Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

There were plenty of large umbrellas set up for those who didn't enjoy a good pelting of various summer related materials. Because some people are weird like that.

There was also a splendid selection of food and beverages under a canopy to keep from ingesting suntan lotion. See? Your faculty thought of everything. Except how to make the island behave.

That you'll have to deal with.

If there was any more 'o rly' in there, Evan would have taken to hiding behind his book.

"You keep mentioning Professor Starsmore," he murmured. "But I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me."

Or, at least, the one back at the Jean Grey School didn't.

"Jono is one of the people I trust most on this island," Karla said softly. "And he's used to working with people who aren't quite sure of themselves."

She paused and then asked as delicately as she could, "Why do you think he doesn't like you? Is it because of the resemblance?"

"To... to Apocalypse?" Evan was barely murmuring now, himself. "I don't know. Maybe? He seems really good with the other students. But he always kind of just... ignores me. Not... not trying to be rude or anything, I don't think. Like... maybe he'd just rather not notice me."

Which was still a step up from the treatment the other students gave him over that.

Sorry, Evan, but you were going to need to move fast if you wanted to avoid a hug.

Evan was really, really new to this place. And so he wound up sitting there, suddenly encircled in a surprise hug, blinking.

And he'd lost his place in his book.

"Uh..."

It took him another second, and then he was forgetting about the book and hugging Karla back. There had been plenty of hugs back in Kansas. He knew how these things went, at least.

"What's this for?"
