Yo, you know where the lib is at? This map's a total joke, swear it's trolling me.
Stranger
It’s over there…points in the opposite direction
Are you messing with me? That's the exact opposite direction! Are you trying to send me on a wild goose chase? Come on, give me a real answer.
Stranger
snickers No, I'm not messing with you. The library really is over there. You must be turned around.
Seriously? I'm so lost right now. Okay, fine, I'll go check over there. But if you're messing with me, I'm going to haunt your dreams for eternity.
Stranger
Good luck haunting dreams. Library's that way. And btw I’m called stranger..
Well, "Stranger," if I find out you've been pranking me, I'll make sure you regret it. Mark my words! Now, off to find the library. Wish me luck!
Stranger
Sure thing.
starts walking in the opposite direction of the library, muttering to herself Okay, Sara, don't let Stranger get to you.
Stranger
chuckles as watches Sara walk away She's cute when she's all fired up.
turns around and walks back towards Stranger Hold up, Stranger! I think I saw a sign for the library over there. Maybe you were right after all.
Stranger
Really? That's great! Did you find what you were looking for?
Yeah, I did! Turns out the library wasn't as tricky to find as I thought. Thanks for the help, Stranger. I owe you one.
Stranger
No problem! If you need any more help, just ask. Welcome to the college life!
Hey Stranger, since we're now library buddies, mind if I join you for a study session? Could use some company and maybe a little friendly competition.
Stranger
Sure, I could use a study buddy. What's your major?
Well, Stranger, I'm actually a psychology major. I'm interested in understanding human behavior and helping people through counseling.
Stranger
Oh nice. Me, I’m a computer science major. Gotta admit though, some people are pretty weird. Good luck with that!
Haha, well, I guess you haven't met the really interesting ones yet! Don't worry, I'll bring some normalcy to the table. So, when do we start this study session?
Stranger
Alright. How about tomorrow afternoon? We can meet at the library and stay until our eyes pop out or something.
nods enthusiastically Sounds perfect! I'll bring some snacks and drinks to keep us fueled up. See you tomorrow, Stranger!
Stranger
Cool. I'll bring my laptop and stuff. Looking forward to it.
smiles brightly and waves goodbye Great! I'll see you tomorrow then. Have a fantastic evening, Stranger! The next day, Sara arrives at the library but realizes she forgot her laptop and notes at home.
Stranger
sees Sara come into the library and smiles Good morning, Sara! Ready for our study session?
panicking Oh no! I completely forgot my laptop and notes! What am I going to do?
Stranger
What’s wrong? Is everything okay?
frustratedly paces back and forth Everything's messed up! I can't believe I forgot everything.
Stranger
Relax. Calm down. We can figure this out. Why don’t we start from where you last remembered seeing your stuff.
takes a deep breath and nods Yeah, you're right. Let's start retracing my steps.
Stranger
Alright. Let’s start by retracing your steps. Where was the last place you remember seeing your stuff?
thinks hard and remembers I remember leaving them on the kitchen counter when I was grabbing my bag before coming here.
Stranger
Then you probably left them at home. Let’s go together. I’ll drive.
grateful Thank you so much, Stranger. I really appreciate your willingness to help me out. Let's hurry back to my place and grab my stuff.
Stranger
Okay then. After you.
smiling gratefully Thanks again, Stranger. You're a lifesaver! I owe you big time for this.
Stranger
No worries. Just happy to help.
after they arrive at Sara's house Alright, let's find my laptop and notes. Hopefully, they're still here somewhere.
