Tuesday, June 3, 2008 Who: Jason and Nathaniel Where: Student lounge When: afternoon What: Meeting new people.
Nate disliked rumours and even more so when they involved him, although indirectly. Maybe it wasn't true, that Frankie was hanging around two guys and being flirty with them. It hurt to think about and as such, he had a difficult time drinking his blood for breakfast and lunch. His stomach wouldn't settle, because he was too restless, and he went to the student lounge to do his normal lying on the sofa routine. This time, he brought a book, something vaguely interesting, like the biography of John Adams.
He read and once again, his eyes were unable to focus on the page. Each time someone entered the lounge, his gaze flickered upwards, as if he was waiting for someone. No one came who he knew - or at least he thought so. There was this one man who looked familiar, because he had been in his vampire classes and so he offered a nod of recognition. Talking to a classmate was better than not being able to concentrate on a book, most definitely.
"Hello," he said. "What's your name again? Apologies, I forget. I'm Nathaniel." It didn't matter what he called him, and it was somewhat nice to be more outgoing. Another friend wouldn't hurt and he needed someone who was out of Frankie's crowd. Distance was what he required now, as much as possible in this small school.
