said "no, a princess should never put any extra holes on her body. Zania's short hair made August wonder what she would look like if her hair had been cut that way. Zania's face was completely clear of acne and you could see her natural beauty even in the bad lighting of the classroom.

     August takes the initiative and puts out her hand to shake, "Hi, I'm August, Liberal Arts Major with a goal of attaining a minor in French."

     To which Zania replies while shaking her hand firmly, "Hey, um, I'm Zania, Theater Arts Major, and I am also hoping to attain a minor in French," she says in a falsetto cheerleader voice attempting to imitate August. After that she laughs, August lets it roll off her back, not letting it bother her. A tactic she learned as a child to be as carefree as possible. Yes, some things bother her, but she rarely lets anything get under her skin. Zania takes literally no shit from anyone, she just doesn't care what people think about her. August offers to go get coffee to better get to know each other, Zania agrees and they head out. They discuss politics, the weather, then their views on the future of planet earth, and the ways people should be helping to save it. They get on well. Zania makes a snap judgment when August orders a small vanilla bean frappe because it literally has no coffee. As soon as they start talking, however, she realizes that August isn't the blonde bimbo she assumed she was, she was invested in helping the world and making it a better place. Zania could tell they'll get on fairly well, so she decided to invite August out for a little hang out at her dorm later in the day. August took off her makeup once she got home, threw her hair up in a messy bun, grabbed a cute cropped sweater and some leggings. She then laid down in her bed for a short nap since she'd already finished her assignments. She woke up around 3:00 PM and headed over to the dorm room that Zania told her to meet up at, she knocked on the dorm room three times and a shirtless guy opened the door.
