Nicole sighed as she arrived back at the townhouse she shared with some of the other students she was going to college with. While she described herself as ordinary, the truth was that she was fascinated with the occult. She loved things like seances, ESP, and looking into the future. This was why a fortune teller hassling her about being a cop was such a disappointment. If that fat psychic had been the real deal...
Nicole let her mind wander as she sat on one of the couches in the townhouse living room, idly playing with a few strands of her long brown hair. Then, she heard her stomach gurgle. Nicole grimaced as she got up to make herself dinner. Her first semester of college was proving to be tougher than she'd been anticipating, and among other things she noticed that she'd already put on the dreaded "freshmen fifteen."

She was also wrestling with the guilt of having totally failed her diet for the night. She vowed that once she'd slept the food baby off that she'd try and take a long walk in the morning before class to try and work of what would undoubtedly be some new excess pounds in the morning.
