Don't Mind (Louis)

[Cera Lamprey]

Cera and Louis had been friends since their Hammel days, and while they had gone off to different colleges, the fact that they both remained in Vermont made keeping in touch somewhat easier than if one or both of them had gone out of state. 

Of course, the most appealing part of Louis's friendship at this moment in time was the fact that he was completely and utterly unrelated to her ridiculous band mates beyond the fact that they had all attended Hammel together. It was nice to hang out with someone and not have to discuss punctuality and responsibility, particularly since she didn't even like being The Responsible One. 

She just wanted to be a fun college girl, not mother a bunch of slackers. 

And so when Louis had agreed to meet with her at Atmosphere she was delighted. 

Because it was summer in Vermont she had worn a tank top with watermelon print and shorts the same color pink as the watermelon. She'd pulled her hair into a messy bun, pinning it with the hair sticks Sam had bought her on their first real official date; it was much too hot to keep her hair down. 

The DJ was playing Kent Jones, and Cera hummed along as she scoured the club for any sign of her friend.

Louis looked around nervously as he entered the club, searching for a specific growing/shrinking friend of his. He had just arrived from a shower back at his place and was wearing a forest green shirt and blue jeans. He used his height advantage to scan around for Cera’s distinct hair color through the sea of blond, red, black and brown hair.

Louis had had some good times with the pink haired woman when the two of them attended Hammel together a few years ago. She had often been cheerful and not very prone to mood swings, both plus in his book, and they both had trouble with school, leaving them to often attend the same tutoring sessions.

He had tried to keep in touch with Cera as much as someone could when you suddenly end up at different schools. After hearing about her band’s recent troubles Louis had decided to see if she had wanted to hangout with him, and possibly cheer her up a little. After agreeing they had both settled on meeting down at Atmosphere, knowing that neither of them could get into a bar with breaking a few laws.

Louis continued to look around for another minute or two as he got used to the music that was playing, finally finding a glimpse of Cera near the snack table. He headed toward her, and when he thought he was close to call out without drawing everyone in the building’s attention he said, “Hey Cera, long time no see.”
