<div style="text-align: justify;">Patty smiled and shook her head when Jackson took on that mock-hurt expression. "Fine, we can arrange for that", she replied with a smile. His following comments made her smile grow a little wider. She wasn't interested in flirting right now. Just like Jackson, she just needed company and someone to spend time with.<br/><br/>Patricia was about to say yes to the idea of checking out the bars, but she didn't have the chance to do so, as Jackson was called into the international office.<br/><br/>With a soft sigh, the girl fished up a small notebook from her bag and started scribbling, as it was her habit when she had to wait for something or someone. Hopefully, she thought, they would both be lucky and solve their issues really quickly.<br/><br/>When Jackson came out, she would be there, waiting and writing, having zoned out for a while. It was one of her little idiosyncrasies, just one of the little things that made Patricia who she was.<br/><br/>"Huh?", she asked, looking up from her notebook when she had the impression of hearing someone call her name.<br/><br/>The girl seemed a little ashamed of herself when she finally got back down to Earth. Hearing the lady repeat her name, Patricia shoved her notebook inside her bag and stood up. "Sorry", she murmured in a sheepish intonation before following the woman inside the enrollment office.<br/><br/>As she had hoped, it didn't take too long for everything to get sorted out. She had to take an elective to fill in her slot, but it was an elective she would have taken anyway at some point, so everything was fine. As soon as she stepped out of the office, Patty looked around, hoping to still see Jackson in the waiting area.</div>
