So I managed to avoid Jack until Tuesday; yes I am a coward go ahead and laugh. Clearly I am not built for friends with benefits. It was actually pretty easy we
only have one class together (History of the Ancient World Tues/Thrus). The person I saw a lot of was Jim, who would give this knowing flyboy smirk whenever he
saw me duck around a corner. Bastard, don't know what Meg sees in him, he must be great in bed. Thank god I have the science part of campus to hide in, Jack
would rather get hives then come here. Today being Tuesday, I have my usual lunch with Milo, my lab partner freshman year. Milo is…. a uber geek to put it mildly,
loves languages, history and chemistry. He did one of the build-you-own degree deals; he wants to use chemistry to figure things out about the ancient world,
like what was in their wine and medicine and so on. Today we are joined by sister Belle. Now Belle is special, she has a really good memory. Not of facts but of
faces.
She has a job with resident life here; rumor is she knows every student here. Needless to say I love to ask her about people. "So who is he?" I say
pointing to the blond kid two tables over with my sandwich. Belle barely looks up "Edward Elric, junior, engineering major, younger brother just started here."
"And her?" Belle actually has to look for a second now but then… "Esmeralda, dance major, friends with your roommate I believe" Huh interesting better file that
away for future reference. It takes until lunch is over for Milo to finally ask, "Lex why do you keep checking the room every 10 seconds?" Damn gave myself away.
"No reason" I say with a blinding smile. Milo looks skeptical and Belle is giving me one of her searching looks, but neither one pushes it. Now if I can just get
through History I am home free. I walk into the lecture hall to find Frost sitting next to my usual seat reclining. Fuck.
