Melanie gets bored easily, and Kenny looks worth teasing.

Melanie was messing around on her phone, waiting for the lecture. She had mostly already studied up to this point, and her friends had been telling her to just skip a few lectures and hang with them instead, but she never went for it. She usually spent her time with them after lectures, but today, no one was going to be around. She considered catching up with Kyle or Dave or Roddy, but she was getting pretty bored of those muscleheads. All they ever did was make stupid jokes and stare down her cleavage. Assholes only ever had two things on their minds. She put her phone down with a heavy sigh and rested her head on the desk. When she glanced up, she saw the guy in front of her looking, and he quickly turned away.

She knew this guy. Kenny, wasn't it? She had sat around him a few times, but they had never really spoken. He always seemed kind of sweet, but totally shy. She wasn't the type to hang out with the nerds, she always seemed to scare them off. She smirked a little, and decided to pass the time by ripping up bits of her paper and chucking them at him. They bounced off Kenny's head, and when he turned around to say something, another one landed in his mouth. He coughed and spluttered, and Melanie couldn't help but laugh out loud, before covering her mouth as everyone turned to stare at her.

"W-what are you doing?" Kenny asked in annoyance. Melanie showed him a beautiful, carefree grin. "Messing with ya. I'm super bored." "Well, we probably shouldn't do that in the lecture..." Kenny nervously responded, which make Melanie snort in defiance. "Ahh, it's nothing we don't know. Smarty-pants like us don't need to worry do we?" She prepared another piece of paper to toss, before looking up and seeing Miss Banks staring straight at her. "Maybe you don't need to worry about the lecture, Melanie. But you do need to worry about me." She dropped her things and sat straight up. "Honestly, this isn't high school." Melanie nodded along obediently, but glanced down to see Kenny chuckling quietly to himself. She glared in annoyance. Oh, she was gonna make him pay for that.

As the lecture ended, Kenny walked out in his usual fashion and started to head home. What was more unusual was that he wasn't alone. Melanie had taken it upon herself to follow after him, and was chatting away to him while they walked. He wasn't really sure if she was actually talking to him or herself, but he didn't really see much of a chance to stop her.

"And Frankie is just, ugh, a total bore. He keeps going on about his gym routine and it's like, get some new material? You've tried impressing me with that shit before and it isn't working now. Oh man, Sarah dropped the SICKEST burn on him at the house party, but you really had to be there. And Roddy is such a dumbass. He keeps bragging about how he doesn't pay any attention in lectures and it's like, seriously? That's what you're bragging about? That you're wasting money on bullshit you don't give a shit about? How is that meant to be impressive? Oh good for you, some of us have shit we actually care about. I wanna go into research when I graduate. My parents were so shocked, you won't believe this, my dad thought I was gonna be a freaking secretary? Like, wow Dad, how very modern. Girls can do more than type shit and get their butts groped by sleezebag bosses. I dunno, it's just different times I guess, and...

This...doesn't seem to be ending any time soon. She seems to be heading off somewhere and is just assuming you'll follow. You could go with her, but you might be subjected to more gossip. You could also sneak off and go through town a different way.
