Looking for one good TV show - 2nd floor common room

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker is wearing her "No, you may not have a f*ckig cigarette" T-shirt and a set of stretch pants, about as casual as she gets. She's flipping channels, exhausted and trying to process everything that's gone on tonight.

Like Callisto singing Big Spender, for one.

And her dad not showing, for the other.

Quinn flops into an armchair. "Don't worry, I'm not staying long," she says.

Parker blinks at her, pulled out of the Julia Roberts-Dennis Quaid interaction onscreen. "What?" She shakes her head. "Stay as long as you like."

"If you see my parents around tomorrow, can you just... say something nice about me?" Quinn asks.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker turns wide eyes on Quinn. "I... sure?" Then she frowns. "Like what? You participate in class?"

[sooo_cute]

"You're not my teacher," she says. "Just that... I don't know. I'm fun to hang around with or something. And then run away before they can start being involved parents."

Parker begins, entirely against her will, to smile. "That bad, hunh?"

[sooo_cute]

Quinn pulls her feet under her. "I haven't really done a lot, you know? And they're expecting something and I'm not actually in the place that they're expecting me to be in, and now I'm stuck being this huge loser and it's all bad. It's this whole expectation thing, you know?"

Callisto staggers into the common room and flings herself across the nearest couch. She's still dressed in her non (http://img491.imageshack.us/img491/151/menspant056hh.jpg)-armour (http://img491.imageshack.us/img491/5576/mensshirt089js.jpg) clothes.

"Gods, kill me now."

Parker stops on Rain Man, and nods, studying Quinn. "Yeah. I know. Expectations are a stone bitch." She fiddles with the remote. "What do they expect you to be? Class president? Straight A student? A cheerleader? If that's it, it's not your fault. We don't have any teams to cheer for."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I would," Parker says with sympathy. "But I'm too wiped. Rain check?"

Jack follows in shortly after Callisto. He's wearing a pair of old jeans and a baseball jersey. (http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=113) He flops down on a couch and procedes to state the obvious.

"This is going to be a long weekend."

[sooo_cute]

"Cheerleading? Ew, no, you get sweaty doing that," Quinn says. "And those costumes might look cute to drooling boys, but... pleats? No thank you."

She shrugs. "Daria's the brain, and I'm supposed to be popular. It's my thing."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah." Parker voice is full of feeling. "It's already goddamn long. Murray and his amazing biceps aside."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Ah," Parker says in comprehension. "And this place is not exactly... conducive, to that. Is it."

[sooo_cute]

"It's hard to be popular here when you don't have fangs or fur or wear skanky clothing." She shakes her head. "This is a weird school."

"I'll take what I can get." Unlacing her boots, Callisto kicks them off. "Parker, do you think Lee would mind if I did something to his father?"

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Jack lets a loud sigh and dropshis head back onto the couch.

"You know, I think you may have confused him tonight. He's still not used to the whole 'being hit on' thing."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Extremely." Parker flips channels to the TV Guide channel. "I'll tell them we hang out. Sometimes? Would that work?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Consiering he didn't even show to say 'hi' to the guy, I'm guessing no." Parker smirks. "And I read the note he wrote to invite him to this shindig. He might even thank you, if he gets to watch."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto nods at Jack. "Hey."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"It's time someone un-confused him, then. He's far too hot to walk around ignorant of the fact."

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"Promise me I can be around when you try it, I don't think I'd ever get over it if I missed that."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I'll make sure to beep you before I do it. Hey, if I can tell Lee Adama he has hot arms, I can tell Murray he's built like..."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"The nerve. 'Hi, I've just met you but already I know enough to comment on your relationship or lack thereof with this other person I've just met.'"

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"And that is where we stop that sentence! I just don't think I can deal with whatever compairson you're about to make and if my brain explodes this early I will haunt you ass."
