breathe into me and make me real

Feb 17, 2005 14:51

Janice reminded me the other day that she still has Avasa's sweater, so I told her that if she wanted to bring it to school, we could take it back to him. She told me before that she wanted to thank him for saving her life a while back, which totally makes sense. And it'll be neat to finally start introducing my friends to my boyfriend ( Read more... )

I open my locker and retrieve Avasa's sweater from the shopping bag I'd snuck it out of the house in, and catch up with Dawn at the school doors.

"Remembered to bring it," I say, holding it up to show her. "Let's go check out some hot construction guys." I'm not really into guys that are that much older. Not that they can't be fun to look at.

"There's only one hot construction guy I'm interested in seeing," I tease her. "There's a few way hotties, though. One of 'em talks to Miss Dante all the time, have you seen him?"

I'm a little nervous about the two of them meeting. I don't know why. I guess maybe I'm still worried about Buffy somehow finding out one day. I dunno.

"Miss Dante? Oh, right, new creative writing teacher. I'm not sure, but there was one pretty cute guy talking to Miss Vargas yesterday--he was working on the sets." I push through the door and head toward the construction site. "Kinda old, but I could see being way into him if I was her age."

The gossip is mostly doing the trick of distracting me from thinking about my radically mixed feelings about Avasa. I do need to thank him; I'm sure that night I was totally incoherent. But why do I keep getting pulled into things that make me relive the attack?

Old, huh? I can see right now that I can never tell her what I'm considering with Avasa. I guess to me age isn't a factor. And, not that I was really planning on telling anyone anyway, because, personal much?

"He's supposed to meet us over here," I say.

I follow her over to wait, the sweater slung over my folded arms, and try not to think about how freaked I was the last time I saw her boyfriend. I laugh nervously and go back to my previous train of thought. "I mean, college guys are kind of my limit for actually thinking of dating. And right now, even that sorta seems like I was in over my head, y'know?" I add in a mutter, "Not that there are any high school guys who aren't complete freaks."

_dawnie_ February 18 2005, 05:07:18 UTC

Hmm. I sense issues. I'm quiet for a minute. "I'm sure there are some cool high school guys. Guys are just.... guys. You know." I shrug and look over at her. "Avasa's sweet. You'll like him."

_janice_ February 18 2005, 05:15:17 UTC

I shrug. "Well, at least I'm with you guys on the Eric is an idiot boat. I ran into him yesterday and he was going on like he's suddenly Jordy's best friend, plus he wouldn't drop the Shakespearean accent. I think maybe he's pissed because I've been avoiding him."

_dawnie_ February 18 2005, 05:41:04 UTC

"That's... really weird," I say. But I'm glad she's now aware Eric is an idiot. That's a relief.

"Have you, uh, talked to Jordy lately?" Maybe just a small fishing expedition...

_janice_ February 18 2005, 19:17:41 UTC

I think about our conversation in his den and know I'm turning a little pink. One of the banes of being a redhead. "Yeah. I went over there yesterday to drop something off for him. We're...not fighting anymore."

Then I see Avasa coming toward us and hope that means I won't have to talk about Jordy too much.
