Haley

Scott was gone, and the only thing that made Haley get out of bed on Monday morning was the start of summer classes. After a weekend spent holed up in her room watching Romeo + Juliet on repeat, Haley was glad something was forcing her to react. With two grad computer science courses and an advanced statistics class on her plate, she hoped she’d be too busy to mope over Scott.

He’d called every day since he’d gotten to California, but talking over the phone was a poor replica of a real-life conversation, and every single time he’d been in a hurry. Too many things to set up, too many places he needed to be. And he hadn’t even started working yet. If things kept going this way, she’d be lucky if they managed to talk for more than ten minutes at a time.

Unfortunately, the first week of school proved all her fears right. The classes were demanding, but not nearly challenging enough to absorb Haley completely. She still had plenty of time to feel lonely. After almost seven months dating Scott, she was used to being held, kissed, and cuddled. The lack of physical contact was taking its toll, and the difficulties in talking to each other were rattling her emotionally. Conversations with Scott were officially counted in minutes—single digits—and not hours.

Saturday morning, still in this state of mind, Haley was positively scared of spending another full weekend in her room. She worried she’d end up with another forty-eight-hour marathon of tragic love movies and endless tears… so she decided to go to the library to do her homework. Usually, she didn’t care to use a shared space to study. Library goers had a tendency of rolling their eyes at her constant keyboard click-clacking that made Haley uncomfortable. But staying home wasn’t an option today. In a public location, Haley would have to get her act together, concentrate on her assignments, and she definitely wouldn’t be able to watch any movie or cry.

Of all the facilities available on campus, Haley settled on the Widener Library. If she really had to go study somewhere, she might as well pick Harvard’s flagship library. The building was an impressive brick rectangle, its front lined with huge white pillars that stood at the head of a flight of steps. Inside, the larger study room, Widener Loker Reading Room, had an old-style feel and was even more impressive with its high-vaulted light-green ceiling that let in plenty of natural light.

The place must’ve been a lot emptier than during a regular term, but still, all the long rectangular tables had two to three students already seated at them. Haley shuffled to the back of the room, toward a table with only two busy seats at the opposite ends. On the left, facing Haley, was an Asian girl in a red cotton sweater with long dark locks, her neck bent over a set of open tomes. On the right, there was an empty chair with a messenger bag strapped across its back and a laptop opened on an Excel sheet.
