Let Me Introduce You

…Okay? That….kind of makes sense?

Where do you need clarity, princess?

Oh I know. So what’s someone as ‘different’ and smart as you majoring in then?

I didn't say I was different. Unique. I just said I'm not like most. Mechanical Engineering. You're the receptionist. You should know that.

That’s better than most new students here.

Yeah, well, I'm not most students.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning *giggles* Thank you. I would ask if you had any questions about the college but you seem like you’ve got it pretty much figured out.

I did my research.

You’re complaining about a pen?

Christ. You're touchy about your rinkydink feathery pen. [rolls her eyes and fills the form out quickly, giving the pen back] There.

Oh…

It's not that I don't like them, it's that I'm skeptical.

I’m not. I always liked American accents.

That's a thing you know. People wanting what they don't have and quite often can't have.

I like yours, it’s lovely.

You're kidding. Flattery gets you nowhere, kid.

I have an idea, but I’ve never been there. I’m from London.

And he pinpoints his accent. Nice.

Where are you from?

The states. The Bronx in New York, but you probably have no idea where that is.

How did you- oh my name. *chuckles*

Yeah, kind of famous in that area.

English Lit and Folklore. 

Let me guess, you study King Arthur.

Fine... So what you studying, Merlin?

If you don't want to talk to me, you can leave, I'm not stopping you.

I just… don’t like a lot of people. and by a lot- I mean about 90 percent. 

Ah so we have something in common. Go figure.
