Cheerleading [3/11]

Joan was more than a little freaked out by the scary things attacking from the sky when she got to the gym and started setting up for cheer practice.

Days like these she kind of wished she had some supernatural ability. Of course, she had faith that God wouldn't let anything happen to her. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to harass her.

At any rate, there was cheesy 80s pop music blaring through the speakers and mats out so no one would get hurt.

Joan laughed. "We managed to sway a few into joining us."

Jess smirked. "Gosh, I can't imagine what might have drawn them in," he said with a healthy touch of sarcasm.

"Think we can convince you to try out next time?"

"Barring any kind of school-record tragedy, I'm going to be graduating this year." That idea didn't seem any more real when he said it out loud. "So, I'll have to decline."

"Aw, too bad," Joan teased. "You'd look great in one of those skirts."

"I'm not taking that as a compliment, for the record," Jess teased. "Oh, hey, I almost forgot, I meant to find you after Valentine's Day. One of the flower orders you sent got screwed up, and I got it instead."

Joan frowned. "I double checked everything three times."

Then she remembered that He had sent flowers on her behalf and tried not to groan.

"It's okay," Jess said quickly. "It's not your fault. I just wanted you to know that they didn't get where they were supposed to go."

"Actually, I, uh... did send you flowers," Joan said, looking sheepish.

Despite how often he acted like a jerk, Jess didn't usually feel like one, but this moment was a surprising exception. "You did? I mean, thanks," he said. "They were nice. I just wasn't expecting them."

Joan shrugged. "It wasn't a big deal. I sent flowers to a lot of people."

She realized the moment the words were out that she sounded like an idiot for saying that.

"It was still nice to be included. I didn't think I'd be on anyone's list," he said, hoping that didn't sound as pathetic to Joan as it did to him.

"You were one of the first people I met here," she reminded him. "And I hardly ever see you."

"Is that something you want to change?" Jess asked, genuinely curious.

Joan shrugged. "I wouldn't mind hanging out with you."

"I wouldn't mind hanging out with you either," Jess said. "I've been thinking, you know, maybe I should make more of the time I have here." It was a thought he'd never imagined he'd have, but she didn't need to know that.

"Makes sense," Joan said. "I don't think you're gonna find another place like this one."
