<div style="text-align: justify;">March 3rd, 2017 - 6:30 PM - University of Texas<br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">Janet "Jinny" Price</span><br/><br/>"Oh, man, I'm late", she muttered to herself, checking the time on her phone. She had arranged to meet her friends for dinner and drinks at a mom and pop place near campus, but had gotten caught up in the campus library, doing some research for a new project she was working on for her course. Well... a part of her had gotten distract with other books not related to her topic, but that was something Jinny wasn't about to admit.<br/><br/>Oh, well, it was a Friday, everyone should have a little time to stay out late. Maybe they could even pull an all nighter today, who knew?<br/><br/>Fishing her phone from her pocket, Jinny kept on walking, half of her attention on her feet and half on the screen.<br/><br/>Opening her messaging app, she pulled one of the contacts, named simply as "Phil".<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">'You at the restaurant yet?'</span>, she typed quickly.<br/><br/>A few seconds later, a message came back.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">'Not yet, why?'</span><br/><br/>Jinny sigh and rolled her eyes. She should have known. <br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">'Never mind. I was gonna ask you to let everyone know I'll be right there. I just need to drop a few books off in my room, and then I'll drive, so maybe about 15 mins'</span>, she sent.<br/><br/>After a few minutes - and when Jinny was already walking into the dorm - the message came back from Phil.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">'I'm just getting here, I'll let them know'</span>.<br/><br/>Reasoning that it wasn't worth wasting time sending another message, Jinny went up to her room and dropped off the books, taking a few extra minutes to jump in a shower and change into something nicer for dinner.<br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline">Phillip Allerton, Jr</span><br/><br/>Like he had told Janet, Phillip was just outside the restaurant where their small group of friends usually met for dinner on Fridays. They usually chose that place for their weekly meetings for two reasons. One, the food was pretty good. Two, it was cheap. Two was probably a very strong deciding factor, if they were to be honest. Not everyone had a lot of money available while going to college, after all.<br/><br/>Still, time with friends was important, be it in a small restaurant or someone's place. As long as they could get together, it didn't matter where. <br/><br/>Pushing his thoughts back to the present, Phil walked in the small restaurant and looked around, trying to find out who was already in and where they were sitting.</div>
