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

[bigdamnprincipal]

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!]

"Noooo judging here," Miley promised, putting her hands up in concession. "And hey, say what you want about Justin, but he throws awesome parties."

A beat. Oops.

"...Or so I've heard."

"Do you read gossip blogs and stuff?" Billy asked. "I guess there are worse ways he could spend his money."

"My point exactly," Miley said, clicking a little finger-gun at Billy. Although no, it hadn't been her point at all. Shh.

Okay, best to get the topic far away from her Hannah contacts. It was just a bad idea. "Soooo... tell me something about yourself," she suggested.

"Um, well, I've been here since the beginning of the summer?" he said uncertainly. "And I'm kind of homesick, but it's also been pretty fun here. And I live with a girl. Because the school paired us up, I mean."

"Well, I didn't think you were shacking up with someone," Miley laughed. Then she paused. "Um, not that I don't think you could. Because you could! If you wanted. Which maybe you do. Or don't. I just met you, but I'm sure if you, uh, if you were the kind of person to want to shack up, then..."

Could he please, please just stop her?

"I'm not that kind of person," Billy said, putting his hand up to stop her. "But thank you for thinking I could be. I usually come off as way too nice for that sort of thing."

Miley was totally relieved not to have to keep babbling. Seriously, thank you, Billy.

"Well, I try to keep an open mind," she quipped. You could only mislabel people so many times before that lesson started to sink in.

"That's good to hear. That'll be a good thing here," Billy said. "I just mean, some people here can be a little...strange, so having an open mind will be good."
