“I do know! You love it a lot. You love coffee like I love cats. It is an animated movie but it is great! Come on, watch it with me pleaseeee?” She begged with a smile and a flutter of her eyes. “Yes! If it would help you study then I would.” 

“Exactly.” Aaron agree. The blonde almost rolled his eyes when she suggested watching an animated movie but instead he smiled. “Okay, but only because you’re giving me free candy.” he chuckled.

she laughed nodding, “i’ll get right on that for you be the first person to model off an isabel evans original.” she smiled looking up at him as they walked, “though you know this means you need to spend a bit more time with me so i can make sure everything is all good on you right?”

Aaron nodded. “I’d be an honor.” he chuckled. “Spend more time with you? You say that like it’s a bad thing - like I don’t want to spend quality time with you already.”

lainey joined in as soon as he started to pack his stuff up, flipping her own book closed and shoving it into her bag. “ cool, ‘cause i was really starting to need some fresh air, actually, ” she admitted with a little sigh, getting to her feet and tossing her bag over her shoulder. “ maybe we’ll find something NEAT while we’re at it. ”

“The library has this certain smell to it that makes my head ache after a while.” he admitted. Aaron slung his backpack over his shoulder and started leading them out the door. “Right, the possibilities are endless when you go on walks.” he said with a grin. 

She laughed lightly shaking her head, rolling her eyes at the simple joke not bothering to answer the question in it’s self. Making a face she sighed, “I designed something I may look good on me, I’ll do you next. Make you look dapper when I wear the look so we make heads turn.”

“Yes!” he beamed. “We’d be the hottest kids on campus. You should design me something for the charity event and we can be that pair that takes all their pictures together because we’re matching.”

shutting her notebook, the female nodded in understanding. “well, we have been here a while,” she agreed with a shrug. “either of those sound good to me. you’re the one who wants to do something though so i’ll leave it up to you.”

Aaron smiled. “We’ve done our fair share of studying for the day.” he told her. “Let’s go be kids. Wanna go for an adventure?” he asked, raising his brow. 

raising his brows samuel leaned back in his chair not looking like he was about to leave. “ well i’m not the one desperate to get out of here so i’m not gonna do your work. ” he shrugged a look of nonchalance on his features. “ i figured you knew what you wanted to do. ”

Aaron chuckled. “You wouldn’t want to do this. I don’t even want to do this and it’s my ass on the line.” she told him. “Nah, not really. I’m a really go with the flow kind of guy, you know?”

“You should be very honoured indeed. It’s a great title to have.” Tj continued to tease. When they finally reached the bar, Tj made his way over to the counter and ordered two beers. One for himself, and one for Aaron. “So aside from boring yourself to death in the library, what have you been up to today?” the blonde questioned conversationally.

“Second is the first to loose. You should know that since you’re so athletic.” he said with a laugh. Aaron sat on the barstool next to him and put his bag on the floor next to them. Grabbing the beer, he took a sip. “aahhhh” he laughed. “I tried to text Bella but she hasn’t answered yet. She definitely hates me.”

“oh god, please just stop,” she continued as she got up from their table. following him up to the top of the building, “i honestly have no idea. you’re seriously the luckiest person on campus right now,” the blonde replied simply. with everything that had been happening recently, she was more than glad to not be spoiling others with food. “maybe even get you a drink if you’re lucky.”

Aaron furrowed his brow. “What? What is say?” he questioned in confusion. He nodded. “Yeah, damn there must be a lot of kids on campus right now so that makes me pretty lucky. And a drink? Honestly, wow. Just wow. I must be Irish because I’m lucky as fuck right now.”

Eli smiled at Aaron. “Perfect. We can grab a drink and talk about what it is that interests you and why you’re not pursuing that.”

“You’ll have to get me pretty drunk for that.” he said with a small smile. 

“I’m so over studying. Man, the sooner finals are here and done with the better. Although it’ll suck to go home for the summer,” He paused, grabbing his hoodie. “Where we going first, bro?”

“Seriously, it’s really killing my vibe. I think I might stay for some of the summer. Long Island is cool and all but I might take a few summer classes. Who knows, maybe I’ll get my shit together this summer.” he said with a laugh.” Oh drinks.”

     CAL SHOOK her head, the messy curls bouncing with her movements as she collected her own things. “ ━ you don’t have to, it’s not something that interests me.” she smiled. “i’m good with burgers, like twenty four, seven.”

Aaron let out a laugh. “You sound pretty low maintenance. Not that it’s a bad thing, just a little surprised. That’s all.” he laughed. “Perfect, sounds like we’re made for each other because a diet that’s solely made up of burgers is the only diet I want.”

“Perfect.” Nakaya was quick to follow Aaron out of the room, wanting nothing more than a good high and a quesadilla. “Oh please, my weed’s so loud it could get me a noise complaint. Don’t ever doubt my tree.”

Aaron lead them out of the building and towards the dorms. “Wow, I can’t wait.” he said, eagerly. “I hope your weed is as good as it sounds or else I’m going to be very upset.”

“Yep.”

“I mean, like - yeah...In the moment I am. But with my overall life and where it’s going...I guess not.”

“Shit, thanks. That’s really all I have to say. I try, you know?”
