Thursday (Nov 4) - Breakfast is NEVER awkward

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

Christie stood there, looking very confused.

"I just want to know what I did wrong to piss you off so much..." she says meekly as they walk over.

Regan rolled her eyes, "Really? It's that much of a mystery?"

"How much did breaking up with Theresa suck?" Regan asks.

"Oh my god, shut up for a second and listen," Regan says, "You may not have known. But she did."

Regan glares at Christie.

"Yeah, I did." Christie said "So what? I'd liked Kay for a long time, before I even knew if she liked girls. I didn't even know that for sure until she was dating Theresa. So yeah, I asked her out, and I helped her when she needed it."

"Awww. How adorable. So romantic," Regan says, "Were you planning on telling me at any point? Or was I the backup in case you didn't get your chance with Kay?"

"I thought that I should find out what Kay wanted before I started telling the world I was into her." Christie said "And I didn't want to be a total asshole to you."

Theresa wandered in, her eyes immediately drawn to the elephant in the room. Giving them plenty of space, she grabbed her breakfast and wandered over to Haley and Alex. "That looks serious," she said quietly. Her eyes were still glowing green energy, which made it really hard to tell where she was actually looking.

Alex glanced at her, and while his expression wasn't exactly friendly, he (as usual) didn't seem to be one to go looking for pointless fights. "Yyyyeah... this one's probably going to be ugly." Shit. And now something to draw their attention this way... great...

Theresa motioned to an empty spot across from him. "May I sit?" She quickly added, "I can go somewhere else if you'd rather. Just say so."

He frowned a second, then gestured at a different chair that wasn't Regan's. Just in case.

She sat in the indicated chair and poked at her food, obviously putting her mind on something other than the table full of "current problems".

"Fuck me, this room is hurting my head," she grumbled to Theresa and Alex.

She really did look like hell, dark circles under her eyes, hair barely brushed.

Regan shrugs, "What else is there to say? She doesn't care."

"I promise I'll never bother either of you again," Regan says, "So, just...leave me alone. Okay?"

"Oh for fucks sake." Christie said "Look, I'm sorry I hurt you. I didn't mean to, but things got fucked up. But I still want to be your friend, and I think Kay does too."

Kay's spikes have mostly withdrawn again by now, but she's still a little pokey as she looks around.

"Yeah, exactly. Not okay. I like hanging out with you. And I like hanging out with Resa for that matter. And I'm sick of everyone turning their back on me claiming it's for my benefit. If this is what trying to date people leads to then I don't think I'm gonna date anybody for a while."

"Regan, I'm sorry I've been such a shitty friend lately. Christie, I'm sorry but if we're gonna be doing anything together it'll be as friends. Resa, I'm sorry I was such a butt about things."

And with that she picks up the sandwich from her tray and walks off, silently bemoaning she doesn't have any shades to put on.

Well, that didn't make Regan feel any better about herself.

"sorry," Regan mumbles.

WIth nothing to say, she just stares at the floor.

She really wished she could still go through walls.

Christie stood there for a moment, and then looked at Regan "Bitch." she said, glaring at her, and then she stalked off, abandoning her breakfast.

Regan just kept sitting at the empty table. She felt numb.

What did you expect? Did you really manage to fool yourself and think that Christie liked you?

So, good job making everyone unhappy. Go team Regan.

Something inside her laughs and her stomach twists.

Alex frowned, then he looked at the other two girls at his table.

And he was going to keep eating. But for some reason he found himself moving his tray over to the table across from Regan.
