As students at Saint Mary’s, we have the awesome option of being able to avail of most of the amenities of that school across the street. One of those being The Notre Dame library, Hesburgh, otherwise known as “Club Hes.” As attendees of an all girl’s school, it can get pretty old only seeing guys on the weekends or at extracurriculars. (But, let’s be honest, most of the time…it is absolutely not a problem…) Sooo what better place to go visit other than the library?
The story goes something like this:
1) You and a couple of your best Belles decide you all just have SO much to study tonight that locking yourself up in Hess is really the only way to get it all finished. So you hop into whoever’s car, blast some tunes, and have a little jam sesh before you have to crack down.
2) You head on up to the second floor because you really do have to study and the first floor is just way too loud. You forgot that the second floor is also always busy; just a little quieter and now you’re searching the room for a seat, like:
3) Your friend finally finds a spot in the middle of the main room. No outlets are available, it’s kind of close to the group project going on in the corner, but it’ll do. Everyone stares at you as you take the seat; as if you’re interrupting their extreme cram session or something ….
4) About an hour later and you and your friends have finally finished getting situated, fetching your Starbucks, and whispering amongst yourselves about familiar people walking by so now it’s finally time to work.
5) You’ve been going strong, working hard for hours, and are ultimately exhausted. Your tired self looks up and who do you see sitting a couple tables away? Oh no… it’s HIM. That guy you had a thing with, who told you he was only talking to you but then was talking to other people and then was confused when you didn’t speak to him and you liked him but then you didn’t but now you still do even though you don’t speak to each other? Yep. That guy.
6) You whisper to all your friends, “look, look, there he is! What do I do?” You pull yourself together and start fixing your hair, preparing to take another look.
7) You slowly look over and….oh shoot! He saw you.
8) He waves…making the entire thing super uncomfortable.
9) And then you’re just like:
10) So now you’ve gotten pretty distracted and the only thing left to do is to go fill up your water bottle. You walk out to the lobby, minding your own business just filling up your Brita when HE walks in. You quickly plan out how you’re just going to smile and maybeee hug as he walks right towards you.
11) And then…he passes you. JUST. LIKE. THAT.
12) You round up your girls and tell them it’s time to go. NOW.
13) You get back to the safe haven that is Saint Mary’s, grab the Nutella, throw on those ugly, fuzzy PJ’s and exclaim over and over to all your Belles, “The Notre Dame library and I are never, ever getting back together. Like ever.”
THE END.
