[color=00a99d][b]"Oh, Garth!"[/b][/color] Lawan called out to her friend, some paces ahead of her. [color=00a99d][b]"You left your bag behind!"[/b][/color] She closed the gap between them and offered him the bag. 
[b]
"Well damn, you're right."[/b] He replied, taking the bag. [b]"Jeez, you're always so switched on. I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached."
[/b]

[color=00a99d][b]"Oh, well, organisational skills are something anyone can learn."[/b][/color]

[b]"Nah, you've got a knack for keeping it all together. You're also great at anything you put your mind to."[/b]

[color=00a99d][b]"Goodness..."[/b][/color] Lawan was starting to get a bit embarassed by her friend's praise.

[b]"It's just too bad you can't tell a joke to save your life."[/b]

Lawan gasped at that statement. [color=00a99d][b]"I can too!"[/b][/color] 

[b]"Oh yeah? Lay one on me."[/b] He sounded like he knew exactly what was coming. Clearing her throat, Lawan prepared herself to speak clearly.

[color=00a99d][b]"I'm close friends with 25 letters of the alphabet, but I don't know Y."[/b][/color] Garth's immediate eye-rolling spoke volumes as to what he thought of that.

[b]"If bad jokes could kill, you'd be a mass murderer by now."[/b]

[color=00a99d][b]"Well I think my jokes are funny..."[/b][/color] Lawan retorted dejectedly.

[b]"Uh-huh. Just try to remember that your humour doesn't suit everyone's pallet. Mental patients make up a pretty small percent of the student body, after all."[/b]

[color=00a99d][b]"...let's just get our information."[/b][/color] Garth's ribbing aside, Lawan had high hopes for this year. She'd being doing well so far, and she intended to do well as long as she was here. The roommate she would be assigned this year didn't matter much to her, as long as they weren't some kind of monster. Lawan had learned to be patient with people of all sorts, and she was sure that Garth was proof of that much. In any case, she and Garth carried on into the hall and prepared to find out their new arrangements.
