"Your kind of book" Clair said smiling at him softly. "I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go for a walk? I feel like being out in the sun after being cooped up in my room."

She knew he woudn't change his pants with her in the room he was a gentlmen with with her. And her parents would love that about him even more. "Want me to wait out in the hall till you put new pants on?"


Brian grinned, leaning over to kiss her softly before bouncing back up. He was often overly energetic after reading for a long period, becoming suddenly conscious of his extended sedentary posture. He could feel himself fairly thrumming with energy and realized that a walk would at least keep him from bouncing of the walls of his room. Plus, the company would be great.

"A walk sounds great. I could use some exercise myself." He smiled as he nodded to her query about stepping outside. "Yeah, thanks." He knew Claire had been raised in a certain kind of household. While personal modesty wasn't a big thing for him, he could appreciate that others didn't feel comfortable being so open with their bodies.


~Rachel~

After Rachel got home from her last class, she climbed upstairs. But instead of going to ehr room, she went down to David's. She ahdn't seen him much recently with his preparing for his tests and everything, and she missed him.

She knew he wouldn't mind, so she opened his door quietly and walked into his room.

She grinned slightly when she saw him curled up in his bed, asleep. She didn't want to wake him, he probably needed the rest, but she did miss him, so she gently climbed into bed with him, hoping he wouldn't mind.


Vivian squeaked between the doors of the subway just as they were sliding closed. They rumbled shut a bare inch after her bookbag cleared them and she paused momentarily to catch her breath. She'd stayed after Professor Russell's class to get some clarification on the theory of cultural exchange they'd been discussing the past two classes. It was simple enough on it's face - continents with a latitudinal spread made it easier for different peoples to exchanged cultures and ideas because they could grow the same foods and knew the same animals. What was less clear to her was why Native American tribes, such as the Iroquois and Walla Walla, didn't seem to have traded much despite similar climates and considerably *less* distance than the European and Chinese cultures.

Unfortunately, the *brief* consultation with Professor Russell had run a good bit longer than she'd anticipated and she'd had to run the two blocks to the subway station to catch her train. Now safely aboard, she could relax and steady her breathing. She sighed inwardly as she noted that all the seats were taken and reluctantly propped herself up against one of the vertical dividers.

Jane Leann sat on her bed up in her room her mind raceing. She didnt know if she would fit in here her clothes that she had unpacked where piled on the bed. Next to the clothes was a medical dictonary. She realy should go and meet the others here, but she hadnt worked up enough motivation to do so.
