The Library is Open (03/24)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory situated herself behind the desk and became deeply absorbed in a well-worn copy of To Kill a Mockingbird.

[*cries at LJ* So sorry for the delay, people. For some reason, LJ hates my OCD and kept eating my comments. Hence why there is no lunchtime in the library today, unless I manage to fix it somehow.]

Peter blinked. "Do koalas make you bald?"

"Don't be silly," Rory scoffed. "Anteaters cut hair, though."

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

"Huh," Peter said. He recognized this as insanity she and Bridge we're talking about one night. He wanted no part of that.

"Speaking of people with hair, I see Anakin's back. Never doubt the Word of Peter again."

"I was wrong to have doubted," Rory said, smiling a bit too broadly to really seem sorry.

"Well, you've learned your lesson."

"Crap. I still owe him an explanation about the arms," Peter said. "Maybe if I see him around tomorrow."

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

"You owe him an explanation?" Rory raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know you were actually telling people like, on a regular basis."

"People see a guy with six arms, they ask questions. I didn't have a chance to give a smartass answer in Skeeter's class the other day, but I promised I'd tell him later," Peter explained. "At the very least, he deserves a smartass answer of his own."

"Skeeter didn't help? Wouldn't she be able to?" Rory asked. "Oh, and speak of the devil (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/746799.html?thread=35688495#t35688495)."

"Could help but won't, which is just one of a few reasons why I'd like to see John Crichton do some real damage to her," Peter said before turning to Anakin.

"See who around?" Anakin asked, coming up behind them.

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

Rory turned and gave him a megawatt smile. "Peter was lookinating for you."

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

His breath didn't catch at her smile. Really. Not at all.

He grinned back. "Was he? Professor Skeeter gave us a free period today, told us to work on research. So here I am. Research--" he gave her a questioning look, "-inating?"

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yes, researchinating," Rory said firmly. "What are you supposed to lookinate for?"

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Examples of different writing styles," he said. He smiled. "I have examples of 'colossally boring' from home, but I'm not sure that's a writing style or a way of life."

He ran a hand through his hair. "I was in here last period working on Tactics homework, too, but you were in class, right?"

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yup, art," Rory nodded. The movement caused a somewhat alarming amount of glitter to fall out of her hair.

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Oooh. Glitter.

Anakin caught it before it hit the ground, swirling it around in the air.

"Making something sparkly?" he asked.

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Sort of. We were doing installation art. I bounced around on a ball for half the period, throwing glitter around with Parker."

She inclined her head towards the other girl. "She's gleeful over cuteness."

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin gestured with his hand, sending the glitter into a trash can. "Cuteness?" he asked.

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You know Jarod? The guy you met awhile back? He and Parker finally got their act together," Rory said, beaming.

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"I just mentioned how I promised you that I'd explain the arms," Peter said. "For the record, it's a fashion statement. I was tired of being just another guy with two arms."

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin laughed. "A very bold statement. The barber at the Temple has four arms. He says he needs that many to keep a handle on squirming younglings. You could have a career in the haircare industry if you'd like."

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Hair is just a recurring theme this period, isn't it?" Peter asked.

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin nodded his head at Rory. "She tell you about the wallaby?" He laughed. "These things only happen to her, I swear."

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"And anteaters cut hair. I don't know. I think she's insane, personally," Peter said.

Re: Seventh Period [3/24]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin stopped himself from saying, "but she's cute."

Barely.

He snickered. "I don't think she's insane. Just a little, um, touched."
