Lobby - All Day

[proudsidekick.livejournal.com]

Layla headed down to the lobby as early as she could to set up the tables for Prom ticket buying and Prom Court nominations.

She didn't go crazy with the glitter, but there was definitely more of it scattered around than there had been yesterday. Not that she was hoping the Fandom effects of glitter would happen to any of the boys who came by, of course.

[OOC: Open! It's the same deal as yesterday - only Juniors and Seniors can buy Prom tickets though they can bring underclassmen. Prom Court nominations are open for all students, regardless of class. And the handbook has a list of the Juniors and Seniors.]

"Well," Sokka began, and then stopped. No names. Nothing traceable back to him. "...I haven't decided yet. But trust me, I'll have someone by Saturday."

"Well, if you're looking for a date, I know no one's asked my roommate yet...but I probably shouldn't say anything. I think Evie has her eye on someone specific."

"You're Evie's roommate???" Sokka squeaked. So much for avoiding Layla during the dance. He coughed and shook his head. "I mean, yes, okay, I'll keep that in mind. So... The tickets, please?"

Layla glanced around for a moment, trying to come up with an excuse to give him so she wouldn't get in trouble for selling tickets to someone she wasn't supposed to. In the end, she opened the cash box and gave him her most sincere sad look. "Uh oh. I think Peter forgot to put the tickets in here. I don't have them! You're going to have to come back and buy them tomorrow. I'm really sorry."

So it's come to this again, has it?

Sokka slid a twenty onto the table. "You're sure there aren't any in there?"

"I'm sure," Layla said, looking a little offended as she slid the money back to him. "And Student Council members can't be bribed."

Ah, but then there's the OTHER approach. Which he should have tried before bribery. Ahh, hindsight.

"Okay, look," he said, in a calm, even, 'okay, I'm being serious now' tone of voice. "Let's start this over. Hi, I'm Sokka. Zuko really doesn't deserve tickets to anything, if he ever even does come back. But I'd really like to take Evie to the dance."

He paused. "Er... She's not on the list, is she? I don't think so, but..."

"No, she's not, 'cause she's a sophomore too," Layla said, sounding more genuinely sad than before. "If it makes you feel any better, she'd totally go with you if you guys found a way into the dance."

Sokka sighed. "Eh, well. I'll keep trying." He shrugged and headed for the stairs, wondering who'd be selling tickets tomorrow.

Layla sighed and wondered if she should leave a note for whoever was working the table tomorrow. In the end, she decided not to; Sokka deserved another chance, especially if he was going to take Evie.
