Who: Mac and Vinnie
When: Friday Morning 8:00 am
Where: The track/edge of campus?
What: Hanging out
Mac had been up only for about a half hour. A bottle of water and an apple for breakfast, she'd taken Sid for a walk in the dark morning air that had begun to acquire a slight chill to it. A pair of vintage looking track shorts, something right out of the 70s, a gray hoodie, varsity socks pulled up to her knees and sneakers, Mac made her way out to the usual meeting spot for Track, her first of four today. After this she had dance, blades, and swimming. A full plate was an understatement when it came to Mac and the work load she'd taken on. A need to dive back into some sort of routine and sense of ritual and normalcy had been the source of her choices in taking on so much and fortunately, it'd kept her from feeling too out of place or lonely without much time to herself after her weekend job and homework were added onto the list of responsibilities.
Stretching along with the rest of the group, she glanced up, spotting an approaching shadow and caught sight of Vinnie. She'd already learned everyone's names though she barely spoke in class unless it was to answer questions or ask them. Feeling a little more confidant with him after their one time online exchange of comments, she'd offer a polite smile and quiet, "Hey." As he passed, returning to stretching out her legs before she straightened up and began stretching her arms and back for the run they were all about to take.
