I will say Chris and Lauren. I’ve always imagined Havana with someone who is way more different than Chris. But of course I want to see more of the both ships, maybe my opinion will change.

Having got out of her classes early that morning, there was no denying that Lauren was in a surprisingly good mood. Under normal circumstances, Lauren wouldn’t have been happy about the early dismissal due to her incessant need to focus on her schoolwork, but lately, she’d been well.. for lack of a better word, distracted. She’d attempted to chalk it up to her discussions with her brother about feelings and her lack of a relationship in her life, but Lauren didn’t think it was because of that. Not entirely at least, because unlike the majority of her peers, she’d never once wanted a boyfriend, or even kissed anyone. In fact, it had only been the teasing of her classmates that had spurred her into thinking about the topic to begin with. And now that she had, Lauren couldn’t help but obsess over it, wondering if perhaps there was something that was wrong with her, something that caused her to be so disinterested in the things that her peers found fascinating. And like anyone who thought most of the time, Lauren genuinely couldn’t bring herself to stop. Because of that, she was happy she wasn’t in class – because obsessing over her social problems wasn’t exactly conducive to academic performance. With a small sigh, she wandered into her dormitory, glancing around before calling out, “Helene? Are you here?” Even if she’d wanted to be alone only moments before, Lauren couldn’t help but hope that her roommate would be present. After all, Helene was perhaps the only friend that Lauren had, and she couldn’t help but hope that her friend would be able to set her worries at ease.

Dear Lauren,

I don’t know you much, but I heard you run out of strawberry lipstick often, so I figured I should get you a reserve as your first present!  I hope you like them.
