Entry tags: | eva, jasper |
Week One: Wednesday
When: Just a little before eight
Where: Commons room
Who: Jasper and Eva
Jasper wasn't all together certain why it was Eva wanted to meet up with him. He'd never studied with her before and he was certain there were many others that wouldn't mind helping her study that were likely more entertaining then he was. Studying wasn't typically about entertainment really but...it didn't sound like she really wanted to study either. Still even slightly confused on the why Jasper had agreed to meet with Eva today.
The day for him had been fairly normal. He went to his classes, listening vaguely as he read ahead in chapters and finished up future homework assignments. During his breaks he made his way to the library, helping them in sorting through the mess that he knew a certain little demon had helped to cause. Lucky for them that Jasper knew the library so well and could quickly sort through the piles of books without any real direction or explanation needed. From the sounds of it the mess could have been far worse...which he was glad it hadn't been. He knew the library staff went through a lot of work to keep things organized and the head librarian...well she didn’t like anything out of place so this mess had to be getting to her.
After his last class he'd briefly stopped into the cafeteria to grab and apple or two and spent the next few hours sitting outside reading. The weather was finally starting to lighten up a bit and Jasper was quick to take advantage of the fact that it wasn't raining today. Not that that meant everything was dried out, far from it. it was going to take a lot more clear days for that to happen. But Jasper didn't mind the still slightly cool air. He just found a bench around the outskirts of the school and made himself at home for awhile.
In fact he was so immersed in the book and comfortable where he was that he nearly lost track of time. The sun had set yes but that happened some time before eight. All he did was pull out a flashlight and continue to read. Somehow he managed to catch sight of the time on his watch before eight rolled around. Normally Jasper was rather punctual and never missed appointments but every now and again even he could sort of get lost in whatever it was that had his attention at the moment.
Books were shoved into his bag and quickly he rushed back towards the school, barely having enough time to make it to his room to grab new books and switch out his hoodie for a dryer one. While he was there he had looked around the commons room and halls for Micah but he wasn’t there, which really was no surprise. Micah always tended to be busy at night, never really showing up at the room till the later hours when he finally crashed for the night. But by habit Jasper left him a note like he always tended to, not that it was ever really that difficult to guess where Jasper would be or how to find him.
With his heavy book bag in hand Jasper left Zephyr house and made his way through the halls towards the commons room near House Aquatic. He was all too tempted to dart out for a cigarette before showing but with a glance to his watch he dismissed that idea and just went straight there. Really he wasn’t even late, he arrived early in fact. But Jasper hated to be late…he always thought it was rude to the other person even if he never minded if others were late in meeting with him.
The room was empty when he arrived, biting his lip slightly Jasper placed his bag on the floor by a chair and took a seat. Briefly eyes glanced to his watch again and idly, though he didn’t even realize it, a cigarette that had been tucked behind his ear was now being rolled between his fingers while he waited.
