Spring 2013 Club Fair, Gym, Friday Afternoon

[nomoresportscars]

Jackson couldn't believe he was here again. At some Maryland boarding school, and some... quaint little freaking club fair, heading a lacrosse group that was really his own personal stress relief than any kind of an actual team.

But he was here again. And his club was listed on the club schedule. Guess this was really happening. Again.

And this time, they even had cheerleaders.

Jackson sighed and went to set up his table.

[ocd up! FAIR AWAY!]

"I bet." He was really going to have to make an effort to meet this dinosaur now. "That's almost as cool as all the people who come from like, space and the future and stuff."

"I keep hearing about that," Bay told him. "My big sister's a witch or something. Makes being a normal girl from Kansas City seem extra-boring."

Not that she precisely minded being boring after the year she'd had.

"Aww, I'm sure you're not boring!" Jeremy told her. Because he was the kind of guy who said these kinds of things, and meant them.

He also couldn't point out Kansas on a map but that was beside the point. "Fandom doesn't really do boring. Not even in the students."

"Maybe I'm the exception," Bay told him, though she was smiling. She didn't really think she was boring at all. "What's your not-boring thing?"

"Well..." Jeremy pretended to look thoughtful. "I prefer to think of myself as kind of all-around maximum, you know? But for something specific, my family owns half of Manhattan?"

Okay, so even two years at Fandom hadn't made him think there was any other way to pinpoint his specialness than money.

Bay did not look impressed.

"So basically you're like the guys at my old school except with even more money."

But then, her dad was a former baseball player who owned car washes, so it wasn't like she came up from the mean streets herself.

But did the guys at his old school have such an adorable confused look?

"... Huh?"

No, seriously. He was clearly missing something here. Chalk it up to his skewed perception of reality where he was either around rich people or in Fandom.

Awwwww, he was like a puppy! Like a not-too-bright, rich puppy!

"The school I went to since I was five," she explained, "is where all the rich people in KC send their kids. My dad owns car washes. I mean, yay money, it's just not" -- her lips quirked -- "quite in the same realm of awesome as a dinosaur."

Jeremy pointed a finger at her.

"No," he agreed, "but if they were available where I'm from, I could buy a dinosaur. Although my parents would probably make me give it to a zoo..."

"But you could visit it," Bay offered, because the way he pointed was actually pretty cute. "Maybe get people to sew special dinosaur designer clothes so it didn't get cold in the winter."

Re: Talk to the Representative – Apathy Club [CF Spring 2013]

Maybe that was how Jeremy was special: he was so puppy-like and clueless that it crossed straight into endearing.

"Ido know a lot of designers who'd probably be willing to experiment. Well, my sister does, anyway. There'd be dinosaur-inspired collections."

"Maybe knitted tail-warmers," Bay suggested thoughtfully. "And horn protectors. That .... seems like it could be a thing."
