Alec will go to class, not because he strictly needs to (these freshman classes offer little enough of actual value as far as he’s concerned) but because it’s a way to stave off the boredom, and because professors react better when he shows up during their office hours to argue about their research with them if he’s actually their student, and actually showed up at their class.
When he’s not there he can be found in the dining hall, picking at what anyone else might consider a half-portion of a meal or with the food long gone cold in front of him and a book taking up his attention instead.
b.
Alec had been at a party, and he’s more than a little drunk when the world starts acting strange, and he spends a moment considering that there may have been something slipped into his last drink before he decides that he needs to get out of there. People seem to be in coffins, but that’s likely a hallucination, and he needs to get where there aren’t people. The outside world is still green, and that’s not like anything Alec has had before, and that’s enough to frighten him.
And then he comes face to face with a creature. His eyes are wide in fear and disbelief and maybe even a little fascination, but he doesn’t really have the intention to run. Instead he stands still. His survival instinct isn’t what it should be.
