Jackalope Campfire, Saturday Afternoon

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Besides the hangover, John was feeling pretty good today.  He'd grabbed his book, still on page three, and went outside to bask in the calm Virginia sunshine.  Sadly not topless as he is the furry.   John was sure it would be a good day, all cabinmate issues aside.

Hermione had been wandering around just because she'd spent too much time indoors this week, and she had to stop when she got to Jackalope.

"I'm always impressed when I see someone here reading of their own free will," she said.

Hence the stopping.

John peered at the girl interrupting his pathetic attempt to read, "Uh, yeah. I've been trying to get this one started for a while." Yep, still on page three.

[smartestone]

"What are you reading?" she wondered, stepping a little closer.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"War and Peace, I hear it's pretty good, but I'm only on page three." John admitted with a smile.

[smartestone]

"That's pretty ambitious for most people," said Hermione, sounding impressed. "It can be a little hard to get through at parts."

John liked to play dumb so he smiled and said with a serious look, "Yeah, the first two pages took me all last month. It was rough there for a while, but once I got a dictionary, it started making a little bit more sense. How long did it take you to read it?"

After cheerleader tryouts, Molly decided to see who was out at the campfire. She waved when she saw John ans walked over.

"Hey! How's it going? Did Chad find you?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Happy to see her again, John motioned for her to have a seat. "Hey LA Molly! Yeah, Chad found me the other day." He grinned, "What are you up to this fine afternoon?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly went over and sat down. "I just got done with cheerleader tryouts and now I'm chatting with you!" she said with a grin.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John pouted, "I missed watching cheerleader tryouts! I knew there was something I needed to do this morning. How'd they go?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Awwww, we'll have tryouts again in the fall," Molly told him consolingly. "You can watch then. They are going went pretty good this time. Lots of people came to tryout. Picking is going to be hard."

Turtle plopped down on a log around the campfire with her own reading material, today's Wall Street Journal, ceremoniously opening up and looking at with a very important air. Hum hum hum. All she needed to complete the image was a cup of coffee, but coffee was gross. She did have a pink lemonade, though.

John watched the businesslike manner of the girl and decided she must be one of the other roommies in B side. "Hey, I'm John, I live in A-4. I don't think we've met yet."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle lowered the paper just enough so that her eyes peeked over the top as she looked at John. "Turtle Wexler," she said, then leaned forward to offer her hand. "Good to meet another cabinmate."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John shook Turtle's hand. "Ahh, a Turtle who's not physically a turtle. It's good to meet you too. Fine day for some reading, huh?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle rolled her eyes a little. "For the record, I was here first."

After cheerleading tryouts, Annette decided to be reflective out at the preserve, staring out over the water cause she was in a reflective sort of mood. Just to be alone and...reflect.

On her way, she passed John. And she could not not say hello. How rude.

So, "Hi, John."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon, Annette. How's life been treating you?" Obviously very well considering Annette was looking hot as usual.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She shrugged her shoulders and mumbled an, "Okay I guess. Whatcha reading?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John didn't think Annette sounded quite herself, but he let it go, not being one for talk of feelings. "War and Peace, a very difficult book for my poor brain to get behind."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"...and one in which you have to use every single brain cell to think and reflect over each and every word." Annette might be stuck on reflect today.

"Am I interrupting?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

There just may have been a pair of eyes glaring over the top edge of a newspaper. Ones that would very quickly be buried behind said newspaper again if Annette looked that way.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette looked that way and mumbled something or other about smelling something stinky.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle rolled her eyes. Oh, yeah, real mature, Annette. She cleared her throat and went back to her very mature and very professional reading that a stupid blonde like Annette would probably never even be able to understand.

If Turtle happened to look back over at Annette, she would see the very cute blonde scratching her nose with her middle finger.
