Korrie was going to be late. She was going to be really, really late. She'd been lounging around in her dorm room earlier, waiting for the time to come where she could finally head off to the fashion club meeting. But somewhere along the way, she'd managed to fall asleep. And ten minutes after it had started she woke up, staring at her alarm clock with a look of horror. She'd practically launched herself off of her duvet to grab clothes, grabbing pretty much the first things she could find without any consideration for the weather. It was only May, wasn't it? She peeked out her dorm's window for a half second, and then shrugged. It was close enough, she figured. All she had to survive was the short walk from her dorm, down a few floors to the main floor and into the sewing room. She tossed her necessities into her handbag, giving herself a quick once-over before slipping out the door. After all, Isabella d'Este wasn't one of the most well-respected women in the Italian Renaissance, especially for fashion, for looking ratty. Perhaps it was petty; she'd heard it from a few people. But only from the normals- after all, the other reincarnates knew how she felt. It wasn't her fault, now was it?
She slipped through the door of her dorm, closing it quietly behind her. Her roomates Chess and Freya had disappeared a while ago, even long before she'd fallen asleep. It was a messy life, she thought, three artists living together in the same cramped space. It wasn't uncommon to wake up to someone tripping over canvases, paintbrushes, or paint left lingering and laying around the floor. It was almost a free-for-all battle that they'd all silently agreed on, mainly for the entertainment factor. Many of Korrie's friends had learned that trying to walk around in her room and play minefield with art supplies was like having a death-wish. But it was how she preferred it. It was a comfortable sort of chaos, one that only fellow artists would understand.
Checking her phone again as she hurried down the hall and practically jumped down the stairs, she pursed her lips before hurrying her pace. She was twenty minutes later at this point, and she didn't know how long the meeting was going to last. Probably a fair amount, as they usually seemed to. It was an escape for many of the members in there, to talk and act on things that many others didn't understand to this extent. She was glad for the craziness of the fashion club, however- it had brought her nothing but joy since she'd joined it in her sophomore year. There were still some members she hadn't yet gotten to know, especially the ones who had just joined recently.
And by the time she reached the doors of the sewing club, she was a grand total of twenty-three minutes late. She smiled awkwardly, running a hand through her red-brown hair as she chewed nervously on her lip. Heads swivelled to watch her as she slid through the door, eyes scanning for an empty space. Familiar faces offered her bemused smiles. “Sorry I'm late.” she apologized, although to no one in particular. Closing the door behind her, she tucked a piece of stray hair that had fallen from her ponytail behind her ear, and turned to the nearest face, a face that wasn't too familiar. Andy Valterra. She'd seen the girl around on more than one occasion, and smiled a crooked smile. “So, what'd I miss?”
