John longboards north down the street. To his right are the dorms. He passes Sedona, then Chaparral and a pool, next Saguara, and in his sight is his dorm, Ocotillo. Now John, that is I, knows a lot of people on campus. In fact, his friend, Jordyn made him a bet in the past that he could not walk 50 steps before somebody says high to him or he to them. John took that bet, and he lost .... 8 times in a row before he got smart and cut through the North Rim apartments and the parking lot to avoid people. People are yelling salutations from left and right and from even within the pool.
