Third Person exercise: project 365
The two brunettes sat on Megan's couch giving each other Mani-Padi's while watching the sixth Harry Potter movie and snacking on frozen yogurt and chocolate Chex mix.

Alex had just finished the last of Megan's nails when her friend asked, "So what's going on at your place?"

Alex looked up and shrugged. "Not much. Just stopped paying for Danielle's tuition," she replied nonchalantly.

Megan looked at her with wide eyes and gapped. "What? What happened?" Alex gave a sigh and began explaining, making sure to make it as short as she possibly could, but with either Megan, Olivia, Rebecca or Kara with her, short stories never existed.

"Oh my gosh!" Megan interrupted as soon as Alex made it clear that she had volunteered to pay for Danielle's tuition, housing fee and books. "You paid for her tuition?" Megan exclaimed in shocked.

"Yeah," Alex replied slowly as if she didn't know what was so shocking about the situation, but then she rethought about the abnormality and understood. "She really needed it, so I decided to pay for it. I mean, it's a small dent in my parents paychecks anyway. So, I thought what the hell, ya know?"

"I'm jealous," Megan stated sticking out her tongue in a childish manner. Alex giggled and shrugged it off. She didn't like to throw her families wealth in other's faces, rather she liked to share it. She was already a giving person and when she was younger and her family didn't have a penny to her name she felt guilty when she couldn't give back to the people who had helped her out.

"Come on," Alex said, changing the subject and getting up from the couch as the credits rolled. "Let's go... do something. I need to get away from this college."

Megan laughed and followed her friend's actions. They cleaned up their mess and left the small townhouse complex and toward Alex's car, not knowing were they were headed. They didn't care either and they began to make a game out of it, which let Alex's troubles slip away as she enjoyed herself.
