Targeted

[@ Anyone who wants to!] There were times that Emily really truly wanted to believe in the best of people and her own personality would get in the way.  She had been trying more recently to be nicer(and actually mean it).  She was honestly getting tired of being alone all the time and really thought that she could use a friend or two to make her time at SNU a little less lonely.

This was not one of those times.

At this moment, though, she was ready to say ‘fuck that’ and watch the whole thing burn down. She was on the way to class, granted it was one she had been considering skipping out on anyway, but not for the reason that was about to be given to her.  Before being able to see who or where they came from, she was pelted by multiple water balloons, practically soaking her from head to toe.  Pushing a bunch of wet hair out of her face, a furious Emily scanned the area to find the culprit, her burning eyes setting on one person nearby.  “You.  Was it you!?”

Take a Seat

Why were there so many people in the cafeteria today? Was it a family weekend or something and she missed it? It seemed like there was a lot more people than usual, enough so that Emily couldn’t seem to find a table to sit at by herself like she had hoped for.  She contemplated for a moment to go outside and sit, but she recalled how hot it was outside when she had made her way to the building, and she didn’t feel like becoming a puddle of sweat just to eat a chicken sandwich.

She kept searching until finally coming to the realization that she really needed to just swallow her pride and find someone that had an open seat at their table.  She sighed, walking with purpose over to a table that did just have one person at it, holding her lunch in one hand and placing her other one on the chair. “Would you mind if I sit here?”  She had an impulse to just sit down without an answer, but she was trying to be a better person lately.

School Daze

Open to Anyone

Normally, Matthew wasn’t someone who slacked off during class, despite what people likely thought about his “dumb jock” exterior, he actually did try hard, frequently doing well in his classes.  He was never the top of the class or anything, but he was never in a situation where he was in danger of academic probation or anything, which was saying more than some athletes on campus. 

Today, however, he was slacking.  Well, maybe not exactly slacking, because it wasn’t by his choice, but he kept on drifting off to sleep.  A few late night study sessions, followed up by practices, games, two nights of partying over the previous weekend, and it lead to a tired Matthew. 

The scraping of chairs against the floor signalling students leaving the class caused him to jerk his head up off of the backpack he was using for a pillow. He had apparently slept through the whole thing.  Gathering his things, he left and spotted one of his classmates that he knew.  “Hey... so I’m kind of an idiot and fell asleep in class today, if I buy us some food, think I could copy over your notes?”
