Jacqui turned her head over her shoulder as a laugh left her lips, waving goodbye at the student she had been walking with as they went to cut a different path, Jacqui going to step into the elevator - unaccompanied by anyone except for a student bending down to tie their shoe - so they could head downstairs and go back to their dorm. They were already in the elevator when they turned back around, just as the other student stood up. Jacqui’s eyes met Jesse’s, of all people, their lips parting as they drew in a sharp inhale, reaching behind them to try to stop the doors from closing, though they had no luck. 

She turned around without acknowledging her....her what? It’s not even like he was an ex. He was just a fucker who took her virginity and then blocked her. Their hand found the door open button, pressing it several times, though as the elevator started moving it was clear it wasn’t going to work, Jacqui instead forcefully hitting the next floor. Apparently, it may have caused some sort of...overload, the elevator stalling, dropping - accompanied by a yelp from Jacqui - and stalling again, the doors remaining completely, frustratingly, impossibly closed. They just stared at them, blinking a few times, sure this had to be some sick joke. 

Court had - along with everyone else it seemed - witnessed Jesse’s speech at casino night. And if he had seen the male at any point later that night, he would’ve made sure hew as okay, instantly able to tell that he...was having a night. But a couple things happened and he didn’t get a chance to find him and now a few days had passed...nut they were doing pre-season conditioning for lacrosse, and most of the other guy’s had headed out already, giving Coco the perfect opportunity to check in on his captain. “Hey buddy,” Court said as he approached Jesse, clapping his hand on his shoulder. “How you doin’?” he asked, his tone purposefully bright, mayhap acting a bit too casual. 

Sassa had been working out - yes, she had already gone for a run and had tennis practice, but Milo’s comments that day had gotten under her skin. So she was at the gym. Working out. Her airpods were in, music up all the way as she went through her exercises, about two thirds of the way through when the lights went out. Bizarre. She didn’t need light, not really - it was free weights and exercise machines. It’s not like they needed power, either. She was sure that by the time she was finished, the lights would be back on, anyways. But apparently....that was wrong. She finished her workout, no sign of the lights turning back on, gathering her things up with a sigh so she could make her way back to her dorm.
