Third floor common room, Saturday around noon

Malcolm had spent the morning wandering around, boggling. Harken had never looked like this before! They must have remodeled the whole dorm! Of course, that meant he kept getting lost -- Malcolm wasn't that great at finding his way around on a good day. But there were all these new people around! It was his duty as a long-standing Harken student to meet them, right?

He just wished he could find Jake or Zoe or even Mr. Felcher. They'd know what was going on. . . .

He finally settled into one of the large common rooms and sat perched on the couch. Maybe someone would come by who could tell him what was going on.

Luke gallantly handed her a sandwich with a swirl of mustard. "See, then you've missed out," he said. "I grew up on 'em. American classic."

Peyton took a careful bite. It wasn't really incredibly appetizing, but it wasn't too bad. "Thanks," she said.

"It's nothing. I like cooking," Luke told her. "I used to work at this lumberjack camp with my mom? When you have a bunch of hungry guys in flannel waiting for a sandwich, you better watch your bologna."

The anecdote wasn't true, but it usually made people smile.

"I'm Luke."

"Lumberjacks like bologna?" Peyton asked with a smile. He was a cute kid.

"Bologna, salami, ham ... you really can't buy enough lunchmeat for 'em," Luke cheerfully fabricated. "I'm Luke, by the way. Good to meetcha."

"Hi, Luke," she said with a chuckle. "I'm Peyton. It's nice to meet you too."

"Pretty name," Luke told her. "Are you a senior or something?"

She looked at least 18.

"Senior?" Peyton raised an eyebrow. "I thought this was probably some sort of finishing school."

"It is, it is," Luke protested, still having no idea what finishing school meant. "High school and finishing school."

"Oh, okay," Peyton said feeling mollified. "I was wondering for a minute there."

"Would I steer you wrong?" Luke joked.

Yes. Yes, he would.

"Depends," Peyton said with a laugh. "What would you get out of it?"

"Hey, I'm not that kinda guy!" Luke protested, not answering the question.

"Sure, of course you're not, sweetie," Peyton said with a grin.
