Apathy Club, Why Are All Of You Here, This Is The Dumbest Club Ever, I Hate You All, Friday

[onapalebicycle.livejournal.com]

George was going to wait until everyone was there, and then give it another five or ten minutes for good measure. Just in case maybe someone else wanted to fucking talk for once.

"Fine," she said. "Great. It's Apathy Club. I started it last fucking semester by accident, trying to get detention, and somehow instead I had to run a stupid fucking Apathy Club. Who knows how it got carried over, but here we are. So, welcome to fucking Apathy Club."

Okay, technically, she'd resubmitted the forms, but not even a gun to her head would get her to admit that one.

"Those of you who were here before, you have no excuse, and I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you for coming back. Those of you weren't, you still signed up for something called fucking Apathy Club, so I don't know what's wrong with you, either. There aren't fucking activities. We don't go on exciting trips here. Whatever the fuck you think you're getting into, it's way lamer than that, and it's your own damn fault for signing up."

She waved a hand. "I dunno. If you want to be fucking lame and introduce yourself, go ahead. I'm George, that's my introduction, and I don't give a fuck who you are."

She slumped back in her chair. "I hate this fucking club."

It was just like old times!

Squall shoved a bag (http://www.menswearhouse.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10051_10558_10601_141554_-1_10558_GRAY%20SHARK_10051_?cm_vc=40159) in Rosalind's direction. "Happy late Christmas," he told her. He hoped it was her size.

Rosalind glanced at him, even as she automatically took the bag.

"A Christmas gift?" she asked, both puzzled and bizarrely touched. It wasn't her holiday and she hadn't gotten anyone anything, but...

"If you don't want it, I can take it back," Squall told her. "I don't know. Whatever. They said I was supposed to get presents for my friends, so I did."

"N-I--Well--" She sounded like an idiot, a flustered idiot, and a small part of her that wasn't devoted to being caught off-guard by an entirely unexpected gift, despised the fact that she sounded like that.

"Thank you." Stiffly. And that was wrong, because she didn't mean to sound like that, for once.

"I--I appreciate it," she said, which sounded a bit better to her ears. "I… didn't get you anything?"

Should she have? Was that what having friends was about? Worrying about holidays that weren't even yours and trying to figure out what to buy them and what was considered proper anyway in response to something like this?

… A thank you card?

Rosalind did not tend to get many gifts, no.

Squall shrugged. "So? I don't need anything." He only got her a gift because he'd decided to, after all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have. He didn't expect anyone to get him anything.
