In the wash of new light, Tristy sat in a boring lesson.
Yawn.
"Waverly, Waverly, Waverly,"
Tristy sang to herself in a daze. Oh, with Tristy and her dear Waverly currently walls apart, Tristy longed for her girlfriend's presence. With her hands on her cheeks, her elbows on the desk, Tristy rocked her head from side to side as she dreamt of her dear Waverly.
"Tristy, focus!" Michelle, the Arts Professor, snapped at a dreaming Tristy in order to wake her up. "You won't get anywhere by daydreaming. Pay attention."
'You won't get anywhere by daydreaming,'
daydreaming about her dear Waverly. Tristy sighed.
"Oops, sorry! I'm so sorry, professor!" Tristy apologised, she immediately snapped out of this trance and nervously smiled at the professor. She rubbed her throbbing temples as she glanced back at her sketchbook, to the figure model, and then to Waverly in her mind.
"Is everything alright, Tristy?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you, professor." Tristy smiled, returning to her work.
Just a usual day in Fine Arts class. It was part of the policy to have mobiles switched off, yet Tristy kept her mobile switched on silent. She felt the vibration of a text message buzzing in her jacket pocket.
"Hey, do you wanna hang out at lunch break?"
Under her desk, she read the private text message from her lovely girlfriend Waverly.
"Sure, do you wanna head to the comic store again?" Tristy replied.
After this text message was sent, Tristy returned to the piece in her sketchbook, a rough sketch of the figure model that was on display at the front of the class. It was her class assignment to have this sketch complete by the end of the lesson.
"I was maybe thinking about the park? It'll be lunch break, so we won't have enough time at your dorm."
Tristy's sorority was just ten minutes away from the School of Art.
"Fine, whatever. I'll see ya at lunch break, babe." Tristy replied.
As it turned out, the piece Tristy sketched for art class wound up resembling Waverly, perhaps it was her... albeit nude. Oh, silly Tristy!
Tristy already felt butterflies in her stomach at the mere thought of spending time with her dear Waverly, albeit first, she had to take a quick trip to the bakery. It was two hours of Fine Arts class this morning, though once time struck twelve o'clock it was time for lunch break and to have fun. The two of them were bound to be merry once lunch break was done! Wink, wink.
12:00 PM
The bakery was a converted cow barn, rustic on the outside and perfection on the inside. It was located near the reception. The loaves of bread were all local grain and of many varieties. There were plaits and cobs, buns and cakes, soda breads and flatbreads... so much. At lunch break, Tristy would always visit this bakery and buy something she was eager to try, and she would always spend time eating these baked goods with Waverly. It was the height of the season, both Tristy and Waverly loved summertime.
Tray after tray were on display, she eyed the cakes and breads that were displayed in a seal glass cabinet. With murmurs and mutters, Tristy found it difficult to decide whether she wanted one of those cheesy twists or a pizza pocket, the usual baked goods sold at the University Bakery. She never really liked muffins, but anything cheesy she liked more. The baker watched her viewing the wide counter, eagerly waiting for her order.
"Are you ready, or are you just browsing what's there?"
"Two pizza pockets, please!" Tristy requested, feeling rushed. She handed the payment and in return, she received a little bag of her desired pizza pockets. After all, pizza was much better than chocolate.
Once this deed was complete, Tristy went out skipping to the University Quad just outside the campus. The magpies sang with her skips, and on the concrete ground, she found the path messy with oily chips. Eww to the last part! It was quite a lovely day with the sun in the sky, a typical sunny day for love to fly.
"WAVERLY," Tristy waved. Tristy ran up to the bench to greet her dear girlfriend; she held out the little bag that contained the two pizza pockets to surprise Waverly. "Here, babe, have one." Tristy beamed from ear-to-ear at the brunette lass, watching the girl already digging into the treat.
"You didn't have to get this," Waverly cackled. But she was glad Tristy bought these pizza pockets, though, so glad.
"I know pizza is your favourite," Tristy winked. She sat on the bench beside Waverly, close enough to cuddle her.
Tristy and Waverly sat on the bench under an old oak tree whilst the lads threw a frisbee to each other on the green. There was a water fountain displayed in the centre of the Quadrant, and some footballs were scattered here and there on the patio. Stupid place to leave footballs, anyone could fall over and break their neck.
"So, no comics today?" Tristy asked.
