Arts & Crafts [Period 1, 6/1]

Sophie was burying her yawns in a cup of coffee as she greeted the class. "Good morning, I'm Sophie Devereaux. I'm substituting for Mr. Rogers this week; he had an out-of-town emergency. He's left me instructions on how you can all make lanyards, though, as well as key chains, if you prefer. Have fun with the beads and cords, and, well. I can't really answer any questions. I'm a fan of art, not an artist. Have at it!"

[ocd up!]

"Which are you going for?" Angela asked, looking at what the other girl was doing. She was still in the process of picking out a colour scheme for hers. It was important!

"The lanyard," Jennifer said. She had rather swiftly chosen purple and green lace, herself. "Don't really have enough keys to warrant a key chain."

"I don't really know what I'd do with a lanyard," Angela admitted, pulling out a few shades of pink to plait together. "And I really only have the key to my room."

"I think I'll..." Jennifer trailed off. "I might send it home. Father's Day present, I guess."

"Always an idea," Angela agreed, considering that herself. "That's soon, right?" Honestly, she couldn't remember an exact date. Her dad usually wasn't around for that sort of thing anyway.

"Soon," Jennifer said. "And I have a lot to make sure he knows I'm grateful for."

Angela nodded, smiling a little at that. Sounded like a nice relationship they had.

She looked at the colours she'd picked out. "Yeah, I think I won't be sending mine to my dad." She just couldn't see pink going with his image.

Sadly, it was more sort of Jennifer's current idealism than the actual realities of the situation.

Jennifer chuckled at Angela's comment. "He's not a big fan of pink?"

"I just don't see it suiting him," she said with a bit of a laugh of her own.

She smiled thoughtfully. Maybe give it to Hannibal... He'd hate the pink, but might keep it purely because she made it for him. You never knew.

"Pink is more my choice."

"Yeah, I don't think purple would be my dad's choice, either," Jennifer said. "I'm Jennifer, by the way."

"Angela," she told her in return. "Hi."

"And I'm sure if you give it to him, he'll like it anyway. Dad's are usually great like that."

"True," Jennifer said. "So, where are you from, Angela?" Small talk while doing the work seemed a great idea.

"Lately, DC," she replied easily, tying her ribbon together. "Ninety four." Because that helped around here. "You?

"LA," Jennifer said. "Seventy-two. But I'm getting better at things."

"You're new?" Angela guessed. "It'll get easier. I know, I had a pretty small gap compared to that, but... It did for me."

Jennifer nodded. "I'm not so worried, anymore. It just means I have to work extra hard, and I'm prepared to do that."

"I mean, at least you're not here from another planet, or something," she said as she threaded a bead onto her keychain.

That had to be worse.

"Yeah, that is a very good point," Jennifer said. "But so far, I really don't have any complaints. I really like it here."

"I was supposed to be staying for a summer... I've been here about a year now." Which kind of spoke for how much she liked it here.

Jennifer smiled. "That's a good sign. I don't know how long I'm supposed to be here."

"You didn't get any indication?" she asked. "Or, were you one of those who just kind of appeared without actually knowing you were coming?" she asked.

"My dad just sort of sent me here," Jennifer said. "With no real forewarning."
