Terrence suppressed a laugh and looked down at his book, trying to focus. "Well, you're not wrong," he admitted. "I wish the actual teacher was here. He keeps things interesting."

"Yep. At least I could stay awake for a few minutes when he was here," Erikos said, pulling out his phone as he hid it beneath the desk. He was bored, and had nothing to do but talk to people in this class

"I wonder where he went," Terrence said, absently doodling in his notebook.

River walked around campus trying to find the library

(I’m just going to throw Lucy into that class with them)

Lucy finally made it to her next class, and she slid into a seat. She dropped her bag onto the floor with a soft thud, rolling her shoulders back afterwards. There were a few other people already in the room, but not the whole class. At least she wasn’t late. Her slender fingers reached up to fidget with a nicely cut, small green and purple stone that was attached to a thin chain around her neck. Anyolite- helps during the grieving process and provides mental comfort. Some might call it fake, but after the loss of her child, she took up mental crystal healing. As someone who was studying psychology, she probably shouldn’t believe in those hopeful methods, but it seemed to really help her.

Erikos continued to tap away at his phone, only glancing up to see Lucy enter. He gave a quiet whistle, followed by a small chuckle. “Damn, this class has all the pretty people. And you’re digging the rock thing, too,” he said, pointing at Lucy’s necklace before gesturing with one of his bracelets. It had a small kyanite crystal tied onto it and was obviously handmade

Lucy shot the whistling man a sharp, obviously annoyed look. Things like that tended to get on her nerves these days. She had been one to swoon for flirtatious actions or words, but after what happened with her very flirtatious partner, she began to hate actions such as that. She knew she shouldn’t hate that because of one persons terrible actions, but it was difficult to help herself. Though, her expressions softened when she noticed the small stone on the man’s bracelet. “You’re into meditation?” She asked with an arched brow, her tone almost forcefully polite.

"Does being stoned count as meditation?" Erikos chuckled, shaking the bracelet again as he laughed. "Get it, stoned?" he asked, giggling a little to himself at the pun. He was still relatively high, and he tended to be pretty giggly when he was

(Aw okay!)

That got a slight laugh out of Lucy. She didn’t encourage smoking of any kind, but she wouldn’t judge people for what they liked. “I guess if you’re sitting still and not speaking, then it should count.”

"Well I'm not that high at the moment, I get that high and I pass out after eating myself out of house and home," Erikos chuckled. "But, since we're obviously stone buddies, I must have your name," he said theatrically, holding his hand out to shake. "I am the great and illustrious Erikos," he laughed

River sighed and went into a random class to listen in to the lecture. she sat beside a girl who had a slight smile on her face. She decided to call Avery while she waited for class to start. "Hello Martha, is Avery there?" she asked the babysitter. once Avery had the phone "Hey baby girl, how are you?" she talked for a bit until the professor came into the class "Sorry peanut, i have to go. I'll see you soon!" she said and closed the phone

Lucy gave a more genuine and friendly smile this time as she took Erikos’s hand, shaking it for a moment. “I’m Lucy, it’s good to meet you. That’s an interesting name,” she commented, letting go of his hand.

"Yep. Mum said it was some sort of spirit thing, thought if she gave me a weird name it'd keep everyone from kicking my ass in prison," Erikos chuckled, letting his hand fall back to his lap. "My dad thought she was crazy at first, but apparently being named something that makes you sound vaguely like a Satanist does keep people from kicking your ass."

“You were in prison?” Lucy asked, though she regretted asking afterwards. It most likely wasn’t any of her buisness what happened to Erikos before they had met.

"In and out, yeah. Only for petty shit I got framed for though, I was only legit in jail a few times," Erikos assured her. "Kinda funny, really. Mom was a mob boss, dad was a cop. If that ain't the bitch of irony, I don't know what is," he laughed

Lucy laughed a bit again, her shoulder relaxing as she leaned back in her seat. “Have you gone for smoking weed? I’m pretty sure that’s illegal in most places,” she hummed, but frowned at herself. “That’s a bit personal, you don’t have to answer that,” she continued quickly.

(nope)
"Nah, they busted me for selling it before it became illegal, but my dad busted me out. I'm all over that shit for medical, and I don't have to do anything like that for cash anymore thanks to my rich buddy," Erikos said, resting his head in the palm of one hand

“You got lucky with that,” Lucy pointed out with a soft smile and nod of her head. It had nothing to do with what they were talking about, but she needed to bring up the itching thought. “On an unrelated note, do you know where some of the teachers are? A good handful haven’t shown up recently.”

"Nope. Pretty sure they all got kidnapped or something," Erikos said with a shrug. "Don't really care, anyways. I only liked one of the teachers that disappeared because he was lowkey hot, but otherwise I'm cool with it. Bunch of my classes keep getting canceled, and that's fine by me."

“Kidnapped? I didn’t like some of them either, but don’t you think we should find out what happened? What if they actually did get kidnapped?” Lucy asked, eyes widening behind her glasses.

Erikos shrugged. "Eh, dunno. I'd rather not looking for people again. That was my mom's favorite gig to put on me, other than making me deal on the streets."

Lucy’s expression quickly changed into a sad one. “Your own mother did that to you? Oh god, that’s terrible!” She exclaimed, lowering her tone so she wouldn’t sound as loud.
