[i]Inside the Cafeteria. Right outside the Cafeteria[/i]
Gracie found herself sitting down in the middle of the cafeteria, she didn’t have class until 8:00. However, she was an early bird..or doe, that enjoyed the quiet mornings. It was a time for her to listen to her podcasts, do her jog, and then relax in the cafeteria and observe the other mammals straggling in Loosening her grey scarf from her speckled neck, she checked her phone for any updates on the world or her close circle, especially from her track team. 

0 Notifications. 

The doe frowned slightly, her friends weren’t morning mammals like herself, and other than the downpour of snow there were no news that was worth investigating, other than a headlines that read “Local Sloth beats world record of longest belch.” “Here’s what your Horoscope says this week!” “Fleas got you down? Don’t be embarrassed! Try Flee Flea! Get your free Flee Flea today!”  

She found herself then monotonously scrolling through her social media feed. She stopped at Clyde, the leopard. He was the star of the track and field team. Lean body, a serious spotted face. He was a flawless runner. She had looked up to him since her first year, hoping to someday beat his record. They hadn’t spoke to each other much, he didn’t really socialize with the other runners outside of the Track and Field realm. 

Letting out a soft yawn, she covered her mouth lest to be seen as rude or unseemly, she then slurped the last bit of green smoothie she had, moving her tongue across her teeth to dispatch any embarrassing leftovers. She sat up and stretched and did a neck roll. She looked at the snow outside the cafeteria and grinned.

Outside she was again met with the crisp winter air which didn’t seem to bother her. She found a spot by a large tree that’d be perfect to build a Snowdeer, rubbing her hands together she started to build the first mound of snow, humming joyfully to herself.
