lost track of time.

His shoulders were so stiff. It ached to roll them. Shutting his eyes and nodding to himself, he pushed his chair back away from the table and stretched his arms up. Rolling his shoulders slowly as not to cause any further pain to them. Jitae had spent most of the day in the Library of Alexandria hunched over his notes and textbooks. There was an exam coming up soon and he needed to focus as much as possible, writing evaluations was one of his weaknesses and he needed to address that as soon as possible. He hated having to remember every little detail of a psychological study, it felt so tedious, but this is the path he had chosen so it’s best to shut up and suck it up.
Feeling that just stretching his arms wasn’t enough, Jitae stood from the chair and groaned feeling the tiredness from all of his joints. How long had he been sitting like that for? Wincing slightly as he craned his neck to glance at the clock, his eyes maintained their ever present sleepy appearance. That is, until he read how late it was. They snapped open wide within milliseconds.
“How has it gotten so late..?” he whined softly to himself. He had immediately trekked to the library after his last class of the day, needing to rewrite his notes to remember all of the variables and controls from the study synopsis he received that very day. He had been so caught up in his work that he genuinely did not feel the time pass, or notice the population dwindling within the library.
It was so late that he didn’t even eat... luckily, he always kept some snacks in his backpack. He reached in and grabbed the plastic lunch bag containing five oreos. He smiled tiredly seeing the perfect number of cookies and proceeded to nibble on them quietly. “I wonder if there’s anyone else here...” he thought, deciding to take a small break to just gaze around the quiet building. There was one other person that Jitae could see. He frowned in concern, thinking how tired that boy must be. “Hopefully he finishes quickly and can proceed home for the night..” Jitae sighs around oreo cream and then turns his body to return to his own studying. What a drag...
