Lacey sat the second row from the front, roughly in the middle of the curve of bench desks and chairs. Her red hair was bound back into a no-nonsense ponytail. Her laptop is in front of her, and her fingers to the keys. The muted tone of the clicks as she types something that doesn't travel. As she listens to the Professor for Photography drone on about how one chooses the right lens for the right shot at dusk.
Those hands lift and she undoes that tail, fingers running through hair that as she does it gains hints of curls which give body to it. It splashes about her shoulders over the blue shirt she wears, the jacket beside her on the arm of the chair. For some reason, he kept the room hotter than what was needed during the colder months. Not that some didn't appreciate it. But it did mean, mid-way through his lectures more than half the girls were stripping off their jackets, and folding it to the arm there. Dropping them beside so they littered the gaps in between.
Unaware that someone was watching her from a few rows back. She pulled at her hair lightly, gathering it back up and using the band to secure it again. This time it looks more like a messy bun. Loose tendrils frame her naturally pale-skinned face, while there's a scrunch of her nose cutely almost as she puts her hands together and cracks a knuckle or two. Then back to typing away. It wasn't that this elective was easy, or boring. But she'd done enough amateur photography to have a basic understanding.
A gruelling twenty minutes later and it was over. A few of her sorority girls were attending this class too. The instant he told them they could go. Those were up and gathering stuff fast. Lacey took her time. Finally shutting the lid on the laptop and stowing it in the satchel made for it. Something cute in purple, her favourite colour. "Hey, Lace!" The shortened name cut through the air of her fog of packing up. "You are coming, right? To Alpha Omega's bash tonight? It's Halloween. You -have- to. You missed the Spring fling, The Easter mixer..." Lacey was certain if she didn't reply she'd keep hearing those .. cutesy names someone thought up for these events. "Sure." She found herself saying. "..the Saint Patrick's da---- oh! You'll come? Bout time you did. As a Phi Kappa, you really need to do some socialising with us! It's fun!" Each one of the girls floating about that desk of Lacey's was tall, blonde or brunette, wore her hair up in some way, flawless completions and curves most men would weep about.
Lacey, of course, wasn't a slouch in any department of the looks category! No, she jogged every afternoon and ran in the morning. Did good stretching beforehand, and light weights on the weekend. She'd heard enough from her Mother about, keeping herself fit, while she went off to college. But she was perhaps the only redhead in the whole sorority. Why? She'd never quite worked it out. Excepting the fact her Mother had been in this one, and 'Queen' of it too. Social Queen, that was.
"Do you have a--" Lacey never even got to finish the sentence before her eyes were looking at the flyer thrust into her hands. "See you at 6. When the sun's almost gone." Then those girls were departing, and Lacey shook her head. Tucking that flyer into her pocket even as she sought to sling the satchel over a shoulder. Then lifting up her backpack and slinging it over her other shoulder. She was almost out of the lecture hall when she was sure someone was following her. A glance behind her just had her seeing someone she semi-knew by sight. One of the guys.
She didn't know his name but she'd always thought he had a nice smile. He'd also silently helped her once get some spyware off her laptop. Not that she couldn't have done it, but she might not have done it quite that fast. "Oh, hey, it's you. Thanks, again." She didn't realise he was also in Alpha Omega and that she'd likely see him at the bash tonight!
But given she did hear her semi-bestie calling out to her, otherwise known as her current roommate in the sorority house. Carlie danced to her own tune, frequently that was normally all over Lacey's things. On her bed. It perhaps wasn't a match made in heaven between the two. But the girls had worked out a truce of sorts. "So, Lace, borrow your black mini?" Lacey didn't even want to know why she needed it. Her's that is. She knew Carlie had five. Four? Some ungodly amount of short skirts, in all colours. "Sure, if I can raid yours for a shirt?" Lacey felt a little daring. Halloween. She really should make an effect not to be her usual self. Carlie watched her a moment and finally nodded. "Kay. Sure. Catch you there later."
