And no one pays any attention in public health

Like most of the other classes in first year Public health seemed easy and you had a friend in this class so you decided you weren’t going to be paying much attention. The class got started and you sit with Andrew somewhere near the back.

“So, I know it’s been like, a day, but what do you know? Tell me everything.”

“It’s nice to see you too, Andrew.”

“Lovely to see you this morning Issy you look fantastic. Have you done something new with your hair? Really, it’s the same as normal? I’d have sworn it was new, it looks amazing. Now that we have small talk out of the way. Did you at least get her name?”

You make a real point of sighing and rolling your eyes before you crack a smile and stop holding out on the poor guy.

“Ugghhhhhh… well, for starters her name is Chelsea. As you know she’s the captain of the cheerleading team, she’s actually pretty chilled out and not preppy like I’d have expected from a cheer captain. She is definitely not a morning person, I saw her this morning and she was having a real struggle. Ummm I'm running out here, she can pull one of her legs behind her head while standing? She can drop into the splits pretty much on command.”

“Oi, you are drifting off stay on topic, useful stuff for me.”

“What? It’s what I saw when I went to watch them. Oh and she stays in the room across from me.”

“Okay, now that’s helpful, what you are saying is I should randomly show up to your room more and I’ll bump into her, right?”

“Tell you what ill invite you around more but if you get weird or annoying you will be banned. If you can control yourself, you will be fine.”

“Yes, yes, I promise, I’ll be my very charming self. Now let’s talk about you, who do you have your eyes on?”

“Funny you should ask after this class I am off to the courts to play her in a playoff for spots 2 and 3 on the team. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t like me but oh well, what’s the saying? Doesn’t matter what you think as long as it’s about me?”

“Yeah rubbing people up the wrong way that sounds like you, you have a real talent for it. Want me to come along and be your cheer squad?”

“Thanks but nah I don’t want anyone to see if I lose, but once she’s in love with me I’ll be sure to introduce her to you.”

You smile and spend the rest of class chatting, blatantly ignoring the poor lecturer up the front. The rest of the class passes quickly and before you know you have grabbed your stuff and are walking down to the courts.
