Ruth's alarm clock blared in the bathroom, as that was the only way to prevent her from setting it to snooze. With an elongated groan and a quick rub of her face, she found herself rolling over and untangling herself from the mess of sheets. Shooting to her feet, she made her way to the alarm clock, stubbing her toe on a cardboard box during the brief journey. She hissed, rearing her foot back to kick the case out of spite, before reading the [i]FRAGILE[/i] warning on top. Glaring at the inanimate object, she sidestepped it and continued onward. Her apartment was a minefield, full of cardboard boxes that contained her life. She had moved into the complex two short years ago and was leaving by the end of the day to claim a room in Arrowcaster's HQ. A quick glance around, and the realization struck her. She was really doing this. 

Shaking the mixed emotions out of her head, she completed her journey to the bathroom and finished her mission by shutting off the alarm clock and turning on the shower. Stripping down, she stepped in and began the process of getting ready for University. An hour and a half later, and she was in the campus' East lecture hall, stepping into her first class of the day with a bright grin.

[b]2:15 PM[/b]
As soon as her class was dismissed, Ruth shuffled out of the large, square lecture room and into the hallway. Her fellow students were hunched over on the plain white walls, wherever there was space, waiting it out until their next session began. They yawned frequently and checked the time on their phones even more often. She swore that, if she looked close enough, she could see their hair greying from the stress. Feelings of boredom struck her just from looking at them. Making the split-second decision not to end up like those unfortunate souls, Ruth made a sharp turn towards the library. While her next lecture began in about forty-five minutes, she'd much rather be late than end up like those poor overachievers. 

Upon arriving in the library, Ruth took in the subtle scent of worn books and the relaxing sounds of people hurriedly typing away at assignments that were due in the next half hour. In the silent rooms, people who wished for complete quietness were able to study in peace, but that was the opposite of what Ruth was seeking. Ignoring those spaces entirely, she strolled further into the surprisingly cozy building. She passed multiple familiar faces but wasn't interested in stopping for casual conversation. She wanted something new, something exciting. 

Something with fiery red hair and a look on his face that screamed pleasure and murderous intent. 

A delighted smile lit up Ruth's face for the first time in hours. She wasn't sure who this boy was, but he certainly looked interesting. With sharp features, and bright red eyes that sparkled like rubies beneath the yellow-ish lighting of the library. He had two books open before him, and he appeared to be writing a paper at the same time. He must've been under a time crunch. 

Approaching, she took up the seat to the left of him, settling in with casual confidence. She wanted to know why he looked like a hunter who had just entrapped a grand stag. Perhaps it was none of her business, but that's what made it so fun! Leaning forward, she offered up a dazzling smile, her teeth looking incredibly white due to the shade of lipstick she was wearing. 

[color=F93FE7]"Hiya, I'm Ruth!"[/color] She glanced down at his paper, trying to see what he was working on. [color=F93FE7]"Sorry to bug you, you seem...busy. I could be of service, though! I'm an English major, proofreading is my thing."[/color] Without waiting for him to reject or accept her offer, she continued. [color=F93FE7]"Anyways, I just had to see what you were thinking about. This assignment must be pretty serious if it had you all focused like that."[/color]
