The Market was one of the most popular places at Sizemore Tech for food. Located at the juncture between the Stangel and Randolph Hall dorms, the Market consisted of a collection of shops selling a variety of foods. While most aren’t much better than mall food, the few legitimate chains […]
“Your partner’s here.” Nate jumped slightly when Julie touched his shoulder and spoke softly into his ear. The living room of Lambert Acres was crowded with people now. Thanksgiving wasn’t too far off and finals were not far beyond it. Most of the class felt the pressure of impending due […]
Tanner Creek was always peaceful. Jia found her bench at the bottom of the trail, nestled beneath the tall willows overshadowing the riverbank. Forming one of the natural barriers of the campus, almost no one came down here and it had the merit of being a good ten degrees cooler […]
Dani Wyngarde punched Alley Amherst in the mouth. Immediately, the silver-haired girl took a step back and narrowed her eyes. “What’s wrong?” Alley smiled slightly.
