Who: Sakura, Shino, Lit Class full of NPCs
What: The hard science kids hiding in the back of the class while the lit majors pontificate all over the place in the front. Also, there's a spider, and Sakura's geeky past comes to light.
Where: Literature Class, in whatever college we are, Jesus.
When: Friday, October 2nd


She wasn't bored at all, you see. Boredom had nothing to do with why her foot tapped against the floor. It was Friday. Last class of the week. She was already envisioning that warm bath she'd subject herself to, and the cup of tea right before sleeping a bit. To be in time for her first day at Naruto's place. In all honesty, she was nervous about it. By the end of October, she had every intention of telling her parents that she was a big girl who'd take her own decisions and if they didn't like them, they could suck it.

So, the class wasn't at fault at all, it was her mind going at 1000 miles per hours, analysing all possibilities of the nearby future, while still paying attention to what the professor droned out to them. Back at the end of the classroom, it was a question of either straining her ears or buying the book from which the professor took his notes. But Sakura was in a pinch anyway, so straining her ears it was. She was grateful that she at least had a quiet benchmate like Shino. He didn't fall asleep in class and then ask for her notes, at least.

Letting out a small huff, Sakura tapped her pen against her notepad twice before staring to write.

The symbolism in Byron's third piece is

Leaning up toward the corner of the window, almost off the balls of his feet despite his height because of his slightly awkward angle of approach, the young entomologist found himself caught between scrunching his nose to look through his glasses and un-scrunching it to look over the top. In the end, he opted for tugging them off entirely for the moment as he studied the little spider curled up in its new corner.

It meant that glancing over his shoulder when the girl spoke up again resulted in a slightly hazy view of her pink-framed face, but that hardly mattered. He could see the Agelena opulenta clearly, and that was the much more fascinating thing at the moment.

{Although, his mind admitted quietly to itself, it was vaguely fascinating that there was a girl in the universe who fit snugly into the diverse categories of (1) being someone he could talk to, (2) being someone who saved insects rather than squishing them, and (3) being someone really rather aesthetically appealing of the opposite gender. That, however, could be set aside until he'd unraveled the mystery of the possibly more appealing 8-legged beauty in the corner of the window.)

"...when I can," he replied quietly, turning back to rest his forehead slightly against the window pane, squinting up at the fussy little web. "...they don't usually do this."

"Don't they? Because I've seen so many of them at my grandmother's place when I was young..." she mused, lifting up her hand and brushing one finger over the window, right where the spider was.

"I never learned farther than that Bugs for Kids book mom gave me when I was seven, though, so you're the expert. What do we do?"

It was kind of exciting, really. Like an adventure.
