Wednesday 3/15, Library is Open

Zero opened up the library, as usual, and settled in behind the desk to be available for all the student body's libraryish needs. Which frequently seemed to consist of gossiping and bringing the aides pastry, but hey, she wasn't complaining.

"Don't know yet. I should probably ask him about that. Does the Chinese place have real Chinese food?"

"I think so? At least, every time we've ordered take-out, the more traditional stuff has been an option. I haven't been to the actual restaurant." Parker looked thoughtful. "I think Marty and Angela have been? And I'm pretty sure Veronica has."

"Oh. And don't tell anyone else Jarod is responsible for what's about to happen, okay? I could have asked Broots, but the FBI still has him on their watch list."

"I know nothing. Nothing, I tell you. I am as innocent as a newborn lamb."

((Does Nick Fury even file tax returns?))

Parker snickered, then looked sheepish. "Um. Have listened to the radio lately, or gotten a copy of today's newspaper?" That might make her grind her teeth.

[from what I saw, Jarod's getting... creative. More than the IRS now.]

"I caught the radio last night, sure. Didn' realize there was a new issue of the newspaper out. Why?"

(Excellent. Ultimate!Nick Fury is a dick.)

Parker rolled her eyes. "Because it's now public knowledge that I've kissed Jarod. I'll be killing some people about the spread of that info later. Although Jaye has already been kind enough to agree to measures against Skeeter." She may have grinned evilly on that last bit.

"You kissed Jarod?" Zero squealed.

Palming her face, Parker nodded. "Sunday. The park. Rehearsing Shakespeare." She muttered, "If I ever need to seduce someone deliberately, obviously Shakespeare is the way to go."

"He's a good seduction writer," Zero agreed. "'Course, most people go for the sonnets instead of the play about the vengeful fairy queen, but you're not most people."

"Thank you, Zero. It's good to know that my friends understand me." Parker grimaced. "Anyway. It's no big deal, really. We're friends. Again. It's good. So. Right. Weirdness over."

She stole some more of Zero's crisps and munched them, looking vaguely depressed.

Zero stole another grape. "Except that maybe you don't want to be friends?"

"Except I do want to be friends, I just want... Yes. Even though it's a bad, bad idea." Parker shook her head. "I'm losing my mind."

"Well." Zero reached for a slightly stale muffin from the assortment Marty had brought in the day before. "You are a teenager, with certain...feelings. And he's quite good-looking. And you've known him for a long time. It's perfectly understandable."

"He's more than good-looking. He's-- special." In ways that complicated everything. "I don't know how to do this. Even if I was convinced he felt the same way, which I'm pretty sure he doesn't. But this isn't something I've done before." And there were other considerations.

"I think it's sweet. You'e bein' all worried about his feelings an' stuff."

"Sweet? I don't do sweet! God, first Sandburg, now you! I'm a Parker, I'm hard-edged and steely, sweet is, is, God, it's not me!"

"Whatever you need to tell yourself, Parker."

*headdesk*
*headdesk*
*headdesk*

"At least Jarod would never call me sweet."

Zero rolled her eyes and went back to her sandwich. Privately, she thought Parker was being a bit drama queeny about all this. But then, Jarod had known her a lot longer than Zero had. Maybe she was totally nutso before she came to FH.
