Routine
It had begun as a random meeting in the coffee shop on campus. As Kelsi turned around after getting her morning cup of Earl Grey, she bumped into Ryan, evidently on the prowl after black coffee.
This led to Ryan concluding that they were obviously both very bitter people and then share Kelsi's incredulous laughter at the horrid pun with a slight tinge of red around his ears.
Soon, Ryan would be waiting for her at exactly 8.08 am with a smile and a Styrofoam cup just for her. They would discuss any- and everything that popped into their heads: news of their friends, schoolwork, movies and musicals. He would then walk her to her first class of the day or, on Wednesdays, when neither of them had classes until twelve, they could be found wandering aimlessly around the park. Eventually, neither could imagine starting their day any other way.
You know, nervous energy concering impending doom (aka exams) can very succesfully be transformed into furious writing. Please, tell me what you think. Love it , hate it, made you want to make a bomb out of household chemicals (in which case you probably should seek professional counsel), just drop me a line and I will be embarrassingly grateful to you.
