Deep Thoughts Meeting (5:30pm FST)

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin, a strange doll tucked under his arm, propped the door to the music room open in preparation for the meeting of the Pouting Brooders Deep Thoughts Club.

He pulled a book out of his robes, flipped to a page he had marked, and wrote on the board:

Deep Thought for the Week:

"I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it."--Jack Handey.

He put two pieces of paper out on the desk--one for students to sign in on, another for them to help staff the club table for the fair--snagged a Twinkie out of the desk drawer, and waited for the club members (and anyone else who's feeling especially deep) to show up.

Angela swallows a laugh. "Annie. That's, um ... better than Jayne, anyhow. And that's his real name. I promise not to ask you to sing besides, I already bought "Little Bunny Foo Foo"."

Anakin felt the amusement rolling off of her in waves but was gratified that she didn't actually laugh. "That's true," he said, brightening. "And thank you for not asking for a song. I'm never, ever, ever going to live that down, am I?"

"No problem and no, you never will. So did we just, like, Deep Thought each other into acceptable moods? Because that's sort of not the point of this club." Angela props her chin on her fists. "We need to brood more."

"Yeah, that was weird." Anakin went back to staring at his boots. "Broody things. Okay. I'm totally creeped out by my religion class, the master/slave thing makes the hair on the back of my neck rise, and I'm not sure I've actually made any friends in my time here." He stuck his lower lip out. "And you?"

"Broody things? Okay." Angela matches Anakin's pout. "Also creeped out by the master/slave thing, I keep fighting with Marty but I think I'm still kind of in love with him, my roommate is pregnant and keeps coming home covered with bruises -- when she even shows up -- my friend Zero is in Locker 327, I'm barely passing Geology, and I'm fairly convinced I'm going to get killed or driven completely insane one way or the other by Christmas break. And I'm trying to soul a very evil vampire in spite of my utter lack of experience or competence with magic. Because I am an idiot."

"You win." Anakin said. "Screwed up feelings about exes, violence and Locker 327 beats everything I've got."

"Yay," Angela says, not sounding especially proud of the victory. "And ... if you really want a friend? I'm here. I mean, if it's okay I'm a girl, and from earth, and don't understand the whole spaceship thing." She is blushing.

Anakin also blushed. "I'll take you up on that if we survive the weekend," he replied. "And thank you," he said quietly.

"It's nothing. Call me if we get through the weekend," Angela says, before fleeing the classroom.
