     there were few perks that came with being five foot nothing, but sitting comfortably in a pub booth was definitely high up on the list. sitting criss-crossed on the over-stuffed bench, she munched through the remnants of her lunch. looking up from her journal, she was pleasantly surprised to find another pair of eyes on her. giving the brunette a playful wink, rowena went back to flushing out the previous night’s dream as best as she could from memory. as she switched from the sparkly purple gel pen to the pink one, the woman in question had already crossed the length of the shop with conviction.            “no, no, well sort of,” her tone was still sing-songy in tone, despite the fact that her grin faltered. “my name is rowena,” she corrected gently, “but i did take 302 last year. what’s yours, petal? and i do hope you’re the virgo i’m supposedly waiting for because it was very startling for someone in a dream to look me dead in the face and say, you’re waiting for a virgin.” 

     madeline flushes a light pink at the correction, embarrassed that she had made such a silly little mistake right at their introduction. “ my apologies, i must’ve been far too busy day dreaming in that class. “ she smiled, stealing another chip.” i’m madeline. “ it was odd for her to give her full name, so use to just telling people to call them mads or maddie, but something in her gut was telling her that rowena deserved to know it in its entirety.      “ well i am a virgo, actually. and a virgin, of sorts. “ madeline replies, still flushed at how charming the other girl was. “ are you the one my mum always told me about- ‘ they’ve got beautiful brown eyes, madeline’. “ she mimicked her mother’s light southern accent from before she passed.

“That’s obviously incorrect. I’ve never even heard of him and I’m sure he doesn’t have the same number of Superbowl rings as Tom Brady. God knows I don’t even like the Patriots, but it’s the truth.” 

     “ who the hell are the patriots? “ madeline groaned, rubbing her cheek. “ wait, are you talking about american football? that’s not what i meant ! “

     “ i don’t want to give you free coffee anymore. every time, you come in and ask for like twenty pumps of raspberry and that’s just too weird even for me. “

    mad had caught the eye of the girl from her old english class from across the shop. with a quick mental pep talk they strode across the room to the table; slipping into the seat across from her. “ hey, you’re rowan, right? lit 302? “ she asked, grabbing a chip from the basket in front of her.

      madeline hovered outside the office door, unsure of whether she should just knock or run away before the professor even noticed her. however, she knew that if she ran away- her grade would suffer and if she let herself spiral into worst case scenario thoughts, madeline could flunk out of grad school and her entire schooling would’ve gone to waste. “ professor chavez? are you in? “ she called, poking her head around the corner.
