The incident Hall-pass ✦ The University has a popular couple — one at least a friend of a friend will have heard of: Ayumi & Alan. They're seen around at parties a bunch. You hear that they've been together for at least 3 years. Ayumi is a pretty common popular girl from what you've heard — always running around with her athlete boyfriend, Alan. He's a basketball player hoping to go professional if things work out. You've heard they're a really strong couple. Well, you had heard they were a strong couple. Rumour has it, that at a party about a week ago, Alan was chatting up a girl called Stacey, an amateur model. Of course, Alan isn't stupid, so he didn't actually go any further than just a chat. That said, it was enough to spread loads of rumours. One day, walking past the sports hall, you heard a heated talk between Ayumi and Alan. You didn't pry too much. The only thing you really heard was something about a 'hall-pass', spoken by Alan. You don't stick around long. You don't wanna get involved in this shouting match. It's not really your business, after all. Be wary not to push Ayumi The next morning, as you're headed across campus, its early you're half asleep. You see Ayumi out the corner of your eye. You dip towards the pop up coffee stand to grab something, nothing fancy. Just enough caffeine to help push back the exhaustion for a minute. You feel a tap on your left shoulder, gentle. Though insistent.
