I11DT - Avoiding Homework

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:15 am

Theresa crashed on a common room couch with her laptop. She was watching some sort of video on the screen that at a glance might involve garden statuary and someone uttering the phrase "timey-wimey".

((Open))

"Man those things freak..." Steve said as he walked up, promptly losing his ability to speak as he saw who was sitting there.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 12:51 pm

"Did you just blink?" She said, turning to look and see who it was. The room was suddenly filled with an awkward silence, punctuated only by the noise from her laptop.

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 12:54 pm

"Oh... uhh..." he began. More silence followed.

Talk damn it!

"Hey... Theresa."

Smooooth.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 12:58 pm

"Hey, Steve." After a pause, "How's it going?"

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:05 pm

"It's... okay I guess."

"You?" he added as if he was reluctant to hear the answer.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:16 pm

"Doing pretty well. Trying to avoid working on my math homework at the moment."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:23 pm

"Eww. Math," he said, looking as if he tasted something rotten.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:24 pm

"It's not too bad. I just don't want to do it."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:29 pm

"The Doctor is always better than math," he smirked.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:31 pm

"You're a Who fan?" She seemed a little surprised.

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:41 pm

"I like it yeah..." he admitted.

"What of it?" he added, long trained to be automatically defensive about such things.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:46 pm

"Hey, chill," Theresa said, putting up her hands, "Nothing wrong with it at all, just wouldn't have figured you for one, that's all."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:58 pm

"Why not?" he asked, defensiveness diminishing now.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 2:02 pm

"You strike me as more of the jock type and I don't know of many of those who were sci-fi fans."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:42 pm

"Well now you know one, though back home I wouldn't have admitted it."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:44 pm

"Sounds sort of familiar."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:46 pm

"It does?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:49 pm

"Yeah... though it's a bit more serious than admitting you like space ships in front of your sports buddies." She seemed reluctant to dig deeper into the subject.

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:54 pm

"Coming out as a mutant?" he asked, his own choice of words bringing out an 'open mouth, insert foot' expression on his face.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:59 pm

"That sort of happened on its own and it was just the last nail in the social coffin."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:44 pm

"Was the other..." he began, suddenly shutting up.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 8:28 pm

She sighed, "Yeah, the other was what you probably think it is." She pushed a button on her laptop, stopping the video.

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 10:16 am

He sighed too. "Listen. I don't... I don't have any problem with... well, you know... I just..."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 10:36 am

"You certainly looked like you had a problem with it with the other day. Look, I know how they see this sort of thing back home. I don't like it, but I know how it is."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 12:43 pm

"No! I... wanted to ask you out..."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:08 pm

"Oh! Oh..." Theresa fidgeted for a minute, "I'm flattered, but... well..."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:25 pm

"... yeah..." he said awkwardly, "Guess I totally misread that one, huh?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:32 pm

"Yeah, sort of. You're a nice guy and all... but well... you're a guy." She quickly added, "I'm still happy to be friends and stuff if you are."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 3:38 pm

"Me too," he answered, "Besides, I've lost enough friends."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 4:50 pm

She held out her hand, "I'll still get you that moon base when I rule the world."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 4:58 pm

He shook her hand. "Awesome deal."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 5:16 pm

"Hey, I always hold up my end of the bargain. It may just take some time."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 6:40 pm

"I suddenly feel I should've asked for a TARDIS."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 6:42 pm

"Too late, deal's made," she grinned.

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 6:45 pm

"Oh well, fewer evil living statues this way," he chuckled.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 6:55 pm

"Indeed," she said, covering her eyes Weeping Angel-style. "And since you chose the moon and not Mars, no creepy water sickness."

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 6:58 pm

"Man, Mars is just full of nasties."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 7:40 am

"Apparently," Theresa said, chuckling. "Want to finish this episode with me?"

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Mar 20, 2013 10:09 am

"Sounds like fun," he nodded.
