Ali tapped her pencil against her head, thoughts drifting from anthropology, back to Serenity. She closed her eyes and smiled

(Yeah, but it's cool.)

Serenity, meanwhile, was in Photography, taking photos of stuff that Ali would appreciate. Incidentally, it's also stuff that she herself appreciated, so it wasn't too difficult. Her thoughts were constantly going back to Ali, and more than once someone asked her "Are you okay? You look kinda distant." Each time that happened, she jumped, startled, then said "Yeah, I'm fine."

Ali sighs, smiling to herself as she draws doodles on the paper. Of coffee and tea, of a beach and ocean, of the elegant figure of someone she knew… the professor clears his throat. “Aleecia, could you please get your head out of the clouds and explain to us the beginnings of human civilization?” Ali turned red, putting pencils over her drawings, hoping no one would see. “O-of course. Starting with the thawing of the ice age…”

As soon as Photography ends, Serenity is already out the door, her stuff having been put away well before the end of class. She smiles, waiting in the Sciences hallway for Ali.

Ali quickly grabs her textbooks, shoving them in her bag and closing her laptop. She excitedly hurries out the door to see Serenity waiting, and runs toward her, smiling eagerly

Serenity smiles at Ali as well.

"Hey! How'd it go?" she asks, wrapping Ali in a hug and kissing her.

Ali grins, draping her arms across Serenity’s shoulders. “It was good! I managed to not fall asleep this time.” She smiles, gazing into Serenity’s eyes. “What about you? Take any cool pictures?”

Serenity's eyes light up. "Yes, I did!"

She shows Ali the film, slowly shuffling through each photo.

Ali stares at them, occasionally running her fingers gently down a photo. “These are… beautiful.” He smiles up at Serenity.

"Thank you!" she laughs. "I knew you'd like them."

Ali grins. “I guess I could show you my notes on the first human settlements, but I don’t know if you’d be interested in that.* she laces her hands in Serenity’s, staring down the hall as she leans on her shoulder. “So, when’s your next class?”

"Actually, show me!" Serenity says, grinning.

Ali blushes, remembering the drawings on her notes. She slowly takes them out of her bag, shrugging. “See, boring!”

Serenity examines them, and then sees the doodles. "Damn, these are pretty good!"

Ali blushes, smiling. “Really?” She laughs. “Maybe I should take art”

"Maybe! It would possibly give us more time together." Serenity says. "Oh shit- we need to run! We'll be late to class!"

She gives Ali another quick kiss then runs off to ceramics.

Ali grins, waving goodbye. Her next class wasn’t for a few hours, so she decided to take a walk around the grounds. Across the street was a small flower shop, and Ali smiles, getting an idea

Ceramics was a pretty fun class. They started making vases immediately, and they got them glazed and fired that class period as well. By the end of it, Serenity was smiling, carrying it back to her dorms to paint it for Ali. I've got a couple hours, so I can start it at least!

Ali picks out a few flowers she thinks Serenity would like, and buys a fleece blanket. She heads toward her favorite restaurant, picking out things she thinks Serenity would like. She laughs, everything is for Serenity! she thinks to herself, smiling as she heads toward the garden near their dorms

Serenity carefully chose her color scheme and started painting, blending the paints where she needed a color she didn't have. It would have taken 3 hours, if she hadn't cheated slightly and used more paints than she actually needed to put a picture of the beach where they went the day before on the vase.
