The Library is Open (04/06)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory staggered in and opened the library during second period, nursing her second cup of coffee and looking very much the worse for wear.

[Goin' up early like whoa so I can sleep in and not worry about it. Rory'll be available for interaction around 1 EST.]

While Rory helps Crichton, Angela sits near Parker. "Whatcha doing?"

"Campaigning. Ad campaigns for a candidate I can't really get behind. I'm definitely not going into politics." She cocked an eyebrow at Angela. "You ready for this weekend?"

"I thought you had already decided that after the last two student council campaigns," Angela pointed out. "And ... yeah, I guess." She made a face. "I can't promise I'll be good company, though. Yesterday I was talking to Nadia Santos at the boykissy thing and it turned into Emofest 2006."

"True. And that's okay if you're down. God knows I won't be a ray of sunshine." Parker cocked her head. "How's Nadia doing? I talked to her on Tuesday, and she didn't even mention the thing with Marty, but she had other bad weirdness happen last weekend on top of it. That girl needs a vacation."

Angela sighed. "She didn't tell me about the other bad stuff this weekend. She told me lemurs had attacked them in the lunchroom, though. It does seem like she's having an even worse week than me."

She perked up momentarily. "Speaking of which, I got flowers yesterday. I hope that means he's safe, somewhere."

"Yay. And it'd have to, if he has time to stop and order them for you." Parker smiled hopefully. "You can still send him e-mail from my place this weekend too, so he doesn't worry." She looked thoughtful. "Did he say how he'd know when it's safe to come back?"

Angela smiled. "I got Janet to give me his laptop," she said. "I'm pretty sure it has a wireless thingie. But thank you."

She looked throughtful at Parker's next sentence. "I don't know. He was in a hurry, I was really upset ... he said he needed to check on his mom and Marcella, but it sounded like there was more to it than that. It might be a week, it might be -" she swallowed. "Next fall. If..." She couldn't finish the thought.

"Sure." Parker considered what Angela said, then pointed out, "Either way, he'll let you know as soon as he's sure. You won't be left hanging, wondering about when he can come back, as long as he stays in contact. This is only temporary."

Re: Third Period

[chasingangela]

"Maybe," Angela said, indifferently. "That doesn't make it hurt less."

Re: Third Period

"I know." Parker looked regretful. "I'm sorry." Trying to think of something cheerful, she said, "I've got a tape of Xander in his high school talent show that I'm going to show on Monday night, I think. We should have a movie night, bring out any of our other stuff. The pageant tape. That's always funny."

Re: Third Period

[chasingangela]

Angela managed a smile at that. "We should watch the pageant, sure." Then she remembered the blue-tighted minstrel and iclined her head toward Rory. "Unless it might be too hard for some people to watch."

"Oh, crap. You're right." Parker rubbed her eyes. "Just once, one day, I would like the planets to synch up so that all of the library aides are happy and having no issues, romantic or un. Gah."

"I think we were almost there last Monday," Angela said. "Except Janet's still single." She shrugged, and it almost sounded like she was laughing. "Maybe the stars are just against us."
