With a groan Laura sat back in her chair and stretched her arms over her head. She was long past tired of studying for her final exams for her first semester of Vet School but with a sigh she lowered her arms and turned to the next page of her vet genetics notes. She was in one of her University's main libraries, off in a corner looking at the wall where she wouldn't be quite so prone to getting distracted by the other students scattered about doing studying of their own. She was on her fourth straight day of marathon studying, with one exam down and three more to go.
She continued to read through her notes for another half hour or so until the urge to pee forced her to take a short break from her studies. Pushing her chair back from the table she stood, stretched, and made her way to the bathroom, leaving her books and backpack where they were.
After relieving herself she wandered back to her table, letting her mind wander and not paying too much attention to where she was going. It wasn't until she was almost back at her chair that she realized all of her books had been picked up and she felt a momentary panic until she noticed her boyfriend, John, standing next to her chair with her backpack over his shoulder.
"Oh! Hi." She said, surprised to see him.
"Hey." He responded quietly as he leaned in to kiss her briefly. Breaking the kiss he wrapped his arms around her to pull her into a hug. "Its break time" he said into her long blond hair as she leaned against him.
"But my genetics exam is tomorrow." She protested weakly.
"I'm sure you've already read through your notes five times, and you'll still have all evening." He said, adding "Plus, I won't keep you too long." with a slightly mischievous smile and sassy note to his voice. "Come on" and with that pulled her gently by one hand toward the elevator.
"The elevator? But we're on the first floor." Said Laura, confusion evident in her voice.
"I know. Which floor the stacks on?" John replied as he pulled her in to the elevator.
"Umm, I think any floor above the second." She responded, a hint of a question in her voice.
In response John simply pushed the button for the sixth floor and waited as the doors began to close.
