Friday, July 3rd.

After the default trip of 15 minutes, Madelynn arrived at home. When she approached the main doors of the building, Madelynn walked past a couple of students who were outside the building, just relaxing and smoking. The air of the smoke reached Madelynn's nostrils and it gave a small stir to an addiction Madelynn had conquered. She had to admit to herself, she missed it.

Ignoring the smell of the smoke, she walked up the tiny stairs and through the doors, all the while she could feel the piercing gaze of a few of the group members eyes on her.

Madelynn sauntered through the hallways towards her dorm, occasionally peeking into open dorm rooms and waving at her new neighbours before moving on. She made a mental note to herself to go introduce herself to them in the coming weeks.

Madelynn came into the dorm and a smell of food hit her. Celine was over in the kitchen busy with cooking dinner.

-"Hey, what're you making?" Madelynn asked.

"Just some lasagna" Celine replied without even looking back at Madelynn.

"Are we still on for tonight?"

-"Yea, of course. How long till dinner is ready then?"

"About an hour." Up until now Celine hadn't even turned to look at Madelynn, but now turned around. She instantly noticed the new clothing Madelynn had on. A fluster coming over her.

"Damn Maddy, you look great!"

-"Oh, thanks" Madelynn replied, averting her gaze towards the floor. She tucked a bit of hair behind her ear and a tint of red adorned her face.

"You look kind of tense as well." Celine noted.

-"Yea I kind of am. Really nervous" Madelynn let out a nervous chuckle when she said it.

"How about you take a bath while I make dinner, just so you can relax a bit. Have a little wine as well, get those nerves down." Celine suggested. It sounded like a good idea to Madelynn, and she agreed happily.

Celine handed Madelynn a glass of red wine, which she took into the bathroom. Madelynn filled the bath with hot water and picked a combination of bath oils she usually used. When the bath was full she got in and started to relax. Madelynn completely forgot about everything for a moment. All that counted for now was the taste of the wine, the heat of the water and the relaxing effects of the bath oils.

Before she knew it, there was a knock at the door.

-"Yea?" Madelynn called out.

"Dinner is ready in 5 minutes" came the reply.

-"I'll be right out." Reluctantly, Madelynn got up from her bath, now cooled down a lot. She dried herself off and put her long blonde and blue hair in a ponytail. With a towel wrapped around her, Madelynn went into the common area for a minute.

-"So, what clothes should I wear, for after dinner?" Madelynn asked, avoiding Celine's gaze.

"Anything comfortable I guess. Easy to move in and no 'hard' parts." Celine said.

-"Alright, be right there." Madelynn retreated to her room and opened the closet. Madelynn opted for the most comfortable and easy to move in clothes, and thus put on her usual gym outfit; Black yoga pants and sports bra. She left her feet and neck bare. When she was dressed, she moved into the common area and had dinner with Celine.

The girls talked general banter during dinner and laughed a lot, like they usually do. Both of them kind of forgetting the nerves they had felt 10 minutes earlier. However, at some point, Celine brought it up when they were finishing up their dinner.

"So, we should talk about our little session, don't you think?" she said.

-"I guess so" Madelynn replied.

"So, seeing as we decided to take things slow, and our general lack of supplies, I looked up on how to tie you up with things we might have laying around. So tonight we're just going to use scarfs, seeing as we have plenty of those." Celine explained. Madelynn just nodded, understanding her friend but **** to interrupt her.

"I did some extensive research, encountered a lot of things we have nothing to do with" Celine laughed, and with a playful tone added: "yet, anyway."

"But also some things we can do. Do you want to plan everything ahead, or just see where things go?"

-"Let's just see where things go in the moment. I'll follow your lead." Madelynn finally spoke.

"Alright. We're not doing anything crazy tonight, but we don't know how either of us might react to the situation. So if anything is wrong or you feel uncomfortable, just tell me. If anything is wrong I'll get you out and we can stop. We'll talk about it if you want, maybe even try again if you want. Just remember communication is key" Celine continued.

Madelynn nodded her head in acknowledgement.

"So... Are you ready?"
