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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Were you a veteran Fandom resident? Did you finish getting your brain broken by your sibling and/or buddy? Did you just want to sit down to recover from the shuttle ride? If so, then there were plenty of tables and chairs set up across the lawn just waiting to be filled!

[This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Crap, I'm sorry, I didn't think that would make you think you're crazy or whatever," Johnny said. The flame and heat disappeared and he dropped to his feet. "I promise not to show off anymore if it'll make you feel better, just... Please stop? It's okay."

Could he pat her reassuringly with a non-flaming hand? Would that make her freak out more? Why couldn't people just accept that some people could zoom around on fire?

He ended up at an arm's length with a hand hovering an unsure distance from Evie's arm.

"You didn't--" Evie was sputtering now, actually sputtering because the ability to make words had temporarily abandoned her. Her hand shot up stopping his from coming any closer. "Is that some kind of joke? Is that what passed as amusing conversation in the last place you were in? A little 'chuckles from the ward' humor: 'Ha ha, don't want you to think you're crazy'?"

Evie was going to hide under her bed forever when she thought of this conversation after finding out this school was not what she'd been led to believe.

Johnny let his hand swing away after Evie slapped at it. "No, no, not a joke. I swear. I have no idea what's happening here," Johnny said. "You seem cool and I just wanted to show off and I didn't mean to freak you out with what I can do, I promise. Swear on my father's grave. I really didn't think you'd react with anything but thinking that the flying thing was cool."

"Stop saying that!" Evie said, trying to sound angry to keep from crying. "You don't have powers! No one can fly, it's just not real!"

Granted, the floating and the flames had all seemed very real, but that wasn't how reality worked! The was the problem with delusions! If they felt obviously false, they wouldn't be so damn hard to ignore.

"Look," she hissed, leaning close. Just because she was at a school filled with crazy kids didn't mean she wanted any of them to know what particular flavor of crazy she suffered from. "I don't know how you're doing it, how you're making me see this stuff, but just stop. I am committed to getting better and going home. No more headaches, no more hallucinations, no more images of cute boys catching on fire and flying off into the sky! I am going to go home and be happy and normal if it kills me, so keep your...your...your infectious delusions to yourself!"

Oh god, Johnny was going to get such an apology in a few weeks.

"Okay, if that's... That's fine. I really didn't mean to cause any trouble here. I'll stay clear and I hope everything works out somehow," Johnny said, taking a few steps back. "I really do."

At least she called him cute?

Suuuuuch an apology. Possibly with abject groveling and begging him not to say anything about what she'd...hinted at. Yes.

For now though, Evie was just going to glare at him before whirling around and walking away. "Yeah, sure," she tossed over her shoulder. "Whatever."

As a parting shot it left just about everything to be desired, but Evie needed to just get away and get some control over herself before she really did start crying or something.

There were some nice trees around. Yeah, she'd just sit under a tree for a little bit and breathe in some calm.

Stupid cute boys who could fly while on fire.
