It was strange to Josie that she was enjoying herself as much as she was just then in an educational setting. In school, she had never really liked any of the subjects besides English, and here at uni, she got to sit and listen to professors who were truly experts on English literature ramble on about Othello and specific analysis on act 3 scene 3. She loved every single second of it, and was sure she could sit there for hours on end just listening to her professors. At one point she was sure this would all get tiring and she'd hate University, but in that moment, hearing her professor, Richard, talk about things that truly interested her, was such a breath of fresh air compared to what she had experienced previously.

The door to the lecture hall opened, and since the doors were right by the blackboard where Richard stood talking about Othello and the 'temptation' scene, all eyes landed on the blonde girl in pink shorts and a white jumper. She smiled at Richard, mouthing a "sorry" before taking the first free seat she could find, which was conveniently right beside Josie. The two girls shared a small smile themselves before Josie went back to focusing on the lecture happening in front of her. Josie was hunched over her notebook, writing something off from the PowerPoint slide displayed on the wall in front of her. She did not know how much time went by, she was listening too intently to care about that, but suddenly, the blonde beside her rested her back against the seat and leaned a little closer to Josie.

"This is quite boring, innit?"

Josie looked to her left, and to her surprise, realised that the girl who had walked in late was Chloe. The same Chloe who she had met when she registered a week and some ago. She must have been too caught up in the lecture to pay proper attention to her surroundings.

Chloe let out a small chuckle, nodding in the direction of the PowerPoint before she continued to whisper. "The lecture. I knew we'd be discussing Shakespeare in Introduction to English Studies, but Othello's just fucking boring, innit?"

"I..." Josie looked at the PowerPoint for a few seconds, then back at Chloe. "Sure."

They were quiet for a few seconds, Chloe just studying Josie, eyes searching her face. "You like Othello."
