Move-in Week!

[au_admin]

Aaron University, or AU as the many sweatshirts proclaimed, had more than it's fair share of mad times, but none so much as Move In Week. When the students returned, or first came, they came in droves along the streets of Aaron's Grove, Virginia, packing the streets of the college town with their parents's cars and their UHauls. They filled the streets, hitting the college bookstore, the bars and restaurants, and of course, the Grove Mall and grocery stores, buying out everything they could possibly need for the first month of their lives, far away from home.

However, if you thought this time of year was when the Professors got to sit back and just wait for the students to get themselves sorted? You'd be sorely mistaken. It's the time of year where Heads of Departments are looking for syllabuses, for updates on exam schedules, and of course to pull the Professors to entertain Freshman Orientation events, to volunteer to manage and run student activities, or just show up at the Dean's annual Tea to greet the Professors back to another successful fall semester.

It's utter insanity, for young adults looking to start their paths, or who are halfway there, and the older adults who are there to guide them through their formative educational years. And what better place, then AU?

"Vivian," she corrected with a little salute of her fingers.

She got to her bare feet and padded over to him, adjusting her broom pan/door stop. Casually, with a little flick of her gaze over him, she leaned against a stack of boxes.

"What's your name?"

"Vivian.."

He liked it. It suited her. Sort of ... elegant. He looked back at her, surprised to find her right in front of him. Hello stealthy hot girl.

Wait, she asked his name. "... Isaac. Isaac Lahey."

He leaned against the doorway, stuffing his hands in his pockets, "So, Vivian, not Jessica, I have to ask. What's with all the unpacked boxes?"

[untames]

She actually looked a little embarrassed, raking a hand through her thick hair with a small laugh.

"I started with my clothes..." Vivian gestured to the half-filled bureau at the foot of her bed. "And then I started unpacking my books and art supplies and I found myself sitting on the floor. And an hour later, you found me like this."

He gave her a faintly amused smile, before he glanced around. "So, what you're saying here is, you either need help moving in, or you need help avoiding the work for a little longer."

He tilted his head at her, before deciding to just go for it. "You know, I can help you with that."

"I'd much prefer a distraction. Maybe I can be of some help to you since you seem to have lost your friends in the mix," Vivian offered in return, lifting her chin as she grinned, a twinkle in her eyes. Oh, yes, she liked him instantly.

"As for the moving in, I can take care of that myself."

"Well, I'm glad to oblige then ... you hungry? I came to find my friends because we're supposed to be meeting for dinner, but they took off without me and none of them are answering my texts. So we're going to troll downtown, to find where they're eating and hopefully? Eat ourselves." That twinkle made his grin widen.

"Hey, just asking. I'll take any excuse I can get to help a pretty girl."
