fandomhigh | Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

With all the rain the island had seen during the week, everyone had been hoping for a sudden turn to nice weather for the welcome picnic. But as the crew from the school started to set up for the picnic, the sky got darker and darker, and by the time everything was ready, it had started to steadily rain. As tempting as it was to move everything inside, there just wasn't anywhere in the school for so many people to gather at once, and since it was still comfortably warm outside, extra measures were taken to ensure that the picnic could go on as scheduled. Tents were set up to cover the information tables, the food, and most of the tables and chairs, and umbrellas had been gathered, ready for use by anyone who wanted more personal protection against the weather. It didn't look like the rain would be letting up any time soon.

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Give it time. You'll probably get caught up in someone else's secret. I'm kidding," he added. "High school drama, you know how it goes."

"Oh, do I ever," Miley agreed, slightly more emphatically than the comment really called for. But over the course of her four years in Malibu, she'd gotten more people tangled up in her secret than horses at a rodeo.

"So," she said, swinging the topic around to something a little less potentially lethal. "What was that about everything being crazy?"

"Everything here is crazy," Jack said. Oh yes, he was being specific.

"So, like, are you crazy?" she nagged him. "Am I crazy?"

"I'm possibly the only sane person here. You might be crazy."

"Hey!" she protested. "I am definitely not crazy."

Although...

"I might have some quirks," she granted. "But they are endearing and uniquely charming."

"I'll look forward to getting to find out all about those. So we've established that I'm not crazy and you're not crazy. Here's the thing. All of the weird things from TV and movies are real."

And cue the point where Jack expected her to walk away.

Oh, Miley never just walked away. She just, you know, uttered a catchphrase.

"Mega-cute new Jackson say what?"

"Mega-cute?" He asked, sounding pleased, but then shook his head. "I'm getting off topic. Vampires, werewolves, people who actually like going to class. All real."

Vampires? Werewolves? People who liked school? No way, no way, and definitely no way.

"Are you sure?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. She couldn't just tell the cute guy he was crazy, of course. This kind of thing required finesse.

"I'm your school-appointed sibling. There are plenty of things I would lie about to make you look mildly stupid all in good fun. This isn't one of them."

Okay, so she could accept that, and maybe he just had one of those trustable faces.

"Okay," she said hesitantly, "so there are vampires at this school? Like, as students? Should I be concerned?"

[[Aaaaand I go to sleep now. SP tomorrow?]]

"I pretend I don't think about it. It makes life easier. I'm not concerned. It's not like anybody gets bitten."

"Well, that's a relief," Miley said, though there was a tiiiny bit of sarcasm in there. "So there's vampires, but not the evil kind?"

"You'd probably have to ask them if they were evil."

"...Got it," Miley said. That was not very helpful, Jack. Fortunately the cuteness impeded her ability to mind. "So... would that have anything to do with the freshman on the bus who had some kinda superspeed deal?"

"He could be a vampire," Jack guessed. "Or he could be one of the kids with superpowers. Or one of the alien ones." He was testing to see how she was holding up.
