Veda walked into the coffee shop, her pink hair messy from the wind outside. She stepped behind the other girl in line, a bit of a spring in her step. She dug through her wallet, tapping her foot on the ground as she waited. She found it funny, almost, that the girl in front of her preferred black coffee like she did.
Other teens started coming in, bringing Rai's hopes up. She stashed away her math worksheet and smiled politely at the small girl.
"Could I have just straight black coffee please?" The girl said.
"Sure! What's your name?" Rai nodded, taking out a small cup and pouring in fresh black coffee. She tried to pick up her pace, as another girl stood in line waiting.
(sure, that's a good idea)
Eve received her coffee and looked around for an empty seat away from the window, knowing she'd get distracted quickly. Noticing Lloyd, she walked over there to sit with him and maybe ask for help on the History homework. She hadn't been able to find the answer to the last few problems yet.
Lloyd looked up when someone else walked towards his table. "Oh, hey Eve." He looked back down at the textbook, his eyes quickly scanning over the text.
When the girl was finished, Veda went to the counter. She smiled brightly and ordered her usual, a black coffee. She put the money onto the counter and waited for it to be made. In the mean time, she leaned against the counter and watched other people, not even trying to hide the fact she was doing so.
"Do you need something?" He looked up at Eve again, setting the open book down on the table.
New coffee had to be made, for the last cup had been poured. Rai took her time, since only one person was left in line. As she waited for the coffee, she noticed the girl had pink hair.
"Hey, your hair is super cute!" Rai said, cheerfully, hoping for a response.
Veda looked toward the girl who had just complimented her. “Really? Thanks!” She chirped, just as cheerfully.
Rai desperately attempted to continue the conversation, as the coffee was still brewing. Normally, she didn't approach the customers first, but this girl seemed friendly. "You know, you don't see a lot of people with that color. It's nice to see it once in awhile! Anyways, I'm Rai. You?"
“Yeah, it really helps me to stand out, I love it! And it’s nice to meet you, Rai, I’m Veda,” she said, smiling cheekily. She held her hand out for Rai to shake.
(What’s I miss)
(Idk, I think the person talking to my character left? So I'm not sure what to do now)
(I’m sorry, I meant puts on Hamilton WHAT’D I MISS?)
(wait for them i suppose)
(Casual convo in coffee shop, Lloyd's doing homework like the nerd he is)
(sorry, I didn't mean to leave for so long)
"Um, actually, yeah. Have you gotten to questions seven and eight on the history homework? I couldn't find those earlier." Eve responded to Lloyd, hoping she wasn't interrupting anything.
Rai took Veda's hand. She already ran out of conversation starters, like the introvert she was. Luckily, the coffee pot dinged.
"Enjoy your cup!" Rai grinned.
"Oh, yeah, I finished those a couple minutes ago. I can talk you through the answers if you'd like, I never really like to just give people answers, since then they still don't understand the concept." He smiled and moved his chair over so Eve could join him.
Veda took up her coffee cup and grinned. “Yeah, you too!” She winked jokingly and sipped the hot drink as she made her way out of the shop.
"That'd be great!" Eve smiled back and took the seat next to Lloyd's. "So, I read the chapter but I still don't understand most of it." she laughed.
"Okay, which part do you not understand?" Lloyd looked over his notes so he could find an answer if necessary.
Rai sighed as the shop reversed back to its undisturbed nature. A pair chatted over homework in one corner, and others simply sipped their drinks while exploring the internet. She checked her watch, wondering if break time was near.
Veda walked across the street, wheeling her white bike along side of her. She went into the park area and over to a bench. She leaned the bike up against it and sat down, stretching her legs out.
(I'm just coming up with a random historical event XD)
"Um, the question that said 'How was the Gutenberg's printing press influential to society at the time?' I looked everywhere in the text and all I found was how it was made. Do I need to just make inferences there?" Eve asked, genuinely confused about what they were supposed to be reading about right now.
"Well, I think the question was asking how you personally thought it affected the people of that time period. Like, how it would have made life easier for them, since they no longer had to write everything by hand. And the way Gutenberg designed it would have showed other people how to create newer, better versions of it that led to the typewriter, and then to computers today."
"Oh, okay. I see that now. Sorry Lloyd." Eve said, looking down to hide her embarrassed blush.
"Sorry about what?" Lloyd seemed genuinely confused. If someone else hadn't understood the question, he was always glad to help. On the account that he did understand, otherwise his insight would be useless.
"I must seem pretty stupid right now. I just needed to think the question through a little more." Eve laughed, knowing she also should have done the previous night's homework which might have helped her answer the question easier.
"No, I don't think you're stupid." He smiled softly. "Sometimes, things just have a… deeper meaning." He was silent for a moment, staring off into space before looking embarrassed. "Gah! I'm doing it again! Sorry, sometimes I get kind of weird and… philosophical I suppose. It's just a bad habit I've picked up.."
"It's not a bad habit Lloyd. It's just a habit. There are no good or bad habits." Eve stated, trying to make Lloyd feel better.
