2nd Floor Common Room: Tuesday Evening

Miley was perched on the couch watching TV and trying not to look guilty. She didn't want to hurt Liz, but she was hoping that the students just wouldn't care. After all, the whole thing with Alex had blown over without too much fuss.

Looking around, Miley made a mental checklist. Snack food to encourage people to stop and chat. Discovery Channel special on worst fire disasters playing on TV. Notebook with ideas of how to get back at Steerpike for his blackmail.

Yup, she was ready to do this thing.

*step*thump*step*thump*

The sounds of someone attempting to move casually with a pegleg fill the hall outside as Billy happens by.

"Hey." Miley waved as Billy came in and she pointed at the snacks. "Want some snacks?"

"Sure." he agreed. There were few moods that snacks didn't go with. Missing a leg was not one of them. "Thanks. I'm not sure we've actually met have we?"

"I think I've seen you around." Miley shrugged, wondering if it would be easier to spread rumors with strangers. Looking at the screen, she gave a melodramatic shudder. "Wow, fire is scary."

"Yeah same here."

Billy hadn't noticed what was on, and looked. And winced. "Geeze they'll do anything for ratings won't they."

Miley wasn't really sure how to do this subtly, so she just dived into it. "Yeah, some people are dangerous...like that girl, Liz."

"...Excuse me?" he asked cautiously, his face blank.

"I hear that set fire to the principal's tower or something." Miley said, trying to sound like she was spreading a juicy bit of gossip. "Dangerous, right?"

"Where'd you hear that?" Billy asked, thoughts racing.

"Oh, I don't know, some boy." Miley flailed. "But that's creepy, right? I certainly don't want some pyro running around the school."

"Huh. Well, you know, rumors have to be taken with a grain of salt." he cautioned.

[identity profile] otherside-miley.livejournal.com 2007-04-25 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, yeah, I know." Miley nodded. "Seriously, don't believe everything you hear."

Miley paused. "Except for this. You can believe this."

"Uh...huh. Well, thanks for the snacks. I got some studying to do." He rose with a bit of difficulty. Stupid peg leg.

"Feel free to spread the word about Liz!" Miley called after him, facepalming a bit. Steerpike needed a good old fashioned Southern whoopin.
