War, school, and magical bugs.

I was in a college school attending. I had quite the course load but met the challenge. There was a war going on, just not here. It was near enough we cared and heard about it tho. It sorta permeated our lives. Outside one day I got both by a little grey disc shaped bug, apparently when it bites you if you are a sorcerer, it sucks you into it. You get trapped. I was trapped until a few minutes later some students walked by and found it, squeezed it and released me. After that I was obsessed with these little things. I wanted to figure out how they worked, see what they were for. I found out the colony of them were found after some old Halloween decorations were pulled down, a lantern and some outdoor lights. A pipe broke and the little bugs poured out of it. A student kept a tank full of them in his dorm room. I kinda wanted too as well but I didn't want to turn into a bug aficionado. While I was bug obsessed I was also visiting a guidance counselor who recommended I see a guy about some art class. I ended up following his advice and the teacher and I hit it off, he decided he wanted me to sew oven mitt type things for the war. I dithered over accepting full out, even though I was kinda flattered he picked me, I felt I hadn't really done that much. That guidance counselor had used magick to sew the oven mitt, and it had already had been cut and layed out to get pieced together. I hadn't done anything actually. I waited around to leave but he wouldn't let me we just kept working, it was dark and I worried about walking home in the dark. I sorta hinted hoping the teacher would get it in his head to offer me a ride home, so I would be safe, but he was too caught up in his work to notice my worry. I was too polite to really interrupt him.
