A Second Meeting

Elizabeth really didn't want to be here. But her roommate had begged so here she was trying to dodge drunken advances from overzealous college boys, trying in vain to spot her roommate, Clara, to tell her she was going home. She couldn't see her anywhere, probably hiding in some dark corner with her boyfriend. Just as she decided it was a lost cause, she spotted someone she did recognise. A tall and handsome someone, leaning casually in a doorway drinking a beer. He noticed her at the same time she noticed him and raised his bottle in greeting. "Are you following me?" Elizabeth asked in a teasing tone once she had made her way over to him. He chuckled, "Of course not". Then, "Maybe you're the one following me". "This is my roommate's boyfriends party". She offered as explanation and accepted the beer he passed her. "Ah well, your roommate's boyfriend happens to be my best mate". He clinked the top of his bottle against hers then took a deep drink. She took a drink of her own trying not to notice the way his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he drank. Instead she raised her eyebrows at him, "Thirsty?" "Very, its been a long day. Its lambing season". "Lambing season?" Elizabeth said in surprise. "Oh ... I thought you attended this University". Joseph shook his head, "Nah, I'm not really academically minded, I work on a farm. I much prefer working with my hands". At this Elizabeth looked at his hands. His big, strong, capable looking hands and couldn't help but wonder just how good with them he was. She took a deep drink of her own.

fairuza's family has always been travelers and artisans. throughout her childhood they hopped from place to place which, admittedly, was exciting and fun, but eventually she realized that all her friends felt arms length. nothing was rooted. so when the palette family moved to the arts district of san myshuno, fairuza decided to stay.

still, it wasn't everything that she had dreamed. between school, city life, and trying to make enough to keep rent, her art fell to the wayside. there was no time for inspiration in this endless grind. there was no room for creativity in this cramped living quarter. surely there had to be somewhere for her.

that is when she walked by the notice board in her building and saw: 'tiny town adventure: apply today!'

at least the uniforms were pretty cute. fairuza met a few interesting people in class. although woflgang acted a bit mean, and cassandra seemed to be in an entirely different world most of the time. rashidah was funny, but a little too invested in her new boyfriend. it was cute how he seemed to make her light up. still, there were a few other things they could talk about. the conversation turned boring pretty quickly. it was better than no one to talk to, of course, but it wasn't exactly the close connection that fairuza thought about.
