Every time Jane took off her ipod, she made sure the earphones were neatly wrapped up - and yet, somehow they always seemed to end up tangled. No matter what. Always tangled.

"Damn earphones. Uhh..."

Her class doesn't start until 7:15 but she was always one for being early. It gave her time to sit in her car with the music on and think. But 7:10 was approaching and so she grabbed for the ipod and out she went.

"And the charade starts..."

:pressed play:

"...now."

As she walked upstairs towards her class, Jane started thinking about the definition of extroversion. I don't blame her - she was the picture of an introvert - and although Jane envied the openness of others, she was all too comfortable in her skin. One day, though, she'll do something unexpected. One day.

Jane was a couple of footsteps from the class door when she remembered Doug and how he had given her his number (and myspace link) last week. Doug was a five foot five, karate practicing, death metal rocker. He had given her his number...
"you know, just in case I don't go to class one day. Oh, and by the way... I have unlimited texting if you're into that sort of thing."
"planning on skipping already? it's the first day of class"

Jane couldn't see herself with Doug. And I don't really know how Doug could exactly see himself Jane. ::Doug sounds like bland mashed potatoes with old gravy:: Jane thought. She walked in the classroom and lo and behold Doug was sitting right next to her - lab partners! How (not)fun.

So class that day was a mixture of awkward laughs and half-way smiles.
"Jane, would you want to go out one night? I dunno... and eat or something?"

::What the hell. What? You know what...:::
"...OK"

::Extroversion starts now::

Jane walks out of the class
