Study Hall -- Tuesday, October 25th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Sarah sits at the front desk occasionally glaring at the notebook and stack of papers at the far edge of the desktop. Instead of the constant scribbling she's been doing for days, she's got a deck of cards and is shuffling them over and over again out of boredom. She's horribly tempted to go out and play Texas Hold 'em with Locker 327, but she doesn't trust the fucking thing enough. Or, you know, at all.

Sydney comes in, after listening to her voice message. "You're Jonathan?" she asks, she looks like she hasn't slept in weeks and her face is a little bruised, and her eyes are red and puffy.

Yeah, that's me. Would you like to sit down? *Jonathan indicates a chair* I just wanted to see how you felt about the Ethics assignment and how you wanted to play it.

Sydney takes a seat. "Yes, I think I basically get it." Sydney says, keeping one hand on her stomach. Before she knew it, she was going to be a mom, and her child had no father, sometimes it worries Sydney.

Jonathan looks at Sydney worriedly, "You know, it's absolutely none of my business but just so you're aware, I'm a counselor here at school and if you need to talk, I'm more than happy to listen."

"Thanks, but I'm alright" Maybe if she said it enough she'd believe it. The man that she had loved was dead, and she'd barely spoken about it and her father was too busy to really deal with her, so it was hard. "I just...haven't slept much, guess being pregnant does that to you."

"Which is yet another reason why we're here. Obviously there are certain things it's ridiculous to ask you to do. We should put those on the list of things you don't want to do.

"I think it's open for discussion, I mean I don't want special treatment just because I'm pregnant. I can do anything a regular girl can do." She however, was much more than a regular girl. She went on missions all the time, even being pregnant, she was probably doing way too much.

(*Squees* I was hoping one of my characters would be able to interact with Jonathan at some point)

Well first off, let's establish a safe word. What do like?

"Uh...pomagranate." Sydney suggests, it was the first thing she had thought of.

"Hey roomie, how's" -- Angela tries not to stare at Sydney's growing belly -- "everything?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/sydney_bristow_/]

"Alright." she tells her. "I'll be okay...I just need to sleep again at some point."

[chasingangela]

"Insomnia sucks," Angela says sympathetically. "I haven't seen you in the room lately. Are you staying at your dad's place?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/sydney_bristow_/]

"No I've just been really busy." Sydney says, she can't explain why of course.

[chasingangela]

Angela nods. She's learned not to ask when Syd says she's busy. "Hope I see you soon, anyhow. Oh, and I think Min -- the cat, I left you a message about her -- has kind of decided your sweaters are her bed. I try to chase her off, but...doesn't always work."

"They don't really fit anymore, anyway."

[chasingangela]

Angela shrugs, uncomfortable. "They will next year, right?"

"Anyhow, I'm glad I ran into you."

[http://users.livejournal.com/sydney_bristow_/]

"Me too, you don't have to act different, Angela. You can say whatever to me, I'm still the same person."

[chasingangela]

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind."

[http://users.livejournal.com/sydney_bristow_/]

Sydney nods. "Sorry if I embarrassed you or something."

[chasingangela]

"Nah, don't worry about it."
