Chloe sits in the Journalism classroom, tapping away at her laptop. If you glance at the screen fast enough, you might catch her playing solitaire before she switches windows and brings up actual work.

[zomg so late! *apologizes profusely*]

Comments

"I could be blond," Jake comments, shuffling in. He looks tired.

[chasingangela]

"So could I," Angela says, giving a piece of her own hair a cross-eyed look. "I'd just need to bleach out the red."

She laughs, realizing who she's talking to. "You would probably need fewer chemicals, right?"

[mycanonhatesme]

"We like you better as a brunette though," Chloe teases. "Are you okay?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Mmm." Jake nods. He drops down in the couch next to Rory and closes his eyes. "Tired, is all."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory pats his arm. "Jakey, why so sleepy?" She arches a brow. "You're not a psychic who's been hijacking my dreams, are you?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake blinks at her. "...No. At least I don't think so. I mean, I'm fairly sure I'd notice if I suddenly developed psychic-ness. Just haven't slept off the holiday yet, is all. I need a holiday from the holiday."

"Good, because I don't think I need another one of those," Rory says, nodding and glancing back at her laptop. "And what happened to you over break? Exciting stuff?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Sort of." Eyes close again. "Was shot in the head. That was fun. Lost mass like woah."

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe turns back towards Jake and Rory just in time to hear, and she blinks for a second, certain she heard wrong. "Wait. You were what?!"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You were what?" Rory snaps, her eyes wide. "Who? How? Where?" She reaches a hand out to Jake's head, as though making sure it's all there.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Shot inna head," Jake repeats sleepily, just before Krycek enters the room.

[mycanonhatesme]

"You...what?!" The only thing stopping Chloe from outright frantic yelling is how tired Jake looks. When Krycek comes in, she looks back and forth between them for a moment, before stalking over to Krycek.

Rory watches Chloe go off to talk to Alex, and turns back to Jake.

"Who?" she asks quietly. "If you want to talk about it, I mean."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake makes a sleepy noise, then glips his eyes at Rory. "Scary mean alien dude. But Alexeij spiked him." His head tips onto Rory's shoulder. "'Lexeij is great," he mumbles.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yes, Alex is fab, dear," Rory replies softly, slipping an arm around his shoulders. "Do you want me to take you back home? You need sleep, Jake."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Meeting!" Jake protests into her shoulder.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Chloe will let us know if anything interesting happens. It's kind of dead in here anyway. And if you don't want to go all the way to the house, you can crash in my room, if you want," Rory offers.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

He tilts his head back and regards her sleepily. "Your room?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh. It's not very far. And you can nap there all you want," Rory nods.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

He looks over at Krycek and Chloe, then back at Rory. "'Kay. Tell Alexeij first?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory gently extricates herself from him, and goes to do that (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/407969.html?thread=19071393#t19072417).

[chasingangela]

"Jake seems really sleepy," Angela says, looking a little worried. "I hope that's all it is. He was fine at the Perk earlier."

She stands, shaking it off. "And I'm late to poetry. Drop me a message if I need to do anything but Rover and the missing students thing we already talked about."

She tiptoes out.
