Brian/Frankie

It had been a while, but Brian finally found the person he'd come to this silly little dance to see. Watching her from across the room, he thought she looked a little sad. Or was it angry?

No, not it was sad. He frowned, weaving a careful path through the groups of chatting people until he was standing just a few feet away from Frankie and starting at her nervously. He still hadn't figured out what he wanted to say to her, but he wanted to say something.

"Um," he started, clearing his throat nervously. "Frankie?" Dumbly he just lifted the bundle of flowers up for her to see, and tried to offer his best smile. "I got these for you..."

Brian/Frankie

Frankie had a hollow feeling inside and looked down at the flowers blankly, before her eyes welled up and she burst into tears. Thankfully they were near the edge of the dance and no one really noticed.

She bent down (her heels gave her an advantage over Brian more than usual) and hugged his neck. "That's the nicest thing anyone's done for me all night" she managed to choke out.

Brian/Frankie

He froze, physically stuck between hugging her back and running away in a fit. Squeezing his eyes shut, he tried to think of happy, clean things. Going through a mental list of things his shrink was always telling him he needed to do in cases like this- to help him over come his...problems.

"Uh...Uh...You're welcome..." But he wasn't entirely sure why she was sobbing on him. Was this a normal reaction? Did girls normally do things like this when they were given flowers? "Are you okay?"

Brian/Frankie

Frankie pulled away and sniffed, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Sorry, Brian. I'm fine, I'm fine." She took a deep breath and managed a watery smile. "Do you have a tissue? I'm just feeling a little emotional."
littleredd From: [info]littleredd Date: February 14th, 2011 03:16 pm (UTC) (Link)

Brian/Frankie

Was he supposed to have hugged her back? He didn't know, even as he shook his head about the tissue. "I'll find you some..." The bathrooms were bound to have something, and he brought gloves this time.

"You just wait right here. I'll get some." He said even as he pulled out his gloves to snap on.

Brian/Frankie

Frankie squeezed his shoulder slightly to make him stop. "No, no no. It's okay, look-" she grabbed a napkin off of the refreshment table and wiped her face until she felt respectable again.

Heaving a sigh, she gave Brian a real smile this time and laughed slightly. "You must think I'm crazy" he said, stroking the fake petals of one of the flowers. "These are beautiful. Thank you so much."

Brian/Frankie

He watched her as she tidied up, smiling a little bit. Why was she so sad? Did she have food poisoning? Maybe he shouldn't eat anything from the school! No- no, stop it, stop it. He didn't want to be like that right now.

But food poisoning was a pretty serious thing.


"N-no, not crazy. I'm crazy." He assured her with a weak smile, "why are you sad? Did you get food poisoning? I could get you something to fix that."

Ginger/Sim (?) :D?

One down, two to go. Ginger smirked as her eyes found their way to the easiest target of the night. Oh, there was no doubt in her mind that Sim would be a push over to the very last minute. And to think...she'd actually thought he was cute for a bit.

Heh.

"Simmy!" She called out, dancing her way around some losers gathered around. "Heeey, baby!" She all but launched herself at Sim, arms wide with a smile lighting her face. "What'cha doing over here?"

Ginger/Sim

Sim had once again been mobbed by more freshmen and was animatedly recreating shooting spells into the sky when Ginger practically knocked him over.

"Whoa, hey." He looked at her oddly considering the last time he had seen her he had kicked her. "Just talking" he explained, pointing at the freshies and shrugging.

"What's up?"

Re: Ginger/Sim

"Oh..." She looked at the freshmen girls for a whole second, mentally wondering how they could ever exist before quickly dismissing them with a flip of her hair. Sliding around in front of him, she wrapped her arms about his neck and looked at him through her lashes. A smirk graced her lips, then, as her fingers started to run through his hair a bit playfully.

"I never got to thank you, the other night, for trying to protect me." She said softly, "I mean...Gray's such a meanie head, and you were just trying to be a nice guy, you know? Why'd he have to go bring your mom into it and all? He's such a jerk sometimes."

She sighed, a bit mournfully, leaning in to kiss his cheek softly as she started to pull away. "Are you having fun?"

Ginger/Sim

Almost automatically he was gripping her waist and smiling back at her. This was unexpected, but not unwelcome.

"Yeah, he is a jerk babe. But whatever, he said sorry and I made him a sandwich so it's cool." He wondered how in the space of five minutes he had gone from alone to having a cheerleader wrapped round him. Having fun?

"I am now" he joked, following her body as she pulled away to maintain their closeness.

Ginger/Sim

She grinned as he followed her movement. See? Easy as pie, this one. But then guys always did think with their weewees didn't they? She laughed a little, before glancing about the room and leaning in to whisper.

"You wanna go find someplace a little more...private?" She asked softly, "you know, sometimes for just the two of us?" She was certain that she could convince him of a quickie in one of the near by rooms.

Ginger/Sim

Sim looked around to scout out the chaperones then nodded immediately when they weren't watching.

"Sure" he said, taking her hand and leading her out of the hall.
mylollipop From: [info]mylollipop Date: February 13th, 2011 11:37 pm (UTC) (Link)

Ginger/Sim

Ginger giggled, looking around too as she followed Sim out of the hall. Oh this was fun, she couldn't lie.

"Where are we going?" She asked with a smile, biting her lip almost bashfully.

Tatum/Gray

There were very few ways this night could get any worse than it already had.

Tatum genuinely didn't know why she hadn't gone back to her room, except for the fleeting hope that Frankie might come back for her, and they could make up and forget this whole thing. She didn't think it was going to happen so easily or so soon, but she couldn't help hoping desperately for it.

After managing just barely to free herself from Amber's clutches, she had gone inside for a moment, hoping to see if she could find Sera. When that plan fell through, it was like another hit to the gut, and she sulked her way back out onto the commons again, frowning the whole way.

She didn't know what else to do, and she was at a loss. Without thinking much about it, she crossed the grass, heading over to where she and Frankie had smoked early, standing behind the same shrub and ducking down slightly to get another cigarette. Her one earlier had been spoiled by Amber, and it was either smoke her head off or cry her eyes out at this point, and she didn't think she could handle more crying.

When she was little, her father used to tell her that if she kept crying so much, they'd have to put her on an IV. That memory made her smile a little in spite of herself, as she inhaled deeply, unaware of anyone else around her.

Really, she either wanted to be alone, or be with Frankie. And if the latter wasn't happening, the former would have to do.

But not for long, it would seem.

Tatum/Gray

Gray was having an alright night, unlike a certain ginger who happened to be wearing the same color as him. Of course, more people would expect a girl to wear baby pink than a guy.

But he thought he looked fucking slick, and of course that was all that really mattered.

He'd just come back from trying to chat up one of the Sonnier cheerleaders who was on her way back to her dorm. She giggled and touched his arm and did all the sort of normal girl things... and then kissed him goodnight. At the door.

He'd totally get some next time, he smirked to himself, unlit cigarette already dangling between his lips. It was only when he got to the only really concealed smoking spot outside of the woods that he spotted Tatum.

He raised his eyebrows in an awkward greeting, mumbling 'hi' as best as he could with a cigarette in his mouth. Of course, it came out more like a surprised "Aye."

Tatum/Gray

Tatum had not really known Gray was there until he was already right across from her. How did people keep doing that to her tonight? She stared a little blankly at him when he mumbled in her direction, what she figured must have been a greeting. She took a drag from her own cigarette, turning her head a bit to exhale.

She found herself crossing her arms, unconsciously taking on that same defensive position from the fight earlier. Feet set, arms crossed, and stony faced. "Hey," she murmured back. "Why are you out here by yourself?" she asked, genuinely a little bit surprised. She would have expected him to have picked Frankie up by now. Maybe he didn't know they weren't speaking.
gregoire From: [info]gregoire Date: February 14th, 2011 05:10 pm (UTC) (Link)

Tatum/Gray

Was that a trick question or something? Gray looked a little surprised, raising an eyebrow at her before taking a moment to light his cigarette.

"Uh... there was a cheerleader?" He pointed in the direction of Sonnier House, looking more perplexed. She looked upset. Definitely upset. She was totally making angry girlfriend face.

"...Are you okay?"
porcelinaofvast From: [info]porcelinaofvast Date: February 14th, 2011 05:16 pm (UTC) (Link)

Tatum/Gray

If she had been surprised before, she was surprised again when he actually asked her if she was all right. Was that a trick question? He did seem actually clueless to the situation. That was a good sign. Frankie hadn't ran directly into his arms at least.. perhaps she was just waiting for later.

That thought made her stomach twist again, and she felt her eyes beginning to fill. She kept her head partially turned, puffing at the cigarette, and keeping her chin up. "Not really," she finally answered, reaching her free hand up to swipe at her eyes briefly. "Not tonight."

Why was she even answering him?

gregoire From: [info]gregoire Date: February 15th, 2011 07:53 pm (UTC) (Link)

Tatum/Gray

"Oh... kay?" Gray eyed her a little, his eyebrows still raised. Tatum was Frankie's girlfriend, or so he thought, and you were nice to your friend's girlfriends, right?

If this were Rowan or Sunny... He would talk to her, right? Try to make nice, or whatever.

"Something happen?" He asked idly, breathing out a cloud of smoke. Was this like, a girl thing? Like... PMS, or having just seen The Notebook or something like that.
porcelinaofvast From: [info]porcelinaofvast Date: February 15th, 2011 08:20 pm (UTC) (Link)

Tatum/Gray

He quickly confirmed her earlier suspicions that he was clueless, and she immediately felt a little bit better. "You didn't hear?" she asked quietly, glancing at him and taking a small drag. She had been hoping Amber had been exaggerating with the everybody heard it routine, and maybe she had been.

"I got in a fight," she admitted. "Sort of," she quickly added, scuffing her feet on the ground slightly as she spoke, watching them instead of him. She didn't know why he was even bothering to ask. "It's over now, I'm fine."

Except, of course, that she wasn't. It was hard keeping it together, but at least with her head down, he wouldn't notice her eyes watering as she spoke. If he had to feign sympathy for her, it would just be awkward for both of them.

Apple/Open

Apple had been having a great time at the dance and it had nothing to do with the music or the dancing at all. It was great to be with For now he had to stop though and tie his sneakers in one of the chairs off to the side. Once his shoe was tied he figured now was better than ever for a little smoke outside. He headed for the back doors, having to scamper around two quibbling freshmen girls in the middle of the room.

Apple/Open

Charlie was already blazed by the time he actually got into the hall, most of the evening had been spent outside. Spotting a familiar face, he stopped behind Apple, stupid grin plastered across his face.

"Hey man, going for a smoke?" he asked, following him outside.
meandmyuke From: [info]meandmyuke Date: February 22nd, 2011 07:19 pm (UTC) (Link)

Apple/Charlie

"You know it bro," Apple said with a little smirk. He turned to give Charlie's hand a shake. "Enjoying the lovely night?" he asked as they walked a bit further away from the dance.
