Room 308, Sunday, Early Evening

Aug 31, 2008 20:38

It was Newbie Day! Okay, Newbie Day was yesterday, but that made it Newbie Weekend. All the fun of Newbie Day, but it lasted all weekend! Really!

And that meant Rikku was kinda hyper and still bouncing from the picnic when she realized she'd missed a call. Oops? She checked her voicemail and --

And then dialed like a woman on a mission.

Dawn checked her caller ID first, thanks. "Hi." At least she didn't burst into tears this time?

"He what!?" Rikku screeched.

"He dumped me." Ow, still hurting just to say that. "To keep me safe, or some kind of bullshit."

"Is this a distance thing!?" Rikku said, stomping her foot. "Because Jude totally pulled that crap on me and I was the one going, no, really, let's stick it out, and he got all stupid and 'this is for your sake' and the hell with him because I'm having sex with someone else now and I hope he's happy. And he probably isn't because he's stupid. Because he's male. Can I break his kneecaps!?"

The last 'he' wasn't Jude. Just in case Dawn missed that in the litany of italics and stomping.

Ella wanted to do some reading before her classes the next week. She really tried not to spy on Rikku or listen in.

It was just hard not to, sometimes.

"Is everything all right?" she asked, once her roommate had hung up the phone.

"Boys are stupid," Rikku seethed. "Not mine. Someone else's. Except they all are. All boys are stupid. It's like a rule. It's like when they mass-produce them, the last step is to remove some big part of the brain. UGH."

She flopped down on her bed with a huff.

"How are you?"

"Probably better than you are," Ella told her. "I'm still not a squirrel again, things with Dick are good -- I think he has a whole brain -- and I got a little brother. Who ... I hope does not turn out to be so stupid I have to hit him."

"You were a squirrel?" Rikku asked, propping herself up on her elbows. "He might have a whole brain. Some of them do. More likely he's just faking and one day he'll say something and you'll stare at him and go, oh my gosh. That's the piece he's missing. But I'm totally okay with being proved wrong, here."

She raised an eyebrow. "Does he seem like he might be stupid like that? I can help hit him, if you need extra punches."
