[Barry]
Time had flown by quickly, and Barry found himself at the entrance of the library, feeling like his heart would beat out of his chest. It was time for his non-date with Caitlin. Part of him wanted to leave because he didn't want to be alone with Caitlin. But that was overruled by the thought of Iris pressuring him into studying with her.
Which he'd never do
So he sucked it up, and walked inside the library. He found Caitlin at one of the tables, and approached her.
"Cait."
She looked up at him, and gave him a small smile. "Barry."
He sat next to her and placed his backpack on the table. "What are you studying?"
"Biology. You?"
"Biology."
They shared a look.
"We're not in the same class, are we?"
Barry shook his head. "I think we'd both if we did. What's your major?"
"Bioengineering."
Barry raised his eyebrows. "Wow. Impressive."
"What about you?"
"Forensic scientist."
"Impressive."
Barry chuckled at her as she mocked him. "Look at us. A couple of science nerds studying on a Wednesday night. We have no life."
"I do. I eat, sleep, cook."
"I'm pretty sure that most every single person does that. What do you do for fun? Like your hobbies.
Barry waited for an answer that Caitlin didn't give.
"Do you have any hobbies?"
Caitlin looked him in the eyes. "I spent most of my life focusing on my schoolwork. I studied day and night and tried really hard. My mom pushed me to be the best, academically, and was always working hard. So I didn't really do anything else."
Barry watched her as she looked away, seeing the sadness in her eyes when mentioning her mother.
"You know what?"
Caitlin glanced back to him as he started to put his stuff away.
"Let's go."
He stood up and packed Caitlin's stuff up for her and reached for her hand.
