3rd Floor CR, Friday Morning

Jack had arranged his week to have a three-day weekend for ease of travel back and forth to Baltimore. Of course, now that he wasn't visiting Baltimore so much, it meant he had a long chunk of dead time at the end of every week. It bothered him.

Today, he was trying to fill that time in the common room. There was some rerun on the television -- a wacky doctor show, full of adults acting like children in ways intended to be humorous -- but Jack's attention was on a chess board he'd pried free from the back of the storage shelves. He didn't play chess regularly, but he was decent enough to find it a good mental exercise.

He was playing himself. Right now, the black side seemed to be winning, but Jack saw a way for his white pieces to regain their advantage.

[OOC: Open common room, natch.]

"You don't fucking know me, don't ever say you do again," Alex said pissily, getting more angry that she'd taken some good natured teasing and turned it into him joking about things she cared about.

"Pretty goddamn obvious it's mutual," she snapped, more than a little aware she was overreacting and not quite able to make herself stop.

"I never fucking said I did," Alex reminded her sharply. "And I am so fucking tired of people picking and choosing when they're going to piss on me. I hope it's worth it, you doing this to me all the time."

"Doing what to you all the time?" Rose asked. "Where the hell are you getting that from?"

Alex just threw a hand up and shook his head. "You just keep doing what you're doing since you can't get your head out of your ass to realize the truth."

"Fine, englighten me," she snapped. "Go on. You know all the answers, tell me."

"No," Alex said, shaking his head. "It's not worth it. It obviously doesn't matter to you. No. Twist my words all you want, let yourself believe so easily that I would piss on things you care about, forget about all the other shit about me I've let you see and know, and fucking shove it. You're fucking wrong and that's just it."

"Yeah, it doesn't matter to me at all," she said sarcastically. "You're right. Isn't it great."

"You're just proving it all around now, Rose," Alex said, sounding more tired than pissed off now. He stood up, flinging his water bottle towards the trash. "Fucking done with this. See you around."

He didn't wait for her to say anything else before stalking out of the common room so he could find something to drink. Or hit.

Great. Fanfuckingtastic.

Rose glared after him, half of a mind to go punch him in the face. Except that the clock caught her eye and she was late to class.

This day was awesome.
