What a mess... [Amethyst] by Iris Cobb
Iris sat on her bed in her shared room and stared unseeing at the far wall. She was downright miserable, just like she had been all year. Also last year... and before. Previous years she just hadn't really had the ability to focus on it so much. Her stupid brother had been around, doing the stupid brother things he always did... and then some. She still felt sorry for poor Ray. This year though, he wasn't around to distract her and be a convenient outlet. Henry had also been around. She did like Henry, he was a wonderful boy, and she liked him, but... did she love him? She didn't know. It didn't feel like it felt whenever she saw Hans. Which she tried to avoid doing whenever she could, especially if Liesl was there as well. Thankfully it would soon all be over.The door opened and it pulled Iris out of her reverie. There were only a very small number of people it could be, and of course it was the most likely one of them all. Her roommate. Iris' face instinctively scrunched up into her now traditional expression of displeasure at the company. But it fell a moment later into one of tired, sad resignation. They had been such good friends years ago. Did she really want to end things like this? Not really. Ray and Amethyst had been her friends here, and then they were both pretty much gone from her life. Her last few years had been one of loneliness. Iris may not have seen Amethyst show any remorse for the way things had gone, but maybe it was worth trying before it was to late. If it didn't work out, well... they would go their separate ways anyway. Amethyst off to her life of ease and luxury, and Iris off to somewhere. She wasn't even entirely sure yet, not back to the mountain. At least not to their community, maybe to the Cobbson place short term, but she didn't want to stay with Billy and Ray long term.
Iris gave her roommate a weak, half-hearted smile and said more to her than she had in what seemed like ages. "Hi."
