Yearbook Meeting

WELCOME TO THE FANDOM HIGH YEARBOOK
Please help yourself to some coffee, and have a seat. Your editor-in-chief will meet with you personally to discuss why you want to be on yearbook, and specifically what department/position you might be interested in.

Please be patient, and keep things down, as said EIC has suffered a head injury recently, and is recovering.

Thank you.

Rory sits on a table, watching people come in. She has a cup of coffee, though it's significantly larger than the ones on the table, and keeps absently touching the bandage on her forehead.

Allie recognizes Logan's brush off, but is determined to get to the bottom of this. She shares a house with this guy and is going on a date with him Friday.

"What exactly happened during this class assignment, Logan?"

"He kissed me," Rory says to Allie, not taking her focus off of Huntzberger.

Allie is stunned.

"Wait. Are you two dating? Because he asked me to homecoming and I assumed he was available."

She is stumbling over her words because she is completely confused.

"No, we're not. That's the point," Rory replies tersely. "Nice how he did that, huh?"

"No, I don't measure up to her standards, being scum of the earth and all. And this happened in class, before I even asked you to the dance."

Logan finally turns to look at Allie and lowers his voice. "Not that that makes it right."

Allie furrows her brows. Logan seems sincere and she has the vague feeling that Rory isn't being completely honest.

"Logan, you're one of the nicest guys I've met here. How can she think you're scum?"

"I never said that," Rory interjects, frustrated. "I just didn't expect or appreciate his advances."

Allie thinks about this for a moment.

"Well, couldn't you have just backed away from him?"

"Yes, but the point of the assignment was to communicate in spite of our discomfort. To back away would be to admit defeat," Rory says, her tone slightly less fierce.

Allie shrugs.

"So he didn't force you then?"

"He didn't...rape my mouth or anything," Rory says, scrunching her face at the phrasing. "But he crossed the line. Even the teacher agreed with that."

"Did you kiss him back?"

"No," Rory says immediately. "I pulled away from the kiss, and told him I was dating someone else."

Regaining some of his good humor, Logan grins at Allie and relaxes a bit. He puts a hand on her shoulder and leans forward to whisper in her ear.

"Well, just between you and me, I think she's a little crazy. And the boyfriend too."

He squeezes her shoulder gently.

Allie feels her cheeks get warm and she smiles at Logan. After the display she just witnessed, she's inclined to agree with him. She nods to indicate this, not wanting to say anything that might be overheard by the others.

Huntzberger is still glaring at Rory

"That was one step among many in one of Professor Cregg's stupid trust games, and 'it takes two to tango' if you know what I mean."

Allie realizes she missed something big in class during her visit home.

"So how exactly is kissing a total stranger part of a trust game in class?" Her voice has an edge to it that surprises her.

Huntzberger is getting irritated at being attacked from all sides now.

"Cregg wanted us to partner up, share personal details, get as physically close to our partner as we could, and hold the physical closeness for as long as we could stay comfortable. I'm still not quite sure what she was going for, but it didn't work on multiple levels."

Allie sighs.

"Well, I still don't quite understand how that led to you two kissing, but what's done is done."

She leans closer to Logan and whispers, "Did you apologize?"

"Yes, I did. And you're a doll for taking this so well. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. On that note, I'm going to split - I don't need this kind of drama every week. I'll see you at the house, okay?"

"Actually, if you don't mind, I think I'll walk back with you," she says, grabbing her bag.

She lowers her voice. "I don't think I'd be comfortable working with those people."

"Are you sure? You're welcome to stay - I won't be hurt or anything." Logan grins.

She glances over her shoulder at Rory and the other boy, apparently her boyfriend, and turns back to Logan.

"Yeah, I'm sure," she says. "I really only stopped by because I saw you there," she admits without thinking.

[ooc: i'm going to bed soon, so we'll have to forgo the actual walk]

Logan smiles and offers Allie his arm. "To the house, then, and greener pastures ahead."

[ooc: I'm going to bed right now, actually, so that's no problem.]

Allie takes his arm with a shy smile and they leave.
