Time To Eat!

Things return to what you would consider “normal”, or at least closer to your expectation of normal pretty quickly as the food arrives and it’s time to eat. While the conversation you just had lingers in your consciousness a little bit, you definitely feel a little bit more comfortable as the two of you discuss the food and the upcoming school year, your classes you want to take, and things of that nature.

It intrigued you how Emily managed to go from what you would describe as flirtatious towards you to just having a regular conversation like you were long time friends even though in reality you had just met a couple hours ago and you were far from in a relationship or best friends.

To be honest though, Emily was by default your best friend on campus, and obviously you hers. Not that there was any competition of the sort. You continue conversing with her about casual things almost as a way to distract yourself from how you see things have been progressing so far.

You’re not really *looking* for a girlfriend, far from it, actually. While Emily is definitely your type and seems like she’d be a good girlfriend to have and all those other things, your goals are still focused much more around school/academics and athletics. Talking about these things out loud to her definitely does make you feel a bit more comfortable around her though as you start to feel a connection with your mutual levels of openness and sharing. While there are definitely some clear differences between you two (such as her indecisiveness and you coming off on occasion as being very blunt) there are also some similarities that could lead to a good friendship for the next four years for you- regardless of whatever happens romantically.

After finishing your meals and just relaxing outside for a little while, you decide to check the time and realize it’s about 3:00. You have about 2 hours until you have to make it to the Class Dinner at the Main Hall. What would you like to do before you have to go?

Choices: A- Offer to head to the Athletics Facility Emily chooses. B- Ask her to follow you to the Basketball or Football Facilities. C- Suggest going to the Dining Hall early to find a good seat. D- Return to the Capital Room and socialize with others. E- You need a social break before dinner, head to the dorm for some quiet.
