Max had been sitting in the back of his Intro to Art History lecture, halfway listening as the professor droned on about Renaissance architecture. His sketchbook was open on his lap, as he was doodling a bunch of cartoon characters. Around him, other students were either taking notes or scrolling on their phones, but Max’s focus was not on the lecture. He understood the importance of history, but would rather be doing actual artwork than listening to someone yap about it.

He paused mid-sketch, sipping from his thermos of hot chocolate, when his phone vibrated on the desk. Curious, he flipped it over, unlocking it with a quick swipe to reveal a string of texts from Erin in their group chat.

Max immediately texted back

He glanced back up at the professor, who was still rambling about flying buttresses. He couldn’t help giggling like a child. That name would never not be funny. This earned him a glare from other students. Undeterred, he shot another quick text.

Tucking his phone back into his pocket, Max returned to his sketchbook. He added a pair of cartoon wings to one of his doodles. Max’s thoughts wandered to the idea of dream jumping. It sounded too good to be true, but Max was intrigued. [color=92278f][i]Dream Jumping definitely beats this lecture.[/i][/color]
