I'm getting to be roommates with Jan. Went to orentation. (think I spelled that wrong)And thank god Jan was there, I don't know what I would have done without her. She seems to be working through her thing with Sophie which is good. Saw Dawnbut she was rushing off so I didn't get to say

I open the fridge. "We got cola, diet cola, red, orange and oh! Cherry coke." I look over and catch the blush, yep, chemistry. Which isn't exactly helping the situation. "So basically he confused the hell out of you? and then it got all stormy?"
I bring over my drink and whichever one Jan picked.

[_janice_]

"Pretty much," I say. I take the cola from her and say, "I just...he expects me to be perfectly understanding about it, like I didn't...y'know, have fairly strong feelings for him. I need to back off a little so I can figure out how to be friends."

"Ok, So." I'm trying to interpret this through my new jordy-view filter. " Let's see if I have this straightened out. You told Jordy you didn't want to need him. He said something about you wanting out of the pack and You said what are you talking about and then he wouldn't explain?"

[_janice_]

I start to smile. It's really a close synopsis of what had happened. "Yeah, pretty much. I think he got mad because I said with the self-defense stuff he wouldn't need to follow e around so much. And it's not like he does it 'cause he wants to talk to me, just 'cause he thinks he has to. I was trying to give him an out. I actually did say I didn't want to be part of his pack, because it seemed like he was trying to call all the shots. But I didn't mean I didn't want to be friends, or have him around." I sigh. "That was probably a really bad thing to say, huh?"

[mightbeweird]

"Oh no wonder." Well that clears up some of it. "not that He handled it well either."
"You were bugged when I walked you home too?" I remember it was kinda weird but I hadn't thought of why. "You thought..."
"...You thought it meant you were a burden?"

[_janice_]

I think about that. "Kinda. Like, that was mostly okay 'cause you had stuff you wanted to talk about, but he doesn't even want to talk, he just lurks where I can't see him. But yeah, I feel like I should be able to look out for myself. I mean, I have to sometimes, he's not around during the full moon. And he's not gonna be around on campus all the time."

[mightbeweird]

"Yeah, thats true. We live in a....um weird neighborhood. So the whole self-defense thing is good." I think about how to say what I think Jordy sees. So Jan understands. "So we are friends, right? You and me? And if you saw me get in trouble you'd try to help right? Or if I was scared, and you could fix it you would? right?"

[_janice_]

I look at her, surprised. "Well yeah, I did, when you guys were all under the play spell. And I would again, of course. For any of you. That's another reason I want to get stronger."
