Re: Fourth Period

"Oooh," Rory said, raising an eyebrow. "Perfect gift for her. I'll have to ask her to see it next time I bump into her."

"Celtic hilt too," Angel said, because even while talking about his girlfriend he still had a gay man's taste in, well, everything. "Thought it'd be nice. Symbolic."

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Symbolic?" Rory asked. "Like those Claddagh rings and stuff?"

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Um, no, no," Angel's demeanor flickered for only a second and then the stoic mask was right back on. "Not like that. So, uh, what about you? How'd you spend the day?"

Re: Fourth Period

"I did the single and alone thing in my room. Ate ice cream, read a book," Rory shrugged, still smiling a little bit idiotically.

Re: Fourth Period

Angel pondered this one. On the one hand: Rory was telling him something. On the other: his nose was telling him something vastly different.

"Really?"

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yes, really," Rory said, beginning to look slightly panicked. "Why?"

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Panic. Okay. She wanted to keep this quiet. Angel could do quiet.

"No reason." He smiled at her.

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"No, seriously, what have you heard?" Rory asked, her eyebrows nearly in her hairline. "Were you near my room or something? Because I just really liked my book."

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Nothing," Angel assured her. "Haven't heard a thing. I don't talk to people much." He gave her a look. "For whatever that's worth to you."

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory frowned, mildly appeased. "Oh, okay. Good." She eyed him carefully. "So like, if you knew something...somehow...you wouldn't say anything?"

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Correct." Another look.

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Good to know." Rory smiled. "Vampire thing I don't know about that tells you stuff like this?"

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Pretty much," Angel admitted. "Comes in handy sometimes. Others, little too much information."

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Does it tell you, um, who? Or just that I...?" Rory trailed off, turning red.

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

In response, Angel quietly nodded at "Tell you who?"

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Ah." Rory was now a very dark red. "Okay. It's a secret, obviously. And don't say anything to him, okay?"

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No problem," Angel said. "Saying anything involves words. I hate that."

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Words suck," Rory agreed, pulling a sheet of paper out of her bag. It read:

Angela
Parker
Smith
Prof. Tick
Bridge
Mom

At the bottom, she quickly scrawled Angel.

"So. Anyway. Want to talk about like, anything else?"

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"In theory. But that's, you know, talking." Angel grinned at her.

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"And talking is bad," Rory agreed, returning the grin. "Anyway. Anything I can help you find?"

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Just browsing around for Campaigning," Angel said. "I've got homework I need to catch up on."

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory's smile widened. "You're sticking with it, then?"

Re: Fourth Period

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"We'll see," Angel said. "I had a talk with Prof. Lyman and he convinced me to give it a shot."

Re: Fourth Period

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yay!" Rory said happily. "He's a good teacher."
