Too far removed

As I wait for mock trial to start I sit in the campus student center and people watch. Across the room some are studying. On the couch to my left a couple sits and looks at info/pics on a laptop. The guy has his arms across the back of the couch. He is trying to look nonchalant as he sits there, left arm across and slightly behind the back of the couch and his right on the back of the couch, but not quite touching her. He’s almost giddy. She is seemingly absorbed by the computer content but smiles at him occassionally. His hopes are high. People walk through, some shuffle and some with purpose. Guys in a conference room must be playing a card game or something. Every few minutes I hear “oh!” And “ooo.”
And there’s the greek boys, walking through with their white shirt with tie and khali pants, ready for the eve. A quick game of pool must start them off right. Nothing like disrupting the quiet and seeking a little extra attention.

Guess I should at least pretend to accomplish something. *stretch-yawn*
