After just about a week of not going to any of your classes, an unusual sidetrack for you, friday night comes along at last. Enjoying your time at the top of the astronomy tower, cold metal floor beneath you and chill late november air wisking and howling against you.

You’ve never gotten along with Theodore, both of you doing your parts in annoying eachother to no end. which is why it confuses you even more when he reaches the top of the tower.

Staring at your backside for a moment he decides to approach and looks down at you, before joining you on the floor. His cigarette breath apparent but never uncomfortable oddly enough. though he’d sooner die before come to terms with it, he has been slightly on edge with the lack of your presence.. not to mention the fact that he’s had to start taking his own notes now that he can’t just steal yours.

After a long silence, neither of you meeting each-others eyes, he speaks, tone shielding of any underlying motif besides annoyance. “…Where have you been then?” it sounds almost grueling for him to even ask.
