BWI Airport, Portalocity Lounge [Saturday morning]

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

It had been with several bone-crushing hugs, a lucky rabbit's foot, two trashy books and an iPod that Olive had boarded the plane. If she had to guess, geographically, she had started to really miss her parents and brothers somewhere over Texas. (Texas was huge. She was probably right.) She'd pushed that away and shoved in her earbuds in an attempt to sleep, to no avail.

And...now she was supposed to meet new classmates. Okay. She found the designated loungey area thing -- and holy crap, that glittery sign was like something Marianne would make (so...not a great omen) -- and took a seat. Tempted as she was to retreat into her book and iPod again, she instead only fiddled idly with her phone, looking up every couple minutes to see if anyone relatively her age had come over. She hated being the first one anywhere. Now there was like, this onus on her.

She had maybe just won her Words With Friends game with her mom, as soon as the plane had landed, with "onus." She was pretty proud of that.

"I'm sorry," Yeul said. "I did not mean to bring up an unpleasant thing."

Cade waved her apology aside. "Life's full of unpleasant things. If you don't learn that early, you're gonna be disappointed a lot."

"I know." Did she ever know. "But disappointments should be tempered with the better things. Don't you think so?"

Cade snorted. "If I ever see a better thing, I'll let you know."

"You don't find anything to be better?" she asked carefully. "Not even a simple sunset, perhaps?"

She'd always found those lovely.

It was like talking to one of the Jedi Masters again. Ugh.

Cade shook his head. "I'm a little busy to be contemplating the vastness of the whatever."

"That busy? And now you're a student?" Yeul considered that. "I hope we are not all going to be kept that busy. I had not thought school would be that much work."
