3rd Floor Common Room- Monday evening

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Annie had had a weird last week, and this one wasn't exactly off to a normal start, either. Sure, the weekend had been seriously messed up, what with smuggling alcohol and making out with someone she'd never even talked to before and oh yeah, dying from trying coffee just once, but at least it was over.

Then she'd woken up in a supply closet.

And then she'd gone back to the common room to retrieve her backpack from last night before going to class, and found alcohol in it. A lot of it.

At first she'd just hidden it in her room, and as long as she was away from there, it was fine. But when she'd gone back after class, she found she couldn't concentrate because she knew it was there. It wasn't that she wanted it. It was just that even in a town where Caritas didn't card and she'd reported on students smoking pot and drinking, she became really worried that she'd get in trouble for having it. Add in worry about going to tomorrow's NA meeting and wanting to share but all she had was that she got addicted to something and died from it and again with having the alcohol and then she started feeling stressed and guilty.

That was when Annie panicked and checked to make sure no one was in the common room yet, then dragged the bags of alcohol bottles to the kitchen area. And now all she had to do was pour them down the sink...

[Yes another dorms post. I know, and I'm sorry, now for the love of god, SOMEONE STOP HER.]

"Some stupid government social worker type signed me up for half my classes, and there I am. Being confused and afraid I'm going to flunk for the first time in years." Kenzi grimaced, glaring at the bottle. "Wes has ethics, though. So if I go too far over the line, he just won't play. Big goody two-shoes."

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"There's nothing wrong with having ethics," said the goody two-shoes... who would had a habit of keeping hers a little flexible when need be.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Oh, sure, for you, that works." The way you'd say, You're a winter, you can wear those colors, they just wash me out. "For me? Pfft." Kenzi sighed and said, "I was going to nominate another person for the StuCo race now that Wes is all apologizing to Quinn, but he'd probably just drop out if I did. Damnit." See? Ethics! Who needed that crap!

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"No. There will be no nominating anyone else," Annie said seriously, because those ethics might disappear just long enough to kill Kenzi in her sleep at this rate. One broadcasted bathroom crying session was bad enough. "Wait, why's he apologizing?"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"I don't know! Because I nominated him without asking, and he thinks Quinn wants it more? Because she's pushy and she probably got in his face about it and he decided I was the bad guy?" Kenzi pouted. "So not fair. I was trying to help." And annoy the heck out of Quinn. "She looked stupid in that bridesmaid's gown, anyway."

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Soooo, not a Quinn fan," she gathered.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"She's got a stick up her ass to match Wes's," Kenzi said frankly. "Not a bad person, but... dude. Way too too too uptight. And takes herself too seriously. Who threatens to turn someone in for throwing Jell-O?" The proper response was to throw back!

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, her answer about the bathroom graffiti during the debate was a little much," Annie agreed. And she was pretty uptight. See also trying to dump the alcohol. "It's paper."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi grumbled some more. And then the grumbles turned thoughtful. "You really want this too, don't you? Wes said something about that." Nervous breakdowns, which Kenzi now felt the teensiest bit guilty for, since she hadn't even talked to Annie before now.

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah," Annie shrugged. She didn't know why it felt weird to tell people that. It was like if she admitted it and something went wrong, then people would know she was disappointed. "I wouldn't be trying for it if I didn't."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

It would really, really really really annoy Quinn if Annie suddenly had a few more posters, right?

"...do you need some more help?" Kenzi said carefully. Hastily she added, "Not quitting Wes's. But. Maybe another Twitter ad or poster or two, to help out?"

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Annie's eyebrows shot up, because what. "You'd help me out?"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Sure." Kenzi grinned, starting to look happy and evil again. "I mean, if there were four people, I'd feel like I had to stick by only Wes here. But I'm not running, and Wes messed up my annoying-Quinn plans. He can just deal."

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

"I guess some extra help wouldn't hurt..." And if everyone found out it was Kenzi that was helping when she was helping Wesley, that could really just work in Annie's favor, she figured. "Thanks."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Sure! Let me know if I can do anything specific, okay?"

Pay no attention to what might be concealed in the back of Kenzi's waistband now, Annie. You'll probably be happier that way.
