Perk, Tuesday morning

[chasingangela]

Angela is going to be in the library most of the day, as it's her turn to open.

This requires caffeine. Lots of caffeine. She gets a large black coffee, dumps some sugar in, and sits by the window, waiting for her brain to wake up enough to let her walk back to campus. Maybe she'll even get some muffins for the other aides.

Edward has done homework and thinking in general till his brain felt mushy. He feels it's time for a break, and enters the perk to get a latté and relax for a while.

Angela idly smiles at the pale boy she remembers from her poetry class last semester. "Edward, right? Hi."

Edward wasn't expecting to see someone he knows. He usually doesn't. So he blushes a bit, and says 'Hi'. He looks at the coffee (with a straw) he is holding, and at the chair next to Angela. "Mind if i eh, eh, sit here?" He asks, gesturing at the chair.

"No, no problem," Angela says, still a little sleepy. She curiously watches how Edward handles the coffee.

"Don't your hands make the paper cups kind of a problem?"

"My hands kind of make everything a problem" Ed looks sad. "I can handle the cups by eh, like, clutching them between my wrists." He looks relieved when he can put the coffee down on the table, and sits down. "So eh...how are you?"

[chasingangela]

"I burned my hand this weekend," Angela says, waving the bandages briefly. "Never realized how much I used it." Then she looks guilty. ""But that's kind of a different thing, isn't it?"

"I'm fine. Happy the snow monsters are gone. How are you?"

"Eh, i'm fine." Ed says, and smiles shyly. "I'm glad the snowmonsters are gone, too." He tilts his head, and seems to think for a while.

"Are you still taking poetry class?"

[chasingangela]

"No. I wish I could, but there was too much else I needed before I could graduate."

"What about you?"

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

"No, me neither. I chose other classes." Ed sips his coffee, staring out of the window. "Sooo..." He isn't sure what to say.

[chasingangela]

"So..." Angela agrees, looking for something else to say. He seems lonely. "Do you live on campus, or here in town?"

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

I live here in town, in an old house." Ed says, and waves with his 'hand' in the direction of where the house is. "I dislike the dorms. There's so much people. Do you live on campus?"

[chasingangela]

"Yeah. With the ... people," Angela says, attempting a joke. "I like it. IU have my own room, so people aren't all over me all the time."

Ed smiles. "An own room would be better, i guess. Better then sharing. I think i wouldn't handle that very well..." he blushes a bit, and stares at the table.

[chasingangela]

"Yeah, roommates are hard..." she says vaguely, then glances at her watch. "I kind of need to get to work, I think ... are you going to campus?"

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

"I, well, no, i...i was not really going anywhere. I think i'll go home in a minute, or so" Ed mumbles, not really sure what to say. "I could...walk you there, if you wanna?"

[chasingangela]

"Um ... that's okay," Angela says, dreading the idea of another ten minutes of trying to make conversation with Edward. "It's not that far. But thank you?"

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome" Ed smiles. He ponders the possibilities of running for the door, because he's really out of things to say now, but decides it would look odd. "Eh, okay. I'll...see you around, then?"

[chasingangela]

"Definitely," Angela says, picking up her bag of muffins and headiing for the door. "Bye, Edward."

"Bye Angela" Edward waves, finishes his coffee, and goes home.
