Fourth Floor Common Room | Friday Late Evening | 9/4

Hayley was having trouble sleeping again. She'd tried everything. Counting jumping sheep, counting sheep jumping in a minefield, the usual sort of thing. None of it was working. So Hayley padded out to the common room in her bright pink pajamas (thank you, Elle).

She turned on the TV, only to discover late night re-runs of Vanessa Saturn. Wow, TV had change a lot since her time...

[[Open to one and all]]

[[eta: collapsing asleep now, folks. Will pick up SP tags tomorrow, if that's okay.]]

Most of what was inside Hayley was also mush. Not the same kind, however.

"Didja think I wouldn't make it?" she said.

"Well," Cal said, shrugging a little, "I wouldn't say that. But I've been here long enough to have general doubts. Most people do get it through the first week fine enough."

"But you thought I might be special?" Hayley said, grinning at him.

She was special, all right. Cal snorted, shaking his head.

"Just take the damn congratulations, or I'm taking it back."

Hayley laughed. "I'll take whatever you give me!" she aid, cheery.

Part of Cal had to wonder if she was saying some of this stuff on purpose. And if she really meant it, because he did sort of have something to give that no one else on his island had. That he was aware of.

"Good," he said. "And you really did survive right? Any close calls?"

"Not a one," Hayley said. "I mean, even the school shrink didn't make a fuss with me."
