Bab 742: College Life

A speeding ticket and ten bucks later, Courtney was walking out of her favorite smoothie shop with a cup the size of her head and two phone numbers. 

Though her alternative aesthetic did sometimes have a tendency to put people off, it's also true that it made her a bit popular too. 

There was really no in between. 

She got the most attention from quiet, bookish women / men, gym bros, otakus of every variety, men with criminal backgrounds, women with a history of manipulation, and the occasional wannabe internet influencer... 

She didn't have a fair idea as to why, but those inconveniences were kind of just out of her control at this point. 

At least she wasn't being hounded by anyone way outside of her age. She had to take that as a win. 

There was a park just across the street from the smoothie shop that Courtney visited. She decided to go and sit alone at a picnic table for a while instead of just heading back to her dorm.
