Aoife wasn’t looking forward to studying. She was dreading it. For some reason Aoife found studying almost impossible. No matter how hard she tried she always got distracted by something or another and so it was with this pessimistic attitude that Aoife entered the Study hall that day. Her long hair was not in a ponytail for once and fell down her back in neat red ringlets. She listened to the librarian talk and by the end of her speech Aoife was less than inspired.

She could tell from the looks on the faces of the students surrounding her that very few actually intended to do much studying. Part of Aoife wanted to give up and join them but she couldn’t not without trying. So she headed over to a table far away from the scary librarian and slide onto a chair. She was just pulling out some parchment and setting it neatly on the table in a bid to look busy when she heard someone at her table speak up. It was Oliver.

”Want to go study outside?”

Aoife remembered how nice it had looked outside today and had to admit the offer was tempting. Before she could say anything an older student who, was oddly enough wearing a hat. She introduced herself as Lyubov Kovalchuk. Aoife had a feeling that it would be hard to pronounce. Seeing as everyone else was going outside Aoife decided she may as well too. Even if there would be more distractions outside…

“I’ll go outside too; after all it is a lovely day!” She piped up from a corner. Only after she had spoken did it occur to Aoife that she really ought to have been much much quieter. She offered the others a sheepish smile and picked up her parchment.
