The Library Is Open (12/05/05)

Janet unlocks the library and flips on the lights.

Sitting on the Collections Desk is a package addressed to "Adam Pierson." The envelope is embossed with an unusual symbol, the meaning of which Janet didn't know. ~~Except she did, because she steamed open the last envelope that came with that symbol on it. But she couldn't do that to this package without getting caught.~~ And that was really starting to bug her.

She moved the package behind the Collections Desk and glared at it until the first library patron showed up.

*wordlessly crawls under the desk*

*muffled* Please don't kill me?

Parker covered her face, the scarlet reaching her hairline. "Only if someone kills me. Now. How could you? Damnit, Zero!"

*pokes her head out from under the desk*

I wanted to help?

"But Jarod? Why? Why him? He's beaten me on every test we've ever taken since we were ten, he never lets me forget he's smarter than I am, he has to find out I'm this stupid on top of it?" Parker dropped her hands from her face, glared at both Zero and Janet and said, "I will talk to you later. I just--"

She stalked toward the entrance without looking back.

*scrambles to her feet to call after Parker, then realizes this is probably not a conversation Parker wants to have across the library*

*sigh*

Janet sighs.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

I'm swerval. Or a screw-up. Pick one.

"You're not a screw-up," said Janet. "Did you even know Parker felt that way about Jarod? So how could you know how she'd react?"

Well, I knew she didn' want anyone knowin' about him, so, I don' know, maybe she thinks this'll expose him somehow?
