done!; closed log;
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

That got a reaction. It wasn't another smile, but it was certainly a reaction. The first comment got a slightly bemused expression onto his face (something like a slight head-tilt and tiny pursing of his lips), while the unnecessary little point of contact brought a very slight tension to his shoulders.

It was the sort of reaction he'd always had, even to involuntary touching. When his father absentmindedly reached over to smooth his hair, it was fine. When a stranger brushed passed him on the street, it felt invasive.

"Celebrate relocating a spider?"

She raised an eyebrow at that. Twitchy around touch, or was it just her? She shook her head. "Relocating a spider, interrupting Literature class to give them a lesson in what really symbolizes life, having talked more than half an hour, and oh--"

She smiled.

"You, passing notes."

...oh. That.

Something like a sheepish look creept over his face, shoulders softening again as he tilted his head away from her with an apologetic twitch of his lips. As much as the first few things were silly and amazingly friendly things, the last stung just a little, most likely unintentionally.

"That's not really something to celebrate."

"Oh, it is. It's like the beginning of a new friendship," she corrected him. "All Casablancaish."

She paused. "Except I'm not going to shoot you, and I really have no-one to whom I can promise to always have Paris, but that's irrelevant," she concluded, waving her hand dissmissively. "Anyway, do you like muffins?"
