Katalina Hargrave, Ben Calebs and Amy Snow
6:30 AM, Breakfast Hall
@Kirah @SheriffLlamaKatalina had already been up for the last half an hour, before heading to breakfast. She had showered and pulled her hair up into a loose bun. She was wearing her track suit over her swimsuit, since she had swimming first period. She set her duffle bag down at a table to hold it before going to get breakfast.
After retrieving food, she sat down at the table, waiting to see if Ben and Amy would show up. She made sure that Ben had a spot right next to her.
After a few minutes of eating alone, Amy joined her, smiling. “Morning, how’d roomie stuff go?”
“It went as best it can go… Ash still dislikes me. She says she sees me as ‘the competition’ which is strange to me. We don’t even do the same types of swimming,” Katalina said with a sigh, poking at the eggs a bit.
“Yeah but Ms. Reese always pits the two of you against each other.” Amy shrugged.
At that moment, Ben took a seat next to Katalina, interrupting her train of thought. While he wore his uniform, his hair was ruddy and it could be assumed that he’d just woken up. He set his tray down and took an enormous swig of his glass of orange juice, glancing briefly at the two. “Mornin’ ladies.” He said.
“Morning Ben.” Amy smiled.
“Good morning Ben. Did you sleep well?” Katalina asked, turning a bit in her seat to give him her attention. She would have slipped a hand over for him to hold but he was eating at the moment. She wouldn’t admit it at times, but she like the moments they had of closeness in public.
“Like a rock…” He said. “Actually I think my mattress is the rock… ridiculous.”
“That is how it is with these dorm mattresses… I swear, they get harder every year,” Katalina said, taking a sip of her own OJ.
Amy smirked, and hid herself behind a book.
“I envy Marie… she could literally sleep on a bed of nails.” Another swig of OJ from him.
“Eh, after a long day of swimming and classes, I’m usually out for the night. First night is usually the hardest… so you have music first yes? Looking forward to seeing Mrs. Wellington?” Katalina said, teasing a bit. She was aware a few boys might have had a crush on the older teacher, but not Ben.
He laughed lightly, and said, “I know a couple of people who are definitely looking forward to seeing her.” He noted. “Plus, I’ve already seen the one I’ve been looking forward to seeing.” He nudged Katalina with a stupid grin on his face.
Katalina blushed deeply at that and looked away a bit shyly.
“I’m glad to hear that... “ She muttered it slightly but he could still hear her.
“So… I’ll see you in… uh, oh shoot what do we have second today,” she said, pausing as she thought.
“Science, unfortunately…” He muttered.
“Ah… well, at least we’ll have it together… and you know I’ll help you where I can,” she said with a smile. At that moment she was tempted to give him a kiss on the cheek, but ultimately chickened out. She was still a bit shy when it came to things like that.
He released a second laugh, and smiled, the corners of his eye wrinkling. “I’d probably fail without you…” He muttered, and clasped her fingers between hers.
Katalina smiled, and gave his hand a small squeeze before getting up.
“I gotta go… I promised Ms. Reese I’d help set up the lanes… I’ll see you in Science,” she said, and picked up her tray. She gave him a quick wave before walking off as well as saying goodbye to Amy, still blushing redder than a rose. Katalina noticed Amy waved back and smile before heading to the pool.
