The lack of chemistry between two students speaking for the first time is becoming glaringly obvious by the mere seconds it’s taking for their conversation to devolve into a discussion of dining hall preferences.

“Yeah it’s just that the line at the Ratty have been so brutal this year,” said freshman Dave Jones, trying to remember if he’s already asked where his conversational partner is from. “Andrews is also like that too. Especially on Sundays.”

“Yes, I agree,” flatly replied freshman Rachel Smith, now looking past Jones for a friend to give her an excuse to leave. “Some mornings, I prefer to walk south to the Ratty to avoid the line in Andrews.”

Sources also report Jones replied with a noncommittal “hmm” and both parties took several steps away from each other before saying, “Well, see you around.”
