	Jenny/Open

Jenny was still on the fence about the idea of sneaking out of the house, and yet here she was. She may have been physically at the party, but her mind was entirely somewhere else. Wondering how much trouble they'd get in, and over-analyzing the looks people gave her. She was sipping absently at a Jones, the same one she'd had since she had arrived with Ella ages ago. She wasn't even sure where her sister had gotten off to, just hoped that she remembered that they needed to head home early.

If their parents came home and found them out of the house, there would be hell to pay. She was already on thin ice, unsure if her mother was even going to let her return to school on the second.

Under the watchful stare and giggles of some older girls, Jenny shied away from the crowd of people in the kitchen. making her way into the living room. She found an armchair, sitting it in, neatly folding her hands in her lap and twiddling her thumbs.

She was bored silly, but it was still better than being stuck in bed.

	Jenny/Sam

Sam had been making the rounds and checking to see that everyone was having a good time when he saw Jenny literally twiddling her thumbs in the arm chair. He picked up half a case of Dr. Pepper and headed over to his friend. "Hey girl hey!" he called cheerfully, propping himself on the arm of the couch next to her chair. "You look bored out of your brain," he popped open a soda and took a drink.

	Jenny/Sam

Jenny jumped just slightly when Sam joined her. Once she realized what was going on, she managed a sheepish little smile. "Hey hun," she said simply, scooting in her chair a little so that she could lean closer to him. "I just stick out like a sore thumb at these things, I feel like the designated driver.. and besides that, those sophomore girls over there kept looking at me like they think I'm going to cut them up and feed them to their parents. Welcome back to school, huh?" she joked, only half serious, smiling crookedly.

"I know what you mean," he said with a shrug. "I think there are a grand total of two kids who are sober," he laughed a little.

Sam looked over at the sophomores Jenny had pointed out and sneered at them. "Don't let them bother you Jenny. Bitches are always going to be bitches, right?" he grinned. "You want I should scare them off?"

	Jenny/Sam

She smiled a little when Sam offered to put the run on them, shaking her head a bit. "No, let them be. I should probably get used to it, I'm sure people are going to be even worse when we get back to school," she replied. "Besides, El.. sort of told me what went on. I don't blame them for looking at me like that."

	Jenny/Sam

Sam scooted over a little, reaching out and putting his arm around her shoulders. "I know Jen," he sighed. "It sucks right?"

"I've been that weirdo before, something happens and you come back to school and everyone is looking at you like you might snap any second," he kissed the top of her head. "They'll get over it and things will go back to normal," he said reassuringly.

	Jenny/Sam

"Yeah, I know.. I mean, how long can they cling onto one thing for?" Jenny replied, sighing a little and resting her head onto Sam's shoulder, smiling just slightly. "Besides, with all of the shit going on at school lately, I'm sure something even more insane will come up eventually, and I'll be yesterdays news. Which is fine by me. If only my mom would let it go, then I'd be in heaven. She's been keeping me in solitary confinement since I got home. I'm a fugitive, you see.. Ella snuck us out."

	From: samtheman	Date: December 29th, 2010 08:10 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Jenny/Sam

"Right? There will be some new rumors circulating around for the rumor mill by Monday morning. You know people will go nuts tonight," he laughed a little.

"Oooo! A fugitive eh? Breaking the law," he said with a big grin. "I'm shocked and appalled," he teased gently. "Well, I'm glad that you ladies came out, everyone needs a break from crazy parents right?"

	Jenny/Sam

"I'm glad we came too," Jenny agreed, nodding. "Especially since this Christmas, my mother is the epitome of crazy. She gives crazy a new name, they are one and the same. At least my dad has been kind of letting us get away with a couple things, but.. I have a feeling he'd have a bird too if he knew we were out."

Sighing, she gave a little shrug. "Why waste a night though. You wanna dance or something? I hear from a close twinly source that you're a very good dancer," she teased, grinning.

	From: samtheman	Date: December 29th, 2010 09:13 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Jenny/Sam

Sam nodded and laughed. "And what a perfect night to be surrounded by friends," he hopped up from the chair and held out a hand to Jenny. "I would love to dance and prove her assessment right with a spin or two around the floor," he grinned.

	Jenny/Sam

Jenny grinned, accepting the hand up from the chair. It was the most moving around she had done all night, aside from actually walking in. She had felt too out of place to do anything else except sit there. "Thanks," she said simply, giving his hand a little squeeze as they made their way away from the couch and chairs.

	Jenny/Sam

Sam smiled warmly and spun her around on the dance floor. "No problem," he said. He hated to see one of his friends looking so bored and alone at his party. "Nice moves Parry!" he said dancing to the beat of a bouncy song.

	Jenny/Sam

Jenny laughed, letting herself be spun, careful not to trip over anybody on the somewhat packed floor. "It's nice to meet a boy who likes to dance," she commented, smiling back at him. "Charlie never took me dancing, I think he thought he was too cool."

	Jenny/Sam

Sam laughed loudly at that. "The Maury re-runs huh? My crazy grandma watches it all the time, she turns into a soccer hooligan every time," he giggled.

"That's brilliant!" It wans't as if the Beauregard cheer team needed any energy but it never hurt, right? "I think we might be doing more munching on cereal than actual cheering but I'm okay with that! Vinnie... might not be," he laughed.

"Oh, mum is unreal! She laughs, she cries, she rejoices, the whole bit. She's a junkie for Oprah and Dr Phil, too. She has the PVR set to record them everyday," Jenny replied, laughing herself. Even if her mother did drive her insane lately, she was still hilarious. "She's a character, my mother."

She grinned, raising an eyebrow. "Vinnie of the iron stomach? I think the day he turns down food, I'll eat my uniform. Speaking of him, he needs to make more of those.. little pastry thingys for practice. Those are delicious!"

	Jenny/Sam

Sam laughed. "That's so intense! She sounds like a lot of fun when she's not putting you under house arrest," he grinned wide. "She would definitely get along with gram gram though. She used to make us watch all her stories with her when we were on vacation and she was babysitting us," he laughed.

"Oh man yes! That's right, those things are soo good! I love being on a team of foodies," he smiled. "House Beauregard could feed the entire school with the way we cook."

"She really is the best," Jenny replied, trailing off momentarily. She did feel bad for how short she had been with her mother lately, but really, she didn't regret it. Even a girl as patient as Jenny could only take so much smothering before she got to the end of her rope. "She's the one who got me into soap operas. What a surprise, huh? She used to have them on all day when she used to stay with me in the hospital. I think I watched more Days of our Lives and General Hospital than cartoons."

Smiling some, she gave Sam a nudge. "Plan number one, get back to school, hassle Vinnie for pastry. Agreed? Two on one, we ought to be able to take him."

He giggled. "That's hysterical. Gram made us watch her telanovelas, all Spanish soap operas, all day," he laughed. "I couldn't believe it when Sofia left Raphael for good," he joked. "I could never follow the plot lines."

"Sounds like a plan to me little lady," he nodded. "I think if you give him your big blue eyes and I give him my infamous pout we should be able to win super easy. Plan number two? We distract the other quod teams with good food and booty shaking," he said giving his own booty a goofy wiggle.

	Jenny/Sam

"I'm just lucky that my mom doesn't know that much Spanish," Jenny murmured, grinning. "Or I'd probably know all the plot lines to those too. It's really mindless entertainment, you have to let your brain just go.. following continuity is irrelevant. It's like every episode, someone is back from the dead, or they just usher in a new actor like we won't notice, or a kid who was ten on yesterday's episode is now in his early twenties overnight. It's ridiculously amusing in that respect, anyway!"

When Sam shook his booty at her, Jenny didn't stand a chance of keeping a straight face, bursting out. "If you shake it like that, you'll distract everybody! We'll be doing laps around them," she joked. "Synchronized booty shaking will happen, yes or yes?"

	Jenny/Sam

"Ahh, so that's why it never made sense," he laughed. "It's not supposed to make sense," he nodded. "I like that they can get away with it, clever soap opera writers."

Sam was glad to hear that laugh, he would gladly look the fool to make sure his friends were having a good time. He laughed. "Brilliant right? We can work on our booty shaking routine once we're all together again," he giggled.

"Right? It is the laziest form of writing ever, but I bet they get paid really well.. they don't even have to remember what happened last week, they just make it up as they go along. It's brilliant in it's own way," Jenny agreed, laughing and shaking her head. "Maybe I should try to get a job doing that after I graduate. Might be fun."

Grinning and moving slightly out of the way as a couple ushered past them, Jenny nodded. "For sure. I bet even Vinnie can get behind that one. It'll be like, new moves," she agreed."

"It's like a surprise plot line every week! You never know what you're going to get," he grinned. "Oooo! You totally should! I bet you could come up with some fantastically ridiculous plot twists! Make it interesting, throw in some alien affairs," he joked. Why hadn't soap operas touched on the alien thing yet? I would totally watch them if they did!

"If only we could nail down aerial booty shaking," he pondered. "Might not be too reasonable though," he grinned.

	Jenny/Sam

"I'd throw in all kinds of interesting plot, trust me," Jenny assured him, grinning. Even if she just wrote some of the shit going on around campus lately, that could be considered interesting enough. Though she, of course, didn't say this. Thinking about the trouble at school was the last thing she wanted to do right then. Not when she'd just been getting cheered up.

"Aerial booty shakes might be a bit more challenging. Maybe with some levitation charms? Hold us up a bit extra?"

	From: samtheman	Date: January 15th, 2011 08:04 pm (UTC)		(Link)
	Jenny/Sam

"I might start watching soap operas if you become one of their writers," he laughed.

"Ooo! That's a great idea! A nice levitation charm would work perfectly! It would give you plenty of time get a couple shakes in there," he grinned.

"I always thought I'd start with a book or two first, but I guess a soap opera would be easier.. just making it up as I go along sounds just about perfect," she joked.

Jenny nodded enthusiastically, lifting their held hands up into the air in front of them. "Right? I think I have a book with just the right charm in it and everything!"
