"Not bad, although ACJ is breaking my brain again. How'd you enjoy the party last night?" She grinned. "I know the boyfriend thing tops the rest of anything you got as a prezzie."
"I dunno, Molly's mix CD was pretty good," Angela said, before giving up. "It was fabulous. If sharing my birthday means we get to have a party that good every year, I hope we get 15 more Aries with the new people."
Parker's smile could light the way for alien aircraft. "Camping was great. Wonderful. Super." She tamped it down a little, and said, "I had a good time. Aside from the bugs and squirrels. Oh, hey, do you want to see a picture of a teal deer?"
"Squirrels are kind of freaky. They always seem to be watching you," Angela said. "And I would love to see a picture of a teal deer. I've never seen a real one."
Parker pulled up the photo on her phone, then handed it over. "Here (http://mparker17.livejournal.com/38326.html?thread=865974#t865974). Is that adorable, or what?"
"Pretty much. I was bibbling on about school and Professor Lyman, and Jarod had the camera, but he dropped it when it got closer. So I had to pick up the phone, and that's when he fed it the bread." Parker grinned, flipped to the next picture of four little deer staring at the camera, looking stunned, and said, "They took off right after this one. And then Jarod and I -- got distracted, so we didn't go looking for them again."
"I'll tell you one thing, they can *jump*. We'd need to lure it here and keep it happy. I'm not sure it couldn't jump out of any pen we put around it." Parker grinned. "Then again, given Graduation speeches, we might end up with a stampede if they hold the ceremony outside."
Angela tilted her head in thought. "It would make graduation more interesting," she said. "Lots of cute blue things jumping around and eating programs."
Then: "Hey, I wonder who's going to talk at graduation. I haven't heard anything about, like, valedictorians, or whatever."
"It's a good question. I suppose they have to get final grades in before they know, but still-- maybe they'll have more than one speaker." Parker considered that. "At least no alumni will be showing up to talk, will they? Since this is the first year the school was open. I wonder who they'll get instead."
"Maybe they'll do a reunion of all the old principals," Angela suggested. "I can't believe we went through five. Or four and a half, depending how you count Finn."
"I think we have to count him for half. But yeah, you're right, Connor, Bristow, Smith, Finn, and Washburn-- maybe they could sing a medley." Parker thought about that. "God knows it would serve Bristow and Smith right if they did make them do that. Finn would probably just be amused."

She's probably talking about the deer. Yeah.
