"Because I have class first period and then I sleep second period. And either everyone else in the room is either sleeping through second or showering." Self preservation? "Uh?"


[I actually went and checked all Jack'sroomies schedules to come up with a realistic excuse. So sad.]

"Fine."

She purses her lips for a minute, considering.

"I've never given anyone detention, Jack. Do you want to be the first?"

Re: 301 JACK

"Not really. Can I bribe you with... something?"

Re: 301 JACK

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Give it a try."

Re: 301 JACK

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"Ummm... Something big I assume?"


[Oh man. I have an idea.]

Re: 301 JACK

"Impress me, Jack. Everything's riding on it."

Re: 301 JACK

"A declaration of my eternal love and devotion?"

Re: 301 JACK

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She flods her eyes and smirks. "And how praytell am I expected to believe that when you can't even be in class when you say you will be?"

"Because... we have a pirate?" Oh no. It's things like this that make him wish he would think before speaking.

Re: 301 JACK

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"A pirate. Have you lost your damned mind?"

Re: 301 JACK

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Stoptalkingstoptalkingstoptalking!

"Possibly."

Re: 301 JACK

God he's adorable when I have him over the fire... She licks her lips and stares him down, arms folded loosely across her chest. "Tell me more about eternal love and devotion, Cap'n."

Re: 301 JACK

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Oh no.

"Um it... is ever-bounding and never-ending?"

Re: 301 JACK

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Ok. Now prove it."

Re: 301 JACK

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"How? And keep in mind I have a girlfriend who can kick my ass."

Re: 301 JACK

"I'm a teacher and you're a student, Jack. Don't be a...teenaged boy." She shakes her head. "No...I think it'll mean a lot more to both of us if you come up with the solution yourself."

"Macaroni necklaces?"

Re: 301 JACK

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Jesus likes macaroni necklaces, Jack. And glitter pictures. Do I look like Jesus?"

Re: 301 JACK

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"...Is that a trick question?"

Re: 301 JACK

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She raises her eyebrows and stares at him, unsmiling.

"...You're going to sacrifice me for a good parking spot aren't you?"

Re: 301 JACK

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Yes, Jack. That's exactly it. In this town where I can't drive the car I don't have anymore, I'm going to sacrifice one boy who can't get out of bed on time to the overlords of parking spaces."

She looks at him hard, arms still crossed.

Re: 301 JACK

"Can I give up?"

Re: 301 JACK

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"You want me to just take your word? It's your word and detention, or your word and acts or gifts, kid. What's it going to be?"
