Study Hall -- Thursday, November 3rd

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Having no idea how to help other people deal with grief (her usual method of dealing with it is either to scream about how everybody else is going to die from nuclear holocaust or to shoot something), Sarah has left every possibly comfortingly cliche thing she can think of on her desk -- teddy bears, tissues, chocolate, etc. Also, in addition to the puppies, now there's a basketful of kittens for cuddling.

Meanwhile, Sarah has fallen asleep in her chair. Let it never be said that Sarah can't find a way to avoid having teenagers that aren't hers cry on her shoulders.

John comes into study hall, pulling out his criminology take home essay so he can start plotting out his paper.

Anders tosses a gumball into John's lap. "Hey, Crichton."

John grins, picks up the gumball and pops it in his mouth.

"Anders, dude. How's it goin?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Aside from being broke? Pretty good, pretty good." He nods and scratches his nose, revealing a Thundercats Band-Aid across his palm. "You?"

"Can't complain," he says with a shrug, laughing at the bandage. "What happened there?" John asks with a nod towards Anders' palm.

"I was stupid yesterday. Thought I'd go out and work out in the great outdoors for a change, but tree branches don't make good gym equipment." He grins ruefully. "Was too worried about Cally to think too well. QP really upset her."

"Quantum Physics?" John shifts uncomfortably, remembering that class. "Yeah, I think it might've affected us all. I was there, man."

"What the frak happened, dude? I've never seen her this shaken up." Anders grits his teeth. "I know he got bitten by a gremlin, but talk me out of going after him."

"I haven't got a clue why the gremlin affected him as much as it did. When I walked in, he totally called me out and said Lee and I were secretly kissing in closets and that we were boytoys. Okay, Lee and I are good friends, we joke around A LOT, but calling me out like that? Not cool." John clenches his fists a bit. "I got in too late to see what he said to Cally. What happened there?"

Anders shakes his head and glowers at the far wall. "I didn't get the whole thing out of her. She said he got right up in her face, like, right up in her face, and accused her of being a liar. Then she started talking about how she loves me even if she might think other guys are cute, so I'm wondering if he accused her of cheating on me or something. I'm telling you, man, I have never seen her this freaked out."

John's eyes widen in shock. He'd missed all of that. "Dude, you want me to try talking to her since I was there? Or can I do anything to help? That's...yeah man, I can see why you wanna go after him."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I think she's okay now, but yeah . . . could you, maybe?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Definitely. Whatever he said, she didn't deserve it. And I hope the Doctor apologizes during our next class. If me and Cally are any indication, he wrecked havoc."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders nods. "Thanks, man. I'll owe you one. That's just not cool even if you and Lee are my OTP."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Not a problem," John answers. "I gotta get with Cally anyway, let her know that I'm working on our Music 101 scavenger hunt. She and Callisto are in my group and, since they're both not from this time or world, I'm gonna do most of it."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Thanks. Keep an eye on her for me, will you? Make sure she's okay?" Anders tosses John another gumball and proceeds to fall asleep in his chair.
