Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

In order to give people a place to get away from the traffic jam of the buffet and information tables, most of the chairs and tables for guests were set up further out on the lawn, under a tall blue and gold tent. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves, but it might not have all been dry. Did we mention being grateful that it was just water falling from the sky?

[OCD is up! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Was a damp boyfriend a buzzkill? Because that's what she was getting. He'd been playing nice, giving her space to talk to people, but there was just a point where he had to come inspect the summer dress from up close.

"Hey, gorgeous. Are you new here?" he said in his best come on voice.

Was it wrong for Caroline to laugh at his best come on voice? Because she was.

"Really? That's your line?" Poor Jake had never tried to pick her up. He had no idea what he was getting himself into.

"Well... I could go on about how great your legs look in that dress, but since you're already laughing at me, I'm not going to."

There might have been some sulking going on there.

"See, now if you'd started with the legs and ignored that you'd clearly failed to notice me before now, I might not be laughing," she told him, having a nice look at what the rain had done to his shirt.

Yeah, she'd been right about how attractive that would be.

"But then I wouldn't want you to think I'm some sort of creep who's been drooling over you for the past hour," he replied, reaching out to tug at the knot of her jeans jacket thingie.

"Who says only creeps drool for hours?" Caroline asked, glancing from his hand to his face and wondering if he was still messing around or not. "Of course, I'm dating a wolf so I might just be okay with that sort of thing as a rule."

"I don't drool," he laughed and took a step closer, leaning his head down. "You look gorgeous."

"Thank you," she said sweetly, smiling back up at him. "Too bad you look all wet or I'd have given you a hug. This rain is cramping my style, even if I totally refused to let it define my outfit." The six extra inches of height the shoes provided were required, dammit.

The six extra inches were kind of nice and he slid his arm around her waist to see exactly what the benefits were. "You're afraid of a little water?"

She was immediately making a face and trying to lean away from his wet chest. "Oh, please don't ruin my outfit! I carried an umbrella and then stayed under the tent to keep dry, you know."

"It's just be wet and then it'd dry," he argued, trying to tug her back.

"The one time you wear clothes and it has to rain," she grumbled, leaning in to give him a light hug. It was clear she was still trying to keep her clothes from sucking up a lot of moisture from his. "Huh, you just like, stood out in it to get this wet, didn't you?"

"It was cool," he was just going to tighten his arms around her and pull her a little closer.

"You're so weird," Caroline sighed, giving in to his squishing her till her dress and jacket got all wet. He was so lucky she liked him.

"You like me weird," he declared, rubbing a hand down her back. "And I like how tall you are right now."

"Ha! Bow down to my awesome shoes," she said, kicking up a heel so he could see them behind her. "Aren't they adorable?"

He laughed and leaned against her so he could glance down at her shoes. Okay, he was mostly glancing down at her legs and the shoes were a little bit scary. Luckily, he knew better than to say that. Besides, it was kind of awesome how tall she was.

"Very adorable," he nodded. "You're adorable."

Yeah, her dress wouldn't pass normal high school dress codes with regards to length, but she thought it did an excellent job showing off her best assets.

"I'm wet and adorable now," she told him, pulling back just enough to see the discoloration over the front of her jacket.

"It's not that bad," he laughed and looked a little sheepish as he took in the wet. "It's not my fault it's raining and no one bothered to talk me out of my shirt."

"Oh please, like anyone wanted you out of it once it was all plastered to your chest," she scoffed, giving his chest a little smack as she pulled back, grabbing for his hand. "It's way hotter like that. The wet t-shirt contest effect. Come sit with me."

"Huh. It is?" he asked as he let her tug him along. "So did you have fun?"

"Yeah, it's nice to hang out with people I only ever seem to see here," she shrugged, pulling him past the dessert table so she could grab a cookie on her way to an empty table. "It's weird. Did you see the room posting?"

Hey, he was grabbing a cookie too then. Make the two. "Nope, haven't really bothered looking at any of those. Why?"

Maybe he should start, so he wouldn't get freaked out again if someone he knew showed up.

"You should seriously start checking it out." She eyed him, thinking he'd probably actually like this, but they'd made it to a table and she pulled out a chair for him. "But first sit, let's build the anticipation a little."

He raised an eyebrow, wondering when she started being courteous to him, but he sat down nonetheless. Obviously something was bothering her. "Did someone you know show up?"
