Newspaper Crew Meeting: 16:00 FHS-20:00 FHS

[mycanonhatesme]

Deciding that amusement is the key to staying cheerful amidst the emo-drama storm, Chloe comes into the Journalism classroom wearing her birthday slippers. They're not much, but they're just about the perfect thing for her mood right now.

She sets the desks up, and goes about making sure there's enough coffee just barely stopping herself from writing "Seniors Only" on it.

Jake comes wandering in a couple of minutes later, looking very pleased with himself. He drops his backpack by a chair and jumps up on a desk, swinging his legs. "Hey, Chloe."

[mycanonhatesme]

"Hey Jake," she says. Glancing at him, she finds herself matching his grin. "You look happy. Am I going to regret asking why?"

"'M doing an extra credits project in art class. Just got Lilly Kane to agree to pose for me." He tilts his head, looking at her, grinning wider when he sees the slippers. "Would you pose? You're pretty, you'd look good in a painting."

After her trip to the bookstore, Angela plops herself into a chair, waving to Jake and Chloe.

She looks exhuasted, but at peace. "Hey."

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe waves back. "Hey. Welcome to my humble home," she teases.

[chasingangela]

"Thank you for having me over," Angela teases back.

She lowers her voice. "Hey. You know that thing we were talking about in Study Hall, about wanting proof?"

Veronica enters the room, looks around, sees several people she's planning to avoid, spots Angela, and decides to grab a seat next to her.

"I got your message," she says softly. "Thanks."

[chasingangela]

"Welcome," Angela says, with a genuine smile. "Marty told me what you found. You did an amazing thing for him, and for me, and for everyone."

She glances around the room. "We should talk about this more, but someplace quieter."

Rory wanders in, and heads for the coffee, studiously avoiding looking at Angela.

[chasingangela]

Angela looks pained as she watches Rory not looking at her. If I could only tell her...

She attempts to shrug it off.

When he's out of coffee, Jake shuffles over to join her. "Hey, Rory. I have a question."

Beka, because she's watching for these sorts of things, noticed that Rory and Angela weren't talking. If Rory looked her way, she'd see a speculative but warm expression on Beka's face. An invitation to talk if she wanted to.

Lana pokes her head in, "Boy, this is just like old times. Hey, Chloe, could I talk to you for a second in private?"

[mycanonhatesme]

"Hey Lana!" Chloe exclaims, surprised to see her. "Sure. Is everything all right?"

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka wandered in just in time to overhear Jake and Chloe talking about Jake's art project. "Half-naked girl reporting for duty, Boss," she says to no one in particular. "Pretty isn't up to me to say."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake grinned. "Wouldn't have asked if you weren't." He waved his hand. "Now get to work, minion."

Returning from his room, Krycek notices Jake surrounded by several girls and snorts softly to himself. He takes a seat on the couch and pulls out his notepad to continue making lists, looking thoughtful.

Phoebe enters the room and takes up a seat in a back corner.

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka headed over to Phoebe. She didn't look well. Not at all. "Pheebs?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica waits for Chloe to have a spare minute.

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe spots Veronica and beelines over to her, hugging her as soon as she's in physical range. "Hey," she says softly.

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka noticed Veronica avoiding her gaze - which was good by her but she didn't necessarily want Veronica to know that. She made several attempts to make eye contact, each time letting more genuine hurt and anger show in her face.

An hour or two after the meeting opens up, D'anna slips in looking for Jake or Chloe, hoping to see if they'd need anything from her this week.

[mycanonhatesme]

"Hey D'anna," Chloe says, waving at her.

Callisto wanders into the classroom after Sociology, and sits at the nearest desk waiting to see if she's needed.
