"Oh hey," Cassie greeted Peter as he interrupted. He didn't even acknowledge her companion and her gaze flickered between them. She opened her mouth to introduce them (as best she could without knowing the chick's name) but the TA was talking and fathering her stuff and leaving. Probably Peter's interjection had seemed weird or rude or something but the situation could've been salvaged. Oh well, okay.She managed a wave and a nod of acknowledgement to the woman's promise, though she still doubted there was anything the woman could do to to make the biology class more her thing.
Cassie started gathering her own stuff when the woman walked off and then glanced Peter's way. "That was the TA from my biology class. Which is brutal, by the way. All of my classes are brutal. How's your stupid genius classes?" she asked and rose from the bench to lead the way to one of the campus dining halls. The food around here wasn't terrible and they had meal plans, so that was a plus.
