Fifth floor common room, Thursday afternoon

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was making an attempt not to be emo.

No, seriously, she really was. That's why she wasn't on the roof. Well, that, and because it looked like it was going to rain, and being on the roof in the rain would be, like, doubleplusmegasuperemo, more emo than even she could stomach right now.

So she was lying on the floor listening to Hannah Montana, doodling in her notebook, and pondering the mysteries of what it must be like to be a teenaged pop star and try to have a normal life.

That actually helped. Because whatever she was doing, at least it wasn't trying to do a world tour while attending high school. . . .

John was wandering around, wondering what the hell was going on in his life.

Nadia offered him a wave from her spot on the floor.

"Yo, Santos. What's shakin?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Absolutely nothing. Trying not to think too much. You?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Trying not to think at all. Thinking is bad." He plops down near her. "Effin' Fandom."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeeee-ep. Drags you in with friends and a home-like feeling and adventure, and then rips your heart out of your chest when people leave."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yeah! Don't even tell you til the last minute! ANd they say they're coming back but they never do!"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia sighed. "Or you find out way too soon and spend weeks agonizing over it and it gets pushed back and you start to think maybe it won't happen and then it does and they're leaving forever and it hurts even more."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. That sucks more. She's supposed to come back. I don't think she is."

He turns to his pseudo-once-future-half-sister-in-law. "Booze?"

Cally wandered in, wearing her birthday present from Mac.

"Hey John, Nadia."

[nadiathesaint]

"Hi, Cally,"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"What's up?" Cally asked.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "Trying not to be emo."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Awww crap," Cally said. "Did I miss him leaving?"

[nadiathesaint]

"He left on Monday."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Frak," Cally said. "You need a hug?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged again. She'd gotten several, but she didn't really feel she should say no.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Uh-oh," Cally said. "You need something else?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yo," he said, lookingn at her shirt.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Cally said. "You are reading my shirt and not trying to stare at my boobs, right?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I can't do both?" he asked, innocently.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally rolled her eyes. "This is why I don't date boys."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Same here. No matter what you hear. So what's new?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally raised an eyebrow. "That sounded like guilt."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Nope. No guilt. Or shame. Cuz that'd be if something happened. Which it didn't."
