Emily was in a great mood when she went down to the parking lot. The sun was shining, the air was sweet, and she had gotten a good morning text from her crush, a business major named Brandon who had been in her project group with two other people a few weeks ago.
They really hit it off to the point where they started hanging out in between classes and he had recently offered a standing ride to work. She still rode with Justin in the mornings because they were coming from the same place but she figured he was probably happy that he didn't need to wait for her after school anymore.
Her friend seemed to have a pretty busy life. Whenever she saw him out and about around the apartment complex, he was either on the phone or seemed in a daze.
He was probably tired. They had compared homework loads before and she was amazed by how many hours of coding he had to do on top of regular assignments for his general classes.
