Can I Sit Here? (Cat)

[Eddie Smith]

There were a few things Eddie prided himself over. His ability to hit a bong, his kill/death ration on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and his grades. Surprising isn't it? But it was true, Eddie was a smart guy. Though he wouldn't necessarily go around announcing to people that he cared about his grades, but he did. To Eddie anything lower than an 90% was not tolerated, and he refused to allow his marks fall any lower than that.

It was mid afternoon when Eddie entered the library, this place was like his second home. If he wasn't in his dorm playing video games, he was usually in here studying and doing homework to keep his grades up.

Making his way to the back, Eddie knew this place like the back of his hand, he was now heading towards the farthest table from the entrance for two reasons. One so if anyone came in, they would not be able to see him right away, and two there were no distractions back there. Just row after row of books, nothing to take Eddie's attention away from his task at hand.

The boy had an essay due. One he should have started over the weekend but didn't because it was double XP weekend on Call of Duty and he spent the whole weekend playing instead. Finally reaching the back table Eddie noticed the tiny blonde sitting at his table. 'Great,' he thought to himself as he looked around for the next closest table. It appeared that all the tables were either being used by groups or a single person taking up the whole table. Either way, there was no where for Eddie to sit comfortably unless of course the tiny blonde was willing to share.

"Hey..." Eddie spoke softly, remembering his inside voice. "Do you mind if I sit here?" He asked pointing at one of the three empty seats at the table.

[Catherine Novella]

For Cat it was a prideful thing to study and get good grades.She had to be the best. She had to get good grades. She had to keep herself on the high honors list. There was no way in the world she would ever fail a class. it just wasn't right. Nor was it probable. Her fail a class? It really was laughable.

She did have a few tests though coming up. She needed to study if she was going to get the grade she wanted. She knew she was going to get that grade. That was the reason she was here, studying. She had a pile of books, ones that she had every intention of reading in front of her.

She had picked the farthest table from the front because it had the less distractions. Anyone who had been coming to the library, knew Cat worked there, and thus would come up to ask questions. The farthest table from the back let her not be bothered when she was studying.

The test was quite a big one but with all of her studying she was sure she would pass it. It was quite busy int he library today so she was glad she had gotten her table when she had. Cat guessed it was time to start. Cracking open one of the books she began her study session, starting at the very beginning, on page one. That was always the very best place to start. At the beginning.

She was interrupted a bit into her session when she heard a voice talking to her. She didn't know who it was but it seemed he wanted to sit by her. Cat shrugged and nodded. "I do not mind, there is certainly room." Cat gave a small smile before opening up her book again. "I will not be a bother."
