Note: I will be using a couple characters from the popular webcomic Twokinds and some anthropomorphic animals since I'm not a creative man when it comes to creating storylines. Other than that, I hope you enjoy this (mostly) original story!
Later, Roselyn had survived her first day teaching college. For sure, she was exhausted and could use some time off, but besides, it's was only one day of teaching one class.
As she finished some work, she checked the clock on the wall. It was around six o'clock. Deciding it was time to go, she was about to get up when she heard the front door open.
Roselyn saw Diana come in, and at first contact they both smiled at each other. "Hey." Roselyn greeted.
"Hey," Diana replied. "How was your first day here?"
"Not too bad, just exhausting. Took a lot out from me." Roselyn answered.
Diana nodded, relating with her, saying. "You'll get used to it. I've done this for three years now, and I can promise you it'll get a lot worse from here."
Both laughed a little bit by that comment. Diana then asked, "So, are you going to that local bar everyone's been talking about?"
Roselyn had a blank stare at first, not knowing what she's talking about. She remembered as her face lit up with familiarity, replying, "Oh right! I forgot about that. You see, I uh…."
"You basically forgot didn't you? And when you forgot, you would end up thinking that there is no party," Diana cut off. "You thinking that there is no party means that you want to not interact with people you aren't familiar with since you're still shy and nervous around anyone. Am I correct?"
Roselyn having a shocked look on her face, nodded. She knew that Diana was somehow correct. Yet, she was surprised that the same person who known her for at least a week, knew what Rose's intentions were.
Diana continued, "I mean, come on! I knew people like you having that same mindset and ended up not that socially active! Besides, it wouldn't hurt getting to get you more better."
Diana had that voice of genuine curiosity, and just wanted to talk to people, anyone in fact. Someone could definitely tell that she had more experience in socializing with many people of all backgrounds. Roselyn, for sure, was more introverted than Diana. With a sigh, she responded, "I guess so. I came here by train so I don't have a ride…"
"That's fine," Diana said. "I can drive you. It's not too far from here so don't worry."
Roselyn, with a smile, then replied, "Thanks."
Fifteen minutes later, both tired women entered front door, with the bell ringing, signifying who just arrived. Their fellow professors stopped their drinking and conversations. All of their eyes focused on the two and almost immediately cheered and welcomed them with open arms, lifted arms with beers in their hands, and warm smiles.
Both of the women replied back by waving and saying a quick hello. Before the red-haired wolf could start any conversations with anyone really, she first saw Zen. He seemed to be talking and sitting down to a couple of his friends and acquaintances.
Roselyn went up to the brown wolf, and tapped on his shoulders. When he turned around and made eye contact with her, she first said, "Um, hi. Your name's Zen?"
"Oh you're right," Zen responded, seemingly to recognize her, "And you're Roselyn! Sorry if I got your name incorrect.
"I uh, was busy talking and catching up with some friends. So this is uh… Zach, Amber, Jose, and Dean."
As Zen pointed at his friends, they all greeted her with quick hello, smiles, and Zach was the first one who shook hands with her.
"Oh yeah, I forgot! This my brother, Natani." Zen continued, pointing to his brother.
Natani had a more lighter brown fur and hair than Zen. His hair was long enough to be confused as a girl, as some drunken men and a lady interesting enough tried to hit on him.
"Oh, uh, hi! Nice to meet you, Roselyn." Natani greeted, as he stuck out his hand.
"Nice to meet you," Roselyn replied, shaking his hand, "What do you work as?"
"Detective, working for the police. It's a hard job, you know, finding all the clues together and stuff like that." Natani responded.
Roselyn didn't respond for the first few seconds, looking at Natani's shirt, which is somewhat covered by his hoodie. Her face lit up with excitement, as she almost screamed, "Oh my goodness! Is that an American Horror Story shirt?"
Natani, at first in confusion, looked down at his shirt which said "Normal People Scare Me." He, then in surprise, replied, "Oh yeah! It is! I'm a bit of a nerd when you get to know me better! You watch that show?"
"Yep! I'm a huge fan of that show! By far, the best show I've seen!" Roselyn responded.
Amber, the one with red-brownish hair, said back, "Really? What about Game of Thrones?"
"I don't think so," Roselyn responded, "It's too boring for."
Her comment sparked a debate about the best show in recent television history, with the people that were with Zen and Natani, along those who overheard. The debate then followed into a group conversation about their own lives, and favorite memories.
