Third Floor Common Room, Thursday Morning

[princessarcasm]

Amy wandered into the common room pretty early on Thursday, partially to make herself a cup of coffee before work and partially so she wouldn't disturb Raven with the quick phone call she had with Karma.

While she waited for the coffee to brew, she started to realize something was up. Normally, Amy didn't freely tell Karma how much she didn't miss being in Austin because it was so stressful being around everyone when she was dealing with so much stress, and how nice it was to get some space from everyone, including Karma herself. And she definitely didn't usually end her phone calls with "Love you, unfortunately."

She hung up quickly after that and then announced very loudly, "Okay, someone needs to take my phone right now. Seriously. I'm offering fifty bucks to the first person who volunteers to babysit this iPhone today."

{likely to be slow today because CASE BRIEFS ON CASE BRIEFS ON CASE BRIEFS, but soooo open.}

"Wouldn't have worked at my old school," Amy mumbled. "You would have liked it. Karma and I got popular by accident even though I hated it, because the 'alternative' kids are cool there. You're looking at a former Homecoming Queen."

Her tone made it quite clear that she didn't think that was cool at all.

"Former Homecoming Queen?" That was something Aglionby didn't have to worry about. "Wouldn't have guessed. Have fun wearing that crown?"

"I had almost no fun," Amy admitted. "I just did it to make my friend happy and now there are all these articles about us on Buzzfeed saying how revolutionary we are. I just went with it for an excuse to kiss my friend in public."

And now she was turning really red. "Fucking fuck."

"You're blushing." Because she maybe didn't know. "Must have been a helluva kiss."

Ronan was not above concentrating on Amy's issues and getting this weird day away from his own issues.

"Yeah," Amy admitted, her voice coming out sounding dreamy enough to make her hate herself. "Life-changing, but not necessarily in the best way, which brings us to my point that popularity is overrated. You don't need to go making friends in high places just for the joy of being featured on your school's Tumblr, is all I'm saying."
