People passed by while she and Thomas sat outside the front of the school. Someone that passed said hello to her and Carol glanced to see who it was. It took her a second to connect the dots. But finally it clicked that it was one of her teammates from when she played soccer. What was his name again? The boy seemed to be in a bit of a rush but the name finally came to her. [color=khaki]"Good to see you, Oliver."[/color] And just like that he was gone. Sighing a bit she supposed that was to be expected. In the last couple years she didn't really talk much to the team. She should probably change that.

Time to get inside though and Thomas began to wheel her toward the school. He made a goofy comment in reply to her earlier question. Shaking her head Carol listened as he was about to explain something before suddenly yelling out "Fire!" Looking about it didn't take long to notice the flames licking out of the trashcan. At least it wasn't inside, that would be bad news. Not really thinking about what to do she was surprised to see someone else run up an attempt to smother the fire. The attempt was unsuccessful and to some extent made things worse. Yelling out she tried to stop people to doing anything else dangerous. [color=khaki]"leave it alone. Let it burn itself out!"[/color] There couldn't be that much stuff in there from this morning. All the trash should be emptied at the end of the day.

With all the excitement Carol was feeling the fatigue from last night. And actually right now she was feeling rather warm. She wasn't close enough to the small trash fire for that to be a factor. Must have been sleep deprivation or something. The body does weird things when not getting a good night's sleep. Drinking some water would probably do her good. [color=khaki]"The fire will go out. It doesn't have anywhere to go. Let's get to the cafe before class starts. I need to grab a bottled water."[/color] She said turning her head back toward Thomas.
