When Lee left Panda Express and crossed the campus, he didn't expect to hear music along the way. It echoed between USFC buildings and hummed down the side streets Lee took to avoid student traffic. He shoveled lo mein in his mouth as he went in between texting Roland, laughing to himself and almost choking in the middle of the street.

He coughed into his elbow and laughed again. He turned the corner to the quad steps, looking up from his phone just long enough to realize that shit, if Sigma Alpha hadn't completely taken over the quad or what?

From Lee's high ground, he overlooked the quad space. It was a grassy knoll area between USFC buildings and filled with tall, colorful trees. Cherry blossoms and crab apple trees were in bloom and their white and pink petals fluttered across the grass and between the stripes of hammocks strung between the trees. It smelled like a barbecue and Lee realized that those idiots were really cooking out in the middle of campus and throwing a Hammock Jamboree.
