And Justice For All

A few days go by. She sees her classmate in the lounge. She smiles and goes and sees him. They chat for a little bit. The guy is seated by her and there is that same girl next to him. She does not pay him any attention. However, his guy friend chats with her. She says hello and laughs with him. She notices that the guy has his stony face back on. She leaves. Earlier, she had ended up befriending a male classmate. She had told this classmate about the guy. The classmate seems to think that the guy likes her and he wants to know if she likes him. She refuses to answer. However, he says that he believes that she likes him because of the way she acts and speaks of the guy. She tells the classmate that the guy is young. And that is all that she will say. However, the significant age difference is a problem to her. So, after seeing the guy in the lounge, she goes and gets her classmate. They discuss the upcoming visit of a Supreme Court justice. They discuss seating and everything. She does not pay the guy any attention. She does not even know what his reaction is to her.

She arrives late to the Supreme Court justice’s speech. Her outfit is not right and she did not have time to do her hair. Frankly, she looks a mess. Afterwards, she runs into a professor and they have a discussion about the speech. As she is speaking to the professor the guy walks by. He is dressed in his Mr. Rogers outfit. They both look at each other. She is self-conscious about her look. She goes home to do her hair and get her suit jacket. When she gets back to school she looks for him, but does not see him. She sits in the VIP section. She keeps looking in the audience looking for him, but she does not see him.
