And We'll Go From There(Anastasia College AU)

Enter Boy

Anya sat in the middle of the commons under a tree. She was studying one of her textbooks closely in the shade of the branches and slowly browning leaves. She bit her lip and sighed heavily as she turned the page. The tapping of her pen against the bench she was sitting on showed off her anxiety to any keen observer. One such observer had just made his way across the commons.

"Having trouble?" Anya looked up, fairly startled. She tilted her head and studied the man before her. He was tall, well built, and he had the look of every other frat boy on campus. Anya let a breath out her nose as she prepared for whatever idiotic thing the man was about to say, "I'm taking calculus too. I could help you."

It wasn't phrased as a question, he had invited himself to help but Anya would have none of it, "Actually I'm fine." Her voice was sharp and confident, both qualities she prided herself on. The boy looked taken aback, he was clearly new to the idea of girls saying no to him.

He quickly collected himself, "I'm sorry, it just looked like you needed help. How could I pass up a chance to help such a pretty girl?"

Anya arched an eyebrow and eyed him skeptically, trying to see if he was being genuine with his flirting. He was.

"Well, this "pretty girl" is also a pretty smart girl so you can just be on your way." Anya looked back down at her work, clearly done with the conversation and expecting him to scurry off.

"Won't you at least ask my name?"

Anya didn't even look up, she just shook her head.

"Cold." the boy said this under his breath and collected himself once again. Anya was thriving off of the way she was able to mess with this idiotic man child, "Well I'll have you know my name is Gleb. You'll be seeing me again."

"I'd rather gouge my eyes out. Which I might have to do if you keep up threats like that." Gleb let out a strangled sound then decided that Anya wasn't worth his time and finally turned away, leaving Anya to her work.
