the bearded elevator boy and a silent conversation.

here is the unspoken dialogue between me and the bearded elevator boy.

boy:  (appears to have been waiting for the elevator to reach the 5th floor of the library for quite some time now)

me:  (approaches elevator, proceeds to wait with boy.)

-2 minutes later-

-still waiting-

boy:  *sigh*

me:  (uncomfortable, yet understanding smile)  maybe i should just take the stairs.

-1 minute passes-

me:  (ignoring the stairs idea.  continues to wait, hoping that boy will calm down.)

elevator:  *ding*  going down.

-boy and i enter the elevator-

boy:  (presses 1* button.)

me:  (presses nothing.)

boy:  finallly!

me:  (nod.)

elevator:  *ding* 4th floor...going down.

boy:  *sigh* OF COURSE! (frustrated laughter.)

me:  (roll eyes.  trying to match boy's anger as to make him feel more comfortable.)

-2 janitors and an extremely tall boy with a UFO hoodie (you:  what the heck is a UFO hoodie?) enter-

elevator:  *ding* 3rd floor...going down.

-small girl with read hair enters and presses the 2 button-

me:  (glance at boy whose impatience might be the cause of his mental breakdown, here between the 3rd and 2nd floor of the uvu library elevator.)

boy:  (crinkles nose and death glares toward innocent ginger.)

elevator:  *ding* second floor...going down.

-girl with black and blond hair enters.  silly boy enters behind her-

silly boy:  is this going up?

-nobody answers-

-silly boy exits the elevator just as the doors are about to shut-

boy:  really?!

me:  (dedicated stare into the abyss)

elevator:  *ding* first floor...going up.

-everyone exits-

me:  (finally away from the most impatient bearded boy of all time)

boy:  so...midterms.

me:  yeah.  no time to wait for the elevator but time to chat about midterms...okay.

boy: i'll be done soon.

me:  that's good!

boy:  yeah.  well...see ya.

me:  bye.

moral:  take the stairs.  it's good for you in more ways than one.
