That Not So Average College Love Story

Part One: Autumn, Chapter Seventeen

Once the two clock in for their shifts Lianna grabs her earbuds, putting them in as she grabs the cleaning supplies to clean the mess hall. Randomly putting on a playlist she starts to get into it. The songs on that playlist were mostly break-up themed songs and just overall give a mad tone.

"Lia?" She pauses her music as Cora taps her shoulder, a book in her hands.

"Hey Cora, how are you today?"

"I'm good, Mary says I should say hi to you and show you what everyone said to your prompt a few days ago." The older girl puts her broom against one of the columns as she puts her hand out to take the notebook from the younger's hands.

"How about you go back and get some food with Mary and I'll finish the last of my duties here before asking for a break then we'll read them together." Cora smiles, taking the notebook back and going to an older woman who chuckled at the sight of the two.

"Good afternoon Lianna."

"Good afternoon, how are you?"

"I'm good, waiting for my shift to end as perusal."

"How's Harry?"

"He's good, his knees are getting in better shape than they have in the past few weeks."

"That's good, well go get some food and I'll finish up here."

"Alright, see you whenever."

"Uhm, bye." The two leave as the psych major smiles, waving slightly before going back to finish the last of sweeping and wiping down tables.

--

When she finishes she finds the table where the two women sat at, Cora showing Mary something in the notebook that made them both laugh.

"Hey you two."

"Hi Lia!" Cora grins.

"Hello."

"If you wanna take off Mary I can pick up the last of your duties."

"Oh thank you, I don't think my back could handle any more." The girl smiles, watching as the older woman gets up and stretches.

"Then I'll see you on the twelfth."

"Yep, goodbye Cora."

"Bye bye miss Mary."

"See you later Lianna."

"You too Mary." The older woman walks off to the office to sign out and go off to her husband back at home.

"So," Lianna slides into the bench across from the girl who was flipping through the notebook. "What did you want to show me?"

"Charles and Julie wrote to me!" Pure happiness showed on the girl's face, pushing the notebook over to the other where she had stopped on a page that was near the beginning of it.

Hello, it is currently September 8th 2036, I guess, today has gone well. Miss Mary has been taking good care of me and been helping me through the overbearing emotions that I have gotten in the past few days from something unknown. But how are you all?

- Charles

The psych major smiles as she continues to look at the cursive handwriting, the way Charles writes always fascinated her and if she could, she would ask him to write something for her in such beautiful handwriting. Her eyes scroll down the page to see Julie's response.

Hi! It's September 8th 2036 and I've gone over another therapist check in. Mrs Koffner says that I'm doing well and she really likes when I talk about things that make me happy and not the things that are sad. I don't think I need to be sad when I have such amazing people around me, such as Kyle, Mary, Lia, and Marcy. Though, there are times I am sad and I don't think they're exactly fun times. Bad thoughts invade my head and I don't like them, they make me want to cry. So to answer your question Charles, I think I'm doing decently. But, I haven't seen Lianna in a few days and it's starting to get lonely. I like hearing her talk and I want to know how school's going if she is in fact going still and hasn't graduated. But, I think that's all for today's diary entry.
