Slow Day to Write

Today was a very slow day, here at the usual place. not many costumers were up for this type of food today and had left me alone with the ceiling art only accompanied by a few others who had probably felt that today was going to be a quiet day, and kept to themselves. There were five others including myself, three girls and two boys, all relatively the same age. We are all dressed casually and giving off a laid back vibe.

The guy to my far right is at his table with three different colored and sized books assumedly textbooks, flipping through one then the other jotting down notes as he does so. His drink is halfway through with no visible food around, probably wanting to get finished with whatever it may be he is doing. The other guy is almost directly in front, seated comfortably with a book in one hand and food in the other. He was listening to something on his earphones, presumably music seeing as how he sometimes bobbed his head. What I find strangely peculiar is how people can read a book or anything else while listening to music; you are not fully committed to one task, which can maybe just waste time. This guy was apparently reading a novel, but I was not able to tell of what sort, perhaps a classic or a homework assignment.   

Across from me was a girl very engrossed on her tablet. She appeared to be watching a movie, sometimes laughing, other times gasping in surprise. She had her tablet propped on the table with her earphones extended to her ears. Her hands were caught up with her food, doing a fine job of multitasking, between eating and watching the movie. Finally the girl to my left was propped on a sofa, having claimed it all to herself, reading a book. Using her sweater as a pillow she was curled up enjoying every single word. Not once did she tear her eyes off the pages, as she reached for her food and occasionally a sip from her cup. We were all in our own little worlds, I being the only one not closed off in my own little world but watching how the others created a world to themselves.
