Day three: Eat up, before things go to hell (Very open)

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 2:42 pm

Alex, still looking tired, slumped into a seat at a table. God, why the hell can't I sleep...

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 2:47 pm

Brigid had just gotten her breakfast and, spotting Alex, sighed.

Well, what have I got to lose?

Nervously, she started on her way over.

Shitshitshitshitshitshitshit oh screw it, can things really get worse?

Maybe. I'm too tired to come up with how, though.

"Hey," he said, tiredly, scooting his tray over to make room.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 2:58 pm

"...hey. Are you... okay?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:07 pm

"Yeah, just tired," he said. "I still can't get to sleep to save my life. Sleep like a rock once I'm out, but once something wakes me up, bam. It's over," he said. "How about you?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:09 pm

"I'm doing... okay, you know?"

"I guess I just... wanted to apologize."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:15 pm

Alex sighed. "Yeah, me too," he admitted. "Look, can we just do that conversation over?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:20 pm

"...sure. I mean, I was just... really frustrated and..."

"...it's hard to take when... you know."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:22 pm

"Okay, I'm not going to be running away or freaking out or anything, so can you do my tired brain a favor and just spell things out a little?" he sighed.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:23 pm

"Well, I wouldn't want any guy to be scared of me but... er..."

"...especially not you."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:26 pm

"Hell, I'm not scared of you," Alex said. "It's just... intimidating. I watch you in there, and I realize that yeah, everyone you know is like that, and I sure as hell can't be like that, and holy shit does my brain let me talk without thinking when it's too tired to tell me to shut up while I'm ahead."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:28 pm

"It was kind of a kick in the teeth. I mean, you know what my deal is and... it was like 'Surprise! He's still weirded out by it.'"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:35 pm

"I'm not weirded out by it. It's just... like... a big 'out of my league' sign. And I didn't want you to know I'd seen you because you always flip out about that stuff, and so... I just... I was dumb, okay?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:36 pm

"...I kind of did flip out."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:39 pm

"Yeah, just a little," he said, smirking a little.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:09 pm

"Which really, really didn't help my case that I'm just a normal, sane girl."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:14 pm

"Well, I think I can overlook it, but if I do that, then the next time you make me mad, I get to throw you up against a wall and kiss you. I mean, it's only fair," Alex said, chuckling weakly.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:19 pm

"I... er... didn't mean that!"

"Well... I didn't mean the shoving, at least..."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:20 pm

Alex smirked. "Oh, I dunno, you were looking pretty pissed, I'm pretty sure you meant the shoving, too."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:25 pm

"Yeah, well..." She sighed.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:26 pm

"It's okay," he said, smiling a little.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:30 pm

"There have to be better ways to deal with guys than what I've been doing."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:35 pm

"Well, you can drop this bad habit of playing like people think you're a freak, that might be good. I mean, it's not cute when Kay does it, it sure isn't cute when you do it... I mean, if you want me frustrated at you too you can keep it up, but I don't think you do. I might be wrong, though..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:45 pm

"It's... just... something I'm afraid of, you know?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:23 pm

"Well stop. If someone thinks you're a freak, they're going to think we're all freaks, and really, screw those people, right?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:30 pm

"I mostly don't want to feel weird around you guys."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:32 pm

"Then stop," he said smirking a little. "Seriously, people aren't just trying to bide their time to lull you off guard before they start calling you a freak or whatever. I know I'm sure not."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:34 pm

"Well... don't expect me to do backflips on the way to class, or anything," she smirked.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:40 pm

"Even if I say please?" he joked. "Or maybe after class?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:41 pm

"Well, I guess if you... er... seriously want to see that," she blushed.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:43 pm

He chuckled. "Okay, if you make it this fun to tease you, you're not going to be able to get me to stop."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:43 pm

"You want me to go back to hitting you?" She chuckled weakly.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:45 pm

"Well, technically you've never hit me yet," he pointed out. "Now, if that was your idea of hitting? Please. Beat the hell out of me," he added with a grin.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:49 pm

She couldn't help but laugh at that.

"You're weird, you know that?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:50 pm

He laughed. "Maaaybe. Why am I weird right now?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:54 pm

"I guess it's just the opposite end of the spectrum from worrying if you'll find it scary..."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:57 pm

"Oh, now you're afraid I'll like it? Damn, I didn't know that was a bad thing..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:59 pm

"I'm kind of thinking out loud," she smirked.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 6:03 pm

"Well, you also didn't see how I would've reacted if my brain hadn't locked up while you stormed away," Alex said innocently.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 6:07 pm

"My telepathic powers haven't come in yet," she stuck out her tongue.
