I'm sitting in one of my Lit classes and there's this girl sitting next to me with dyed red hair and frock coat and scarf and all sorts of semi-homeless-chic attire. I'm jotting down notes like mad, because I had to get the e-book form of the text and can't make notes on the book pages. Meanwhile, she's writing something down next to me on legal notepad. I realize I it doesn't quite look like notes, and she's got her ipod blaring in her ears, so I figure she won't notice me peeking over.
On the notepad she had written down a venn diagram of Job Internship and House Party. Under Internship, she had "business casual attire" and some other random things I couldn't read. Under House Party she had "American Apparel" and "free pot" and "Cocaine". I suddenly got curious as to what was in the middle of the venn diagram, but she kept covering her scribblings with her hand. Maybe she was aware of my snooping. None the less, she keeps listing down things in her venn diagram and I can't tell if this is some strange assignment or her weekend plans.
Also of note, soon into the lecture she starts shaking her pen madly while writing down her list. About halfway into the lecture she stops with the venn diagram and her knee starts shaking like crazy and her foot is going tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap! I'm starting get a bit worried.
Then she starts a new page, and I think she might actually start writing notes. There's some actual text in the upper left corner. I ignore cocaine girl for awhile, but look back over because I'm a bit tired of my own note writing. What I see is that she's filled half the page with random curvy foilage patterns. Halfway down the foilage stops and she's drawn a zig-zagging wall across the page. Underneath this she's drawn what can only be described as the detached tails of the chesire cat. I'm just confused now and various parts of her body are still shaking. I sneak back to my notes.
But then of course, I look over again and she's started drawing the detached tails into letters. The cat-tails read "THE MAN OF THE CROW". I'm like wtf. At this point I am just a little frightened of her and wondering if I should scoot over a seat.
Anyways, class ends, I get the fuck out and think I'm free. Only that the bus I choose to get onto has her on it. And on the second stop everyone gets off except for her and I, and she's sitting right across from me. So I moved seats.
