Herodotus had occupied Roxanne through the previous week, while the onslaught of summer break had released most students not oblivious to the lessons summer semester students were engaging in. Fairly quickly in her college career, she'd discovered the diversion and scholarship went well together. There was nothing so entertaining as the amusements that beckoned when she had something extremely pressing to do in the way of scholarship. If she had done all her work as soon as it was assigned, she would have been free to enjoy laying by the pool, nights at the club, or staying up late watching her animations. Yet straightaway, the chief charm of these simple amusements would have vanished, since there was nothing forbidden in them, save that they required time, and time was always at a premium in studies. That afternoon Roxanne had a paper on politics, three assignments for History of the Middle East, another for her theater class, and a extracurricular lecture on historical religious practices that should have been paramount. Instead she was pulling out of the lot of Little Tokyo, armed with enough sushi to feed a small village.
The people at Little Tokyo knew her by name. Well, if 'That-Girl-Who-Has-A-Problem-With-Crab-Meat' counted as a name. Either way it was indicative of a level of familiarity, although it was hard to forget a girl who'd once come wearing a ball gown, courtesy of a post Gone With the Wind production craving. Credit card in hand, she'd put in her usual order along with Cam's requests and topped it off by adding a few extra things to the list. Opportunistic as ever she saw reason to splurge since someone else was footing the bill. She'd never tried the B.C. roll before. And what better time than the present?
By the time she'd reached Cameron's door it was a full half an hour later than she'd said she was going to arrive. Probably because she'd made a side trip to a liquor store she knew wouldn't card her so she could buy a bottle of sake. Half because she thought it would be funny and half because she decided trying new sushi rolls should include sake. It was sound logic as far as she was concerned.
Juggling four bags in both arms, she knocked against the door with the heel of her foot. "Open up or I'm eating your Kamikaze roll."
