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.

"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."

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]

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?"

[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?"

[smartestone]

"About a week," she answered. "I didn't have any classes to study for, which freed up some time."

[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.

Smart girls were his favorite kind. "Wow, impressive. I'm John, by the way," and he held out his hand to shake.

[smartestone]

Hermione shook his hand. "Hermione," she introduced herself. "You're new, right? I didn't just miss you?"

[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?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yup, I'm a newbie this session. How long have you been 'round here?" He leaned back in his chair cuz he knew he looked hot like that.

[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."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well, you let me know if you need a tiebreaking vote. I'm more than willing to take a look at potential cheerleaders. For the good of the school, of course," John winked at her.

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.

[smartestone]

"Just over a year now," she said. "How do you like it so far?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly smirked. "Of course. For the good of the school." She put on a thoughtful expression and tapped her chin. "We might have a tough time picking amongst the guys. You think you might wanna give them a look over?" She blinked at John innocently, but the smirk was back.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John considered that question for a moment and decided to bypass the personal aspect. "Well, I really like my workshops. I got to fly in podracer simulator yesterday, it was wicked cool. What's the best part about being here for you?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John smirked back, "Hey, I'm an equal opportunity kinda guy. Bring me some hot cheerleaders and I'll take a look."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

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."

[smartestone]

"Usually the classes," she said honestly. The dork. "But I like my roommate, and it's really sort of strange sometimes."

She even considered that last part to be a good thing.

Molly hadn't been expecting that response. She put a hand over her mouth to keep a burst of laughter contained. "Okay, Valentine, Mikey and Sokka are the guys who tried out. Do you know who they are?"
