Science sucks.

Oh, God. Why did those professors have to assign so much homework? All at once, no less. Reading assignments on top of written reactions to said reading on top of research papers... it just wasn't human. In fact, Connor might go so far as to say it was absolutely amoral. He was really beginning to hate college, and the long hours spent at the

I'd basically just come to the library to wander around and kill time. Not like sitting in the hotel room while Buffy's off to see Angel again would really be any more fun than here. And hey, maybe I'll stumble across something interesting, have a slim chance of talking to people.

Much better than spending the day by myself endlessly flipping channels in my opinion. Once we figured out where we were going to be staying, I could register for school again. Until then...

I noticed a guy, looked to be about my age, maybe a slight bit older, looking like he was really annoyed and really lost at the same time.

"Need a hand looking for something?" I offer, even though I really don't know my way around the library at all. Sometimes two sets of eyes is better.

"Need a hand looking for something?"

Connor looked up to see that an unfamiliar-looking girl had joined him in the aisle. He smiled and shook his head a little, glancing at the unorganized shelves again. "They don't exactly do a great job of keeping things in order here... wouldn't wanna waste your time, though. My problem, not yours. And I'm a big boy... I can find a book on my own, I think." He smiled again, hoping she didn't think he was ungrateful. It wasn't that he didn't appreciate the offer, he just wasn't so hot on accepting help from strangers.

He looked back to the shelf and his smile flickered and faded. "... except for, you know, now... when I can't."

"Not like I exactly had some grand plan and schedule to keep to today or anything." I smiled to the boy. "I'm more or less here 'cause it's more fun than spending the day by myself, as sad as that sounds."

I could tell he was trying to act like he didn't need any help, but he still looked hopelessly lost to me.

"My name's Dawn." I said, figuring I should at least introduce myself, "Are you sure you don't want to some help? I really don't mind. I wouldn't have offered if I did."

He hesitated for a moment, before smiling again and nodding, giving in. "Sure... thanks," he told her, withholding a sigh. "I'm looking for... well, first off, some book called 'Modern Biology.' I know I saw it over here last week, but now I can't find it again... either the librarian is blind or just lazy." He shrugged and pocketed the card he had been holding.

"I'm Connor, by the way. ... nice to meet you."

Having parted ways with Connor at the door, Landon had made a beeline for the occult section. This was nothing out of the ordinary. Their joint trips to the library always turned out the same way: Connor would go his way and spend his time doing schoolwork, while Landon ignored any and all assignments he might have been given to go and pursue his own interests. Oh, and meet cute girls. The library was good for that, too. Cute, interesting girls who liked books more than they liked discussing how many shades of pink they had in their nail polish arsenal.

Today, however, his business was with the books. Checking the computer on his way in, he smiled to himself when he found the title he had been looking for. Making his way to the shelves, he quickly located a black book bound in a ratty plastic cover, bearing the unimpressive title of The Essential Psychokinetic."Yes! Finally got it in," he said to himself, grinning as he grabbed a few other books of similar subject matter before heading over the nearest table. Making himself
