“I like math but after years of it I’m ready to be done with math classes. But you’re close! I’m biochemical with an emphasis in med so I can do lab and virus study stuff.” Zach laughed at her last comment, nodding. “I’m pretty old, yeah.”

“Well, shit. I thought I had it in the bag with my guess. I suppose I’ll have to wipe this cocky grin off my face now,” she smirked as she crossed her hands over her chest, with obviously no intention of changing her classic mischievous smile. “Underachiever much, are you?” The sarcasm dripped off her tongue easily. “And here I was, thinking my mere computer science degree sounded somewhat impressive.”

“You know, I’m starting to think this whole astrology thing is shit. Almost every time I read something about a Capricorn it has something to do with stubbornness and I for one am not stubborn. Like what gives?”

[gingerxginger-blog]

“You stubbornly express your lack of stubbornness to a stubborn person with the notoriously most stubborn star sign,” Ginger snickered to herself. “That is some Inception level hypocrisy. Don’t make assumptions purely on your own experiences and invalidate others’. I, for one, fit my star sign extremely well.”

“Do you ever think that richer people count their hundreds like one dollar bills? And like they consider eight hundred to be like eight dollars?”

[gingerxginger-blog]

“I don’t think. I know. Think about kids who live in the Hamptons and how much cash they blow in a day. A coach purse alone can cost over a thousand and that’s nothing in comparison to other shit they can buy on the daily.”

“I’m an engineering student, so a lot of math, and I have to take a few pre-med classes, and then I’m finishing off my CapStone this semester so that’s gonna blow.”

[gingerxginger-blog]

“Hopefully you like math as much as I do, otherwise you’re in for a rough time. What kind of engineering are you thinking of? From what you’ve told me it sounds like biomedical, but as they say, assumptions are dangerous. I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of hoping I’m wrong, and that you’re a computer engineer, so I can steal some study tips. CapStone, huh? You must be an old geezer.”

“Not greedy! I acted as a lookout on this heist. I deserve at least half,” Amani protested though he didn’t try to push his agenda too much, happily content with just taking two of those sweets off her hands. “Ah, is that what you’re doing? I suppose I’ll have you to thank then the next time I land myself a date, hm? Keeping me in top shape,” he smirked, ignoring the fact that he spent most of his days acting like a human garbage truck, inhaling whatever food was presented to him. “Putting anything in the commons area fridge is a risk. And if they didn’t know that before, now they’ll be getting their first lesson.”

[gingerxginger-blog]

“’Not greedy,’ he says as he asks for more,” Colette narrated aloud. She rolled her eyes, but was obviously amused. “Yes, clearly my motives are in your best interest and not meant to suit my selfish and gluttonous nature. At all. I expect a thank you card and a full run-down of your date when, thanks to me and me alone, you land one.” Sarcasm was her go-to, and now was no different. Her words dripped of it and she wore the most smug of grins on her lips. “The best part is that anyone, even people who don’t live in the dorms, can get into the fridge with ease. How dull can one be to leave their stuff out like that?”

“This semester’s gonna kick my ass but I’m ready.”

[gingerxginger-blog]

“Well, with that attitude it will. What kind of hellish classes are you taking that force you to say R.I.P. to your cute little ass? I’ll make sure to avoid them; I like my ass as is.”

“LinkedIn? Hey, that’s that site that my dad uses all the time!” AJ chimed, before immediately thinking better of it. “But, don’t hack into his account and do that. I don’t think that’d be good for business,” he shook his head quickly. “Do you often talk to the air?” AJ wondered, happily taking his well-deserved cinnamon stick. “My name is Andrew Jamie. Most people call me AJ,” he clarified, humming as he took a bite of his dessert. “Pretty good,” he nodded his approval, slowly munching on the sweet treat.

[gingerxginger-blog]

“Don’t worry, I prefer to mess with people’s accounts when I know millions of viewers will see my work. Donald Trump’s next on my list,” she explained in all seriousness. “Besides, I don’t think I could find your dad easily considering I didn’t even know your name up until this moment.” Ginger let out an airy laugh at AJ’s question. “I suppose I do. It’s been proven that people who talk to themselves are more intelligent, though, so I guess thinking aloud is a good habit to have. Not that I need to be more intelligent.” She took a bite at the same time as AJ, and nodded back at his words. “Told ya. You’re very welcome for the sugary goodness that is a Dominoes Cinna Stick. Not that it was mine to give out.” Despite her words, Ginger didn’t seem to regret her crime at all.

[amani-jaiden]

“Just two?” Amani protested at first before his furrowed brow gave way to a lopsided grin, holding his hand out anyway for the offered treat. “I’m kidding about them being mine but I’ll happily help you discard of the evidence for your crime.”

[gingerxginger-blog]

“Don’t get all greedy on me, now,” she scolded with a toothy smile. “Besides, too many cinnamon sticks can become a stomach pouch pretty quickly. It would be such a shame for all of your work at the gym to go to waste. I will eat the majority of them for you and take the fall; just call me your personal fitness martyr.” She crossed her arms in front of her chest, the smirk never quite disappearing. “Kidding? And here I was, so proud of myself for snatching them. Oh well, they’re still someone who lives here’s.”

Harley was just sitting on the couch and minding her own, sketching in her book when she heard Colette talking. She ignored it though until the girl was bouncing in the corner of her eye so she turned to look at the redhead. “I’d say yes, but I have no idea how long those have been in there. I’d rather not get food poisoning. As for leaving a note? Probably. Something like ‘hope those sticks were good, you owe me five bucks or something like that.”

[gingerxginger-blog]

She rolled her eyes when Harley refused the food. “Come on, girl. It’s me tested, me approved! It wouldn’t taste this good if it was growing mold,” she argued, waving the cinnamon stick around like a madwoman as she talked with her hands. “Five bucks my ass. Finder’s keepers. That’s the motto I like to live by. If you don’t want me to take your shit, you should hide it better,” Colette ranted. She shoved the stick she’d been waving in her mouth and walked over to the couch, where she leaned over the backrest intrusively. “What’re you drawing?” she asked as she attempted to sneak a peek at Harley’s work.

AJ had been watching on in thinly-veiled amusement as the bright-haired female continued to rave about cinnamon sticks. It was almost endearing how excited she seemed and he couldn’t help but grin when he was offered one. “You’re very chipper for a thief,” he teased, making grabby hands at the cinnamon stick. “I was going to lie and say I made them myself to make you feel all bad, but you looked so happy, I didn’t want to ruin it.” It just so happened that the person who had purchased them clearly stated they were up for grabs, but AJ wasn’t about to rob this stranger of the sheer enjoyment she seemed to be experiencing. 

[gingerxginger-blog]

“What can I say?” she shrugged with a mischievous smile. “You should’ve seen me when I hacked into LinkedIn. I bet you can’t imagine how giddy I was when I added ‘professional poledancer’ to Bill Gates’s experience list.” She walked over to the other and handed a piece of the dessert to him, rolling her eyes at his hand motions. “You couldn’t make me feel bad if you tried. It might be the sugar speaking, but I don’t think anything could ruin my mood right now. I’ve got my cinnamon sticks, American Dad is on TV tonight, and I’m no longer talking to the air. What’s your name, my dear audience?” she asked, leaning over the counter to be a few inches closer to him.

It’d been quite a ride for Forrest since the last semester ended — he’d gotten his own apartment and a fresh job… only to decide that he wasn’t quite prepared for that level of responsibility, consequently dropping both and excitedly returning to the comfort of naivety that the college dorms provided. And when he ran into a rambling redhead on the way back to his old dorm, he realized that it really was the right decision to come back. “I don’t think many people on this floor are skilled in passive-aggression, so they’ll likely just leave a rather straightforward ‘you suck’ note instead. Could be worse.” The boy cracked a smile and accepted the stick brightly, “Thanks, though this kind of makes me an accomplice to your misdeeds.”

[gingerxginger-blog]

She snickered at the thought of it. “Oh, good, I never did like people who sugarcoat things very much,” she told her listener as she plopped down on the couch. Ginger kicked her feet up on the table and rested her head on the backrest of the sofa. She was obviously content with herself. “I’ve never been in a post-it fight before. Maybe I could respond with something along the lines of ‘yeah, I suck your dad’.  Look at me, now I’m fantasizing about it,” she laughed. Another cinnamon stick was ripped out of the box and shoved greedily into her mouth. “Well, suit yourself, goody two-shoes. More for me. Just don’t rat me out; I’m really looking forward to that post-it battle on the fridge.” 

[amani-jaiden]

Amani’s concentration from his book was broken as he overheard the girl near him seemingly talking to herself. It didn’t take him too long though to catch onto the fact that she was talking to whoever was listening, finding himself perking up even more as she offered him one of her findings. “Yeah, actually. I do want one. Considering I bought them, I figure I should at least get to taste them, right?” he joked, just wanting to see her reaction really.

[gingerxginger-blog]

Ginger cocked her head to the side as she spoke, a smirk beginning to tug at her lips. “Well next time you’ll have to be a bit more clever about hiding them from conniving thieves like me,” she laughed as she walked closer to the boy. “You’re lucky this thief is a generous one. For making them so damn easy to steal, I offer you two cinnamon sticks.” She held her hand up in the air with two fingers lifted, seemingly full of pride for her liberality. “You can thank me later.”
