When Quinn took the decision to return to Bellefonte for his college years, he didn't really think about what that would mean. The people he used to be in school with might not be there anymore. And if they were, they all were years ahead of him. It didn't matter that people of all age could go to college, being the oldest one in his class sort of sucked. It was the reason why he was not bonding much with them. Nothing to do with the fact he had never been really social to begin with.
The school was familiar but there was also so many things that were not. The people mainly. So many of those he knew before, without saying they knew him, were not here anymore. They lived in town or moved away. They were living their lives. Some were finishing college. He was starting it. With a bunch of people he barely knew. You’d think it was perfect, that it would allow him a fresh start, away from his reputation of being a creep with a camera. But changes, especially changes he did not choose for himself, were very hard on him. And, again, he felt old and like he didn’t belong. As if the boy didn’t have enough reasons not to feel like he belonged.
Maybe it was just the fact he picked a major that seemed unlike him. Communications. Him! But it seemed like a good idea. That was what he lacked after all. And he was still taking a minor in photography. Now, if only he could make some friends...
He liked to think it was unnecessary but even a loner like himself felt lonely at times and it was not Erin who’d help him feel better. He needed more acquaintances, some he might meet here at school. Some... Wait. Could this be...
Quinn had been thinking all of this while waiting in line for his meal and after paying he of course had to find some spot to sit at and eat said meal. He was trying to find some quiet spot when he recognized a face. At least he was certain he recognized her. Ashley Benson . Of course, she might not recognize him. He never considered himself very memorable. It was worth a try though. He walked towards her, noticing she was rather alone in her corner. But if she was like he remembered her, it made sense. “Ashley?” It was almost a miracle he recalled her name after two years. Or not. Quinn was good at remembering that sort of things. “You’re still at school? College?” Talking was rather weird to him. Standing in front of her with his tray of food too but he dared not sit. That would be awkward if she could not recognize him and he just decided to sit down and eat with her.
