[Well said Mommablackrose. All are in my thoughts and prayers, and thank you for allowing me to be a part of this group roleplay.]<br/><br/>Thomas continued to sit on the bench and watched students and coeds walk through the large courtyard.  He gazed at the large stone fountain in the middle, and also heard music coming from across the far side of the courtyard, from an area that was not in his view.  He also saw a lot of people coming and going in that direction.  As he gazed around longer, he noticed a university maintenance man struggling to put a large, heavily loaded box in the back of a university pick up truck.  He smiled softly and concentrated in the direction of the box.  Within seconds, the maintenance man's eyes widened as he was able to load the box with ease, not the struggle as before.  Thomas smiled, and then an alarm went off inside him.  He felt as if he was being watched.<br/><br/>He turned and saw the girl in the black leather mini skirt and black and flamed tank top watching him.  He listened to her inquiry about why he wasn't enjoying parties.  Thomas looked at her, "I'm new on campus, just moved in this morning.  I'm taking a break from finding my way around this place.  Parties are like the lowest priority right now, finding where the buildings I that I need to go to class at, is."
