the roof: monday afternoon
Nathan had been keeping mostly out of his room. His roommate was...interesting and reminded him a bit of Annalise. But just a bit. Where Annalise seemed to be welcoming and interested in him, Isabelle was not. So, he just made sure to keep his distance and to keep himself away from her things.
Today's exercise in distance involved catching the lift up to the roof and settling himself on the ledge with a book that he probably wasn't going to do much with. For the longest time, he just checked out the view. It was pretty spectacular and almost reminded him of Wales. Almost.
After awhile spent staring, Nathan opened the book and tried to make some sense of the words. Every so often, he'd find something he could actually read and get excited before realizing that it was pretty sad that he was getting that excited over something so small and that would send him right back to quiet. But, he kept at it. The book made no sense but that really wasn't the point. Nathan just wanted to find one whole sentence that he could read. Just one.
So far, he hadn't accomplished what he set out to do. It was pretty depressing and Nathan nearly threw the book off the roof a few times. He might actually go through with that here shortly. Maybe.
