Room 212, Tuesday afternoon

After talking with Jamie last night, Cassandra had taken his advice and gone to the gym to work out some aggression. She must have had a lot of aggression because she didn't make it back to the room until around noon.

She was just toweling her hair dry after a long hot shower while frowning at her closet thinking that she should probably find some way to obtain more clothes. Only having three outfits made for frequent trips to the laundry room.

Jack knocked on the door, hoping she was in.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
She turned, poking her head out from behind the closet door so she could see the door to the room, "Yes?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hi." he waved. "Is the rest of you here?" He was trying to make a joke. There couldn't be disembodied heads flying around here, right?

Cassandra didn't get it, and her expression made that clear, "Huh?" She stepped out from behind the door, still not having decided what to wear instead of her tank top and sweatpants. "What do you mean?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm just making sure that you're still attached to your body. Cuz it's nice. The body. And the head. And them going together like that." Boy, he looks nervous. "You wanna go to Homecoming with me?" he blurted. Manfully.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do I what?" she frowned, not really understanding the question.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wanna go to Homecoming. As my date." He stood up straight, all false confidence and worry.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't understand. As your... date?" The word seemed to have a lot of connotations, and Cassandra was having trouble picking up on all of them. Jack's nervous body language didn't help.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"A date. You've had a date before, right? Or... have you had a Homecoming? Dancing, dressy clothes, flowers, my tie matches your dress?" He tried to explain. It involved hand gestures from a good deal away.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't... think so?" Cassandra wasn't even sure if she'd ever worn a dress at all before. And was sure she hadn't been on a date.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh. Well, then, would you like to go with me? To the dance. In a dress. I'll wear a suit?" he kinda pleaded.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't have a dress," she temporized.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"You don't have a dress? Can't you borrow one or get one here on the island?"

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"I... don't know? I've... never trie to before." Ever.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"So if I get you a dress, or if you get a dress, then you'll go?"

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe... What is it again?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"The dress? Or Homecoming? IT's a dance."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
"So... you'll go with me?" In a dress.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
"I... what's this date thing again?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Date thing? Like, when a girl and a guy go on a thing together?"

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
"A thing? Like..." Cassandra frowned, "Like working together to beat someone up?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Not...so much? You don't know what a date is?" He 's not being insulting, just...curious.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess not," she said. "I... don't know a lot of stuff."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
He blinked. "It's... where a guy and a gal get to know each other. Dinner, a movie, backseat of a Camaro, stuff like that. And a goodnight kiss."

Yes, he went for the gold.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Cassandra's face drew up into a semi-scowl, "That doesn't sound like much fun."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Goodnight kiss doesn't sound like fun?" Blink.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Her face scrunched up a bit more, "No."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
He tilted his head. He was clearly confused. "Have you ever had one? Maybe it wasn't done right." He liked goodnight kisses.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Cassandra stepped back reflexively to put some distance between them. "No."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
He stepped back. "You want one?" He already knew the answer was no with her stepping back like that.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"No." Her voice had gone completely flat. Dangerously so. Almost as if she'd taken his offer as a threat.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
He sighed. "Well, can't say I didn't try," he said, leaning against the doorway, arms crossed.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
She didn't reply, settling instead on simply staring at him coldly.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Cassandra eyed Jack for a long silent moment, but eventually spoke, voice still flat, "Maybe I'll see you there."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"As my date?" His voice was flat, too.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
She just went back to staring at him. It wasn't a very welcoming stare.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
He was returning the stare. Or at least her gaze. He quirked an eyebrow.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Please leave," her voice was soft.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Friends?" he asked softly.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe." Her face softened just a bit, "Ask me again later."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll be--" he jerked his thumb over his shoulder. "I will." He took a step back into the hall, lingering a bit.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Cassandra took a deep breath and settled onto her bed. She knew Jack hadn't meant any harm, hadn't known what he was asking, not really. But... There were a lot of old memories there, and... Well, maybe someday she could explain it.
