Socialize Hall

It is a sunny, but late afternoon and the athletes seem to be coming here from every which way. They all meet in these rooms with white walls full of desks and computers where they are supposed to fulfill their hours of "study." It is "study" because in reality they are hours of pure socialization and gossip.

The staff in charge of these meetings of study merely clock athletes in and out based on the amount of time they think they have been doing school work. Backpack sits there and smiles as she takes your student id and you enter the realm of student-athletes.

There are two types of rooms used for the two different types of people. The single rooms, used by the minority of kids who are actually using the building for its purpose of getting work done. And the other general studying rooms, where you will find a small number of people doing work while the rest will just sit there and talk amongst each other.

Single room number one. Quiet, peaceful, and serene place of study. One would only be able to hear the thoughts of Bio Book studying in there. General room number one. Filled with at least 7 student-athletes some from the same and different sports teams. Although there is a "No food or drink allowed" sign back in the front where Backpack sat, apparently some of the students didn't get the memo. Subway content with what he's eaten offers everyone else his left over barbeque Lays chips. Gummy worms attempts to secretly eat all of her healthy but delicious snacks. While Sweet Tea comes in with a full meal ready to grub on whatever he got from the local deli. For athletes, they sure do know how to eat snacks with good nutritional value.

A good 45 minutes has passed and the athletes of general room number one keep going back and forth on which team has the hardest workouts. Girl star 1 insists that Guy star 1 doesn't even know what a hard workout unless he was to try and complete one of her teams workouts. Guy star 1 refuses to believe that the girls team works any harder than his team. And the argument never ceases. The other athletes of general room number one are too busy being involved with the art of storytelling to even notice Guy star 1 and Girl star 1's little disagreement. These stories get crazier and crazier by the second because someone is always trying to one up the other persons stories. By this time Subway has left the room to find peace and quiet in single room number two because in the past 2 hours not a pen or pencil has been used for writing or a keyboard for typing, only the chatter of student-athletes filled the room in this socialize hall.

Backpack gives you back your student id, clocks you out, tell you how my hours you've put in "studying," and smiles and tell you "See ya next time!"
