The Roof [Thursday evening]

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

So. She was really, obviously,stupid to think that things would be different here, right? Like...she could just have friends here, and be happy, and oh, god, last week she'd had a party and people had come and no one had made fun of her or paid her at all, and she had a homecoming date, and --

Well. Probably not, anymore. Olive was back to feeling just as ostracized as she had back in Ojai. And it wasn't even that she was embarrassed about what she'd done -- that was a little bit of it, sure. But the reason she was up here on the roof, crying, her knees tucked up to her chest -- and crap, now the cliches were following her, too -- was that she'd gotten used to things just being...normal here. And now the whole thing had followed her after all, and there was a common room of people she actually cared about laughing at her all trussed up in lingerie, who all knew about all of the lying.

So, yeah. Cliche or not, she would just sit here and feel sorry for herself, and then run back down to her room and pack her things before Karolina could notice she was gone. Or something. That didn't seem like the most intelligent course of action, but she couldn't think clearly at the moment.

[totally open, obviously.]

"You have a fantastic imagination."

But hey, it seemed to be getting Olive's mind off the common room a little.

"His name's Atton."

See, her imagination was awesome.

"Have you mentioned any of this rampant, insane fantasy of yours to him?" Sia wondered.

On one hand, she really hoped not. On the other hand, she should not have to go through this alone.

"Not as such," Olive said vaguely.

Wasn't that vagueness alarming?

[notconflicted]

YES.

"Which means what?"

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

Olive shrugged exaggeratedly. "I didn't say anything explicitly."

[notconflicted]

"What have you said not explicitly?"

She was almost even expecting that Olive hadn't said anything at all and was just messing with her.

"I have not explicitly told him how you want to seduce him."

Well. It was true.

[notconflicted]

"You haven't said a word, have you."

"You wanna take that chance?"

[notconflicted]

"...What chance am I even taking?" Sia asked, trying not to smile.

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

"That he knows of your intentions and he's waiting for you to make the first move?" Olive tried.

[notconflicted]

"I have no intentions," Sia reminded her.

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

"Sure." It was hard to wink effectively when you'd been crying, but Olive was gonna try anyway.
