Jade comes back home from the shop with a happy expression still planted on her face. Meeting Cleo for the first time was something that needed to happen. Jade had lost her thunder and was about to regain it with the help of her new friend. She walks into her bedroom and sets her shopping bag on the desk and changes into her loungewear. Faith walks into the room.

"Oh! You're back! Where'd you go?" Faith asked.

"I went back to the sex shop," Jade said.

"Oh really? You finally bought a toy?" Faith asked with a smirk.

"Not just one toy," Jade said.

"You bought more?? I wanna see it!!" Faith said.

"I will show you later. We need to start studying for our finals together!" Jade said.

"Oh yeah! House study group! And after we take our finals, we can help Olivia start setting up preparations for the dance!" Faith asked.

"Exactly! Now when are we doing this study group?" Jade asked.

"Well the rest of the girls are in their last classes I think. So maybe we can set up the living room as a chill and lit study session." Faith said.

"I'm with that. I'll make the snacks and you start setting up the living room!" Jade said.

Jade heads straight for the kitchen to make the snacks while Faith gets out the comfy blankets and pillows to set on the floor. She also gets pencils, pens, highlighters, and bright note cards and sets them on the coffee table. She even puts on a Lofi hip hop stream. Jade immediately notices the music and starts to think about Carlos yet again. She remembers listening to the same music stream their study session and it made her think about the girl yet again. Her mind wanders about those two for a while that she doesn't realize that Faith's been calling her name.

"JADE!" Faith shouted.

Jade slightly jumps up at the time of Faith's voice."

"I'm sorry, you said something Faith?" Jade asked.

"I said what do you think?" Faith asking Jade about the living room.

"Looks nice! I'm sure the girls are going to love it!" Jade said.
_______________________________
Soon enough, the rest of the girls came back home and were very surprised by the setup. They all got settled on the living room floor, get out their textbooks and notebooks and begin their start their study session. Faith and Jade worked on their math, Olivia worked on her final research paper for her business class, and Scarlett and Gwen quizzed each other on their knowledge of biology. They munch on the snacks that Jade had prepared and share some laughs as they complain about how difficult their finals will be. Typical things that college students stress about. As they go further into their studies, Jade decided to switch the Lofi stream into an R&B stream just because the more she listened to the previous stream, the more she thought of Carlos.

"How come you changed the music?" Olivia asked.

"It was making me sleepy and I need to be awake for at least another hour to get through this horrible math study guide," Jade said.

"You're right. I'm almost done with this stupid essay." Olivia said.

Olivia turns to Scarlett and Gwen.
