Chapter Text
Vex knew she did not want to be in this 7am class. She would have done anything not to have to take it. But this class is only offered at 7am during the fall semester. Ever. That’s it. It’s like the professor wants them all to die.
She’d been doing pretty good so far this semester. She had only skipped like 5 classes so far. She was only late to 3 of them. Usually if she was late she would just give up…
So here she was, 7am on a Friday morning sitting in a lecture hall chair too small, in a seat in the very back of the room with her notebook open to a half-filled page pen hovering waiting for the lecture to begin. She began drumming it against her notebook.
Then Percy entered the classroom, heading straight for the back of the classroom. He threw his leather briefcase looking bag down near his chair and plopped into the chair one away from her. He slowly began sinking setting his coffee in front of him and releasing a large sigh.
“Good morning to you, too” She smirked at him.
He looked over at her, and she saw large black circles under her eyes. He shrugged, “Bad morning.”
“Alright, darling.” she continued tapping as she watched him lean over and grab out of his bag a can of energy drink. Vex raised an eyebrow at him as he popped the tab into the can. He took a sip of his coffee, and it looked like it wasn’t empty, but proceeded to pour the whole thing into the coffee thermos. He picked up the odd concoction and took a long drink from the container. “Uhhh, is that healthy?”
“Wow, I hope not. I’m going to die.” He said drinking the mixture once more.
Vex started laughing at him as the professor walked into the classroom and started the lecture.
Honestly, Vex was impressed that he had finished the damn thing. He looked disappointed when there wasn’t anymore in the container. Everyone had begun clearing their areas and were clearing out of the classroom, the professor having already left.
“Does that even taste good?”
“No, no, but it is the best way to get caffeine in my body without injecting it into my body.”
Vex laughed at that again. “I’d like to see you in action when you aren’t tired. Must be something impressive.”
He looked kind of shell-shocked at her for a few moments. “If you’d like we could get coffee sometime.”
“I think anymore and you might actually die, how about a movie?”
He picked up his briefcase, “Yeah, yeah okay, that sounds good.”
“Wonderful. I’ll meet you at the theater at 8.” She threw her pack over her shoulder and started to leave.
“What movie are we watching?”
“I don’t imagine we’ll be watching any movie,” She said as she left him alone in the classroom.
“fuck”
