Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part III

[bigdamnprincipal]

Since the area with all the informational signs was bound to get a bit clogged up, even more tables and chairs had been set up on the lawn, in a slightly different spot.

"Exactly," Jennifer said. "We probably have nothing to worry about."

"Not at all. So, here's too a good summer and year ahead of us, right?"

"To a good summer," Jennifer said.

"So, uh," Chie began lamely, trying to think of something interesting to talk about. She never did think she was the greatest at this. "What brings you all the way here?"

Jennifer's expression became pained for a moment. "My dad sent me out here," she said. "For reasons I'm not sure why, yet."

"Oh, um." By that look, Chie knew she probably asked something she shouldn't have. "Sorry." After a moment of silence, she lifted the container given to her earlier by Francine and opened the top. "Cookie?" she offered. "My sib gave 'em to me, but I'm sure she won't mind if I shared a little."

"Thank you," Jennifer said. "Sorry. Just some bad stuff happened, recently. But you don't need to worry about that."

She took a cookie and gave a little smile.

"Oh..." What a huge bummer. But they'd only just met and barely knew each other, so Chie didn't think it would be right to ask much or go the extra stretch for comforting. So for now, she would just settle with some (hopefully) encouraging words; "No worries, things'll look up eventually."

Jennifer nodded. "Sorry. I know that just made this a little awkward. But thanks."

"No, don't worry! I mean, it was my fault for bringing it up anyway and--" And okay, she wasn't helping any. "... You can have as many as you'd like, by the way!"
