BWI Portalocity Terminal [Saturday Morning]

Emma had flown with Angelica from Logan Airport in Boston to Baltimore so she wouldn't have to make the entire trip alone, and Angelica was grateful for that. But after a hug goodbye when the time came for Emma's flight back to Massachusetts, Angelica was alone in the lounge, waiting for the bus to Fandom High. She buried her face in a book and tried not to be too nervous about changing schools, counting out the positives. She might make new friends. Empath and Roulette wouldn't be there. She might accidentally fry someone with her microwave powers.

Oooookay, that last one wasn't too positive.

Simon was standing a little further away from the main crowd, bag in hand, watching everyone else but making sure not to stare at anyone, even as he wondered whether they'd all been affected by a storm like he had, and what they could possibly do.

He straightened the collar of his shirt and tried not to look quite as nervous as he was feeling. He wasn't very successful.

"It can't be that bad," Jocelyn said softly as she glanced at the boy. Anyone who looked quite that nervous couldn't possibly be a threat, and his obvious nerves had heart going out to him - mundie or not.

Simon looked startled to be addressed. And then a bit embarrassed for having looked startled.

Things were clearly off to a great start for him. "It's, it's not bad," he said with a brief shake of his head. "It's just... new."

"Yeah," she agreed, just a little note of bitterness catching her voice there. "And aren't we lucky for it?"

Simon actually had considered this a lucky break for himself. But then, he knew his situation was probably different from most other people's.

He frowned a bit, anyway. "Did you not want to come here?"

Jocelyn shrugged. "Not really." Understatement, that. If it hadn't been for Shadowhunter discipline, she'd've thrown a megafit at her parents when they told her. "I liked my old school fine." She glanced over at him, more curious than she'd expected about a mundie. "You English?"

Simon's lips quirked into something of a faint, fleeting smile, although it was still rather a nervous one. "Yes," he nodded. "From London."

And he suspected that question was going to be coming up quite a lot now that he was here.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

The smile was returned with interest. "I love London. I used to hope my dad would be posted there, but he never did so it's just been trips to the Institute there."

He'd been meaning to argue (mildly) that London wasn't all around quite all that, since he was from Thamesmead which was not most people's favourite part of the city, but there was something else in what she'd said that caught his interest.

"What institute?"
hurtingzeebo: (I have fat cakes)

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

Sam threw her empty fat cake wrapper at Simon's head. You know, 'cause he was there.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[identity profile] forhisfriends.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
And Simon was completely surprised by that, because, you know, how was anyone supposed to expect having things thrown at them while just standing there?

The wrapper startled him as it barely touched his cheek before falling on the floor. And he turned to just stare at the girl who'd thrown it, completely taken aback.

Sam noticed the stare and tried to appear innocent.

She wasn't very good at that.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[identity profile] forhisfriends.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
No, she really wasn't. "Why did you throw that at me?" Simon asked, going from staring to frowning, albeit still looking a little like he hadn't even quite grasped what had happened.
hurtingzeebo: (I'm thinking)

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[personal profile] hurtingzeebo 2011-05-06 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Sam glanced away. "'Cause it was funny?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[identity profile] forhisfriends.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Simon blinked. Then he blinked again.

"That wasn't funny."

"It was to me," said Sam. And really, wasn't that what was important?

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

That shut Simon up for a moment, if only because he was now considering the dawning possibility that he might have just ended up with another bully in his life. And he'd been here for all of ten or fifteen minutes.

He smoothed his hair over his forehead. "It wasn't to me." It was quite clear he thought that mattered too, yes.

Nervous kid was nervous! Clearly that meant he needed caffeine.

"Hey!" Marshall greeted him. "Want anything at Starbucks?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[identity profile] forhisfriends.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
At least this time Simon didn't jump. And nothing had been thrown at him. Progress. Still, he gave the other boy a somewhat surprised look. "N-no, thank you?"

That had not been meant as a question. Nervous kid was, indeed, nervous.

"Was that a question?" Marshall asked, trying to smile non-threateningly. (And relatively succeeding; Marshall wasn't exactly a threatening kinda guy.) "I mean, no pressure, but you sounded like I could maybe convince you."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[identity profile] forhisfriends.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do they have tea?" Simon ventured. Apparently feeling all English all of a sudden. It was probably being surrounded by things that weren't. "I could... have some tea."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[identity profile] wheeler-360.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think Starbucks tries to lay claim to every known hot drink on the planet," Marshall suggested, "so I bet they can manage tea. Any particular kind?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[identity profile] forhisfriends.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just Earl Grey," Simon replied with a quick nod, adjusting his collar even though it was perfect to begin with. "Thank you."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[identity profile] wheeler-360.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure!" Marshall jotted it down. And, okay, Marshall hadn't planned on buying everyone's drinks, but nervous guy kinda brought it out in him. "I'll be back with it soon."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle! [5/7/11]

[identity profile] forhisfriends.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
And Simon was probably going to at least attempt paying for his tea once he came back, anyway. "I'll be... here," he replied, with a slightly embarrassed hint of a smile.
