3 Chance Encounter 3 (1/2)

While all the commotion was occurring in the main part of the offices, there were 2 people who were blissfully unaware of the disturbance they had caused by walking through.

Aika and the dean sat across from each other at his desk, preparing to go over the student agreements and housing arrangements.

As the dean flipped through pages on the school's housing catalog to look for availability, Aika tapped her foot to a song in her head, singing along silently and smiling. The dean, already filled with anxiety over his misunderstanding of what happened at the entrance, glanced up and saw the monster sitting there tapping her foot and smiling. He assumed wrongly again that she was impatient with how long it was taking and her smiles appeared to his eyes as a monster thinking about how it would devour it's prey.

Feeling the jaws of death closing around him, he sped up his search. When he finished searching through there were several rooms available, and he looked up at her once again before clearing his throat.

”Miss Suzuki, do you have any preferences as to dorm location?”

After getting caught distracted twice within an hour, Aika's face flushed in embarrassment and she bit the inside of her lip to calm herself.

”I get to have preferences?”

She was genuinely thrilled, from everything she had read online the dorms were assigned automatically. Little did she know, the dean had interfered and taken her as a special case to smooth over the mishap earlier.

Jordan Maple cleared his throat and adjusted papers randomly.

”Well, typically we assign new students dorms randomly, because it's the middle of the year and their are several options, I've decided to offer you a little bit of input.”

”Is there anything on the top floor? I don't like having people above me making noise.”

”Yes, well... the dorm on the top floor might not be the best choice. Can I recommend the one on the far right of the floor just below?”

”Is there something wrong with the dorm on the top floor?”

Aika tilted her head and looked at him curiously, not understanding what could be so problematic that he would suggest a different dorm.
