September 17th
Nighttime - 11pm
Ethan Bonner sighed wearily from his corner hideaway in the back of the library. It was late, much later than he normally inhabited this place, and Danny was probably at home needing to go out. It did not matter though since he was stuck here working on a 25 page paper for his Advanced Natural Resources and Their Creations class. It was a dumb class he did not enjoy in the least, but a necessary one for his degree.
Most people came to the library to find silence from the rest of the campus. Hastings was pretty hopping at the slowest of times and there were always four or five different things going on. It was one of the things that Ethan loved about this college, you were never bored and there was never a time with nothing to do. Even on the administration mandated "dead days" set aside to study for finals there were parties and activites for student to enjoy. The thing about the library, for Ethan at least, was that it was still. He already lived in a world of almost total silence, it was the movement and colors and flurry that always distracted him from his work. He did not need a place of silence, but one with a lack of motion. The library offered that. People who came in here tended to causally wander aisles or sit at tables for long expanses of time. Ethan could come in, find his corner, and lose three or four hours easily.
It was a rare occasion when something would catch his attention enough to make him put the book or paper he was studying down and change the focal point of his attention. Tonight happened on one of those rare occasion. As Ethan was shifting positions to reach for his notebook and move his laptop's placement on the small table before him when he saw brightly colored movement, a determined movement that seemed significantly out of place. After cocking his head and scrutinizing for a moment Ethan realized why this movement caught his eye. It was a pretty girl with long brown hair and a completely coordinated outfit, a girl labeled as Arianna Porter.
