Ben sighed as he sat on a branch we he read a book for class. /I hate book assignments/ he thought as he turned the page. Not seeing or feeling the book slip, it fell out of his hands and landed on the ground below, /Thank goodness it didn't land in the water...I would have had to pay for a replacement/ he ran a hand over his face and jumped down, getting the book and putting his bookmark on the page he was on.
He wore a blue and black beanie with a striped shirt and dark jeans with black sneakers. Pulling his bag out of the tree, he grunted as his things fell out and some unimportant papers landed in the water. "Great....." he mumbled as he fished them out. Leaning too far, he fell into the water.

As Lauren started to wander around the chilly campus, her eyes circled all around the school ground. Rubbing her shoulders and tying her hair up into a ponytail, she has realized it was probably a bad idea to JUST wear a thin long sleeve, jeans and a leather jacket over herself. "Stupid weather, I'm sick of it already!" her heels slowed her down a bit as she walked through the grass. Hearing a splash her head swung to the direction of the loud sound. There was a guy who has fallen in the water. "Oh I would hate to be in his place.." she mumbled under her breath. Lauren quickly sprinted over to the stranger, her legs wobbling like a newborn deer. Reaching out her hand to the man she looked at him with a slight smirk.

Ben spit out a good amount of water and took the girls hand, "Let me guess, you saw that?" he asked as he got out and was now soaking wet. He pulled off his beanie and wrung out the water, pulling off his shirt, he did the same thing and put it back on, /Not doing that with my pants or boxers, that wouldn't be a good idea/ he thought. "Uh....Thanks by the way" he said, "I'm Benjamin. Everyone calls me Ben...And you are?" he asked as he held his hand out to her for her to shake.

Studying the boy's face she chuckled "Bad day, huh?" Lauren took out a few papers caught on the sides of the land that were still half in the water and laid them out on the grass. "I'm Lauren. But everyone just calls me Lauren." She smiled, the humor shined through her. Taking his hand she slid her hand into his lightly shaking it, so delicately.

"You can say that" he slightly smiled. He shook her hand and chuckled, "No nickname I see" he said. He then looked at the papers, "I can get rid of those. They aren't important" he grabbed the papers she had just laid on the grass and crumpled them. Ben sighed and put the things that weren't ruined back in his bag, "I should really get an actual backpack. Not something like this..." he said more to himself. He rubbed the back of his neck as he looked around.

"No.. don't. Ahh and he.. crumbled them. WELL that was a waste. " She tucked her lips as she watched him and shrugged "Mm there are always jansports.. they last a few years, or so I've been heard" Lauren chuckled, shrugging just giving a small opinion.

"Yeah. I've been meaning to get something like that" Ben said. "Were you headed somewhere before you came over here to help the stupid guy out of the lake?" he asked. "Or were you just walking around?" He knew he shouldn't have asked that, probably a personal question but Ben couldn't help his curiosity most of the time. /I'm going to need to change out of this before I get sick/ he thought.

"Before I came over here to help the stupid guy out of the lake I was actually heading over to my dorm to fetch a book I was going to return to the library" she chuckled at the first part she repeated after Benjamin. "Hm, you're cold? You should change." She said looking at the stream of drops falling from the bottom of his pants.

"Ouch" Ben said. "Really hope I'm not bleeding after that shot to the chest" he joked as he looked for any wounds. "I'm not cold I just need to change before I get sick" he told her as he shivered, not noticing it. "What book were you going to return?" he then asked, tilting his head a bit.

Laughing out Lauren covered her mouth and watched him. "Yeah, you're not cold. Say that while you shiver like a chihuahua." She teased and touched his arm, his sleeve cold from the dampness. Shrugging she just said "Eon, just one of majestic geeky collection books." she blushed "Nice way to put it stupid." she said at herself.

-I actually do that xD-
"I don't shake like a chihuahua" he told her and stopped himself. "I actually need to return a book too" he said. "I'm going to go change then head to the library" he added. Getting his bag, he headed to his room to change. /I'm so stupid. I could have just put a force field around myself so I wouldn't get wet. But noooooo I didn't think of that/ Ben mentally kicked himself.

Raising a brow she smirked "Don't stop yourself now!" Lauren laughed out noticing. "Aw that's great then we can go together, that's if.. you don't mind" she added and started to part away from him. Taking one last glance at him as he walked away she twirled her hair feeling accomplished of meeting someone new. She went to her dorm and took off her leather jacket putting on a thick, red hoodie that said 'Ridgefield Park Scarlets ' in the front with a crow, and in the back 'Sheeran 09' her number from when she was still on the volleyball team.

"I don't mind" Ben called before they got to where they were supposed to get to. Once in his room, Ben dug through his things and for a long sleeve shirt and light jeans that had accidentally been bleached a bit. Grabbing a hat and a jacket, he headed back out with the book he had to return, heading to the library.

Lauren switched her shoes as well into black vans looking like one of those volleyball chicks who constantly wore sweatpants, hoodies and flip flops. She took her book took a flip through it and left the room locking it behind her. She started to walk into the library.

Ben sighed as he got to the library before her and returned the book and now looked for a new one that interested him. He made a face as he read the back of some of the books. /Where are the good mystery or murder books?/ he thought.

Lauren came into the library and threw the book into the return bin. She started to wander around the library and went to the fiction section. Through the small gaps she peeked and noticed Benjamin and chuckled to herself. Let's mess with him. she pushed through one book, so it would fall next to him.

Ben narrowed his eyes as the book fell, picking it up, he put it back and continued to look for something to read. He sighed and went to a different isle. "Where are those books?" he said more to himself, knowing no one was near him. Ben always hate the quiet so he pulled out his ipod and started to listen to some music as he walked around.

Lauren giggled and quickly covered her mouth before he overheard her laughter. Slowly creeping over to his direction she pushed two books, one on his left side and the other on his right side. As she watched him pick up the books she her head through a large gap in lightly empty bookshelf. She chuckled at him and went around the section to him.

"I knew someone was messing with me. Just didn't think it was you" Ben told her. "Now why were you doing that?" he asked, crossing his arms and looking down at her. He put the books back and found a book, reading the back, he held onto it in case he decided to check it out.

Lauren chuckled at his reaction and shrugged "I'm sorry I just couldn't help but resist!" She said and peeked at the book he held "Hm mystery" she smiled and looked around and took out a book about some sort of betrayal and murder.
