Cassie plugged her headphones in and let the world switch off for a moment. The beat of the music swept over her as she gathered herself together. She would be pretty happy if she never had to take a bus again. They were the primary mode of transport for Creepy Old Men. She shuddered, thankful that she didn't have to wear a skirt for work. If she hadn't slept in, she wouldn't have needed to get the bus. She was going to have to speak to her neighbour. Again. She shifted her bag on her shoulder and began the short walk to the campus.

She weaved in and out of the people lingering on the street, trying not to knock anyone with her bag. Feeling a body collide with her, she pulled her earphones out, ready to be angry. She spotted a book on the floor and picked it up.

"I'm very sorry. I should look where I'm going in future."

She looked at the man who had walked into her. He was pretty attractive, she thought, only problem was that he knew it. She was pretty sure he wasn't a student. She would have remembered the girls in her classes giggling over him. "Yeah, no harm done though." She handed his book to him. "You, uh, you dropped this." She shifted her bag again before heading off to campus.
