fandomhigh | Glitter [Thursday, third period]

Today, Rory was having the class meet in a rather unusual place: outside room 213.

"Hey, everyone," she said, waving. "Welcome to my humble abode. We're a small enough class, and I've fit more people in here -- not dirty -- so we should be okay to all work in here. You're going to decorate my dorm room!"

Because this totally couldn't go wrong.

"My dog is sleeping in the bathroom, so he shouldn't bother anyone," she explained, opening the door to reveal a standard dorm room setup of desk, chair, bed and nightstand. At least, that's what one could figure was under the dropcloths. "We have glitter, paint, stencils, glitter-glue...oh, and I have things for you guys to wear over your clothes so nothing gets messed up."

"So everyone pick an area -- wall, or like...windowsill or ceiling or whatever -- and decorate it. I don't want to see anyone wasting paint or messing up my room for the hell of it, okay? Try to work like I hired you guys to actually design. I want you all to get the hang of this, because next week is our final, and I want you all to be ready for it."

Luke snorted. "Go Rikku."

Luke was a little weird.

Jude looked dorky. "She's awesome."

Luke grinned at him. "Yeah, she is."

"It's our four-month anniversary this weekend," he grinned.

"What kind of big plans do you have?" Luke asked, grinning back.

"Totally gonna do the whole fancy dinner thing. It's gonna be awesome."

"Ooooh," Luke said, impressed. "I'm kind of new to the dating thing. Any suggestions?"

"First? Observation." Jude lifted a mellow, Zen, explainy kind of finger. "Listen and watch. If something works, do it again but do it better."

Luke felt like he should be taking notes, but he just nodded attentively instead. "Got it. Be interested in what she's interested in, too, right?"

"Yeah - well, not totally. Even if you're not into it, at least listen when she talks about it. Be supportive and all that."

"Nodding off is bad," Luke agreed with a smile.

Jude chuckled sheepishly. "I, uh, I'm probably not the best dude for dating tips, though."

"Why?" Luke asked curiously.

"Rikku's . . . it's the first time things are really working out. I totally got a bad streak of exes."

Luke shrugged. "My track record's worse," he said. "It's a series of totally inappropriate crushes, one of whom turned out to be related to me. I totally, totally didn't know that at the time, though."

Jude wrinkled up his nose. "Dude. Ew."

"I didn't know," Luke ~~whined~~ whined.

"Dude."

"I'm going to shut up now," Luke muttered, red to his ears.

Luke flailed. "My family's a screwed-up soap opera!"

"I know," Luke told his feet, "but my father's a moper and my sister's dating a pirate and I'm stuck here with a droid who mocks me and I got bit by a gremlin and bounced a quarter off someone's ass and thought I was a gay German magician and it's amazing my brain hasn't leaped from my ears, you know?"

Luke Skywalker, King of the land of Overshare.

"...yeah," Luke said, blushing more. "I'm a mess."
