Student Art Show, Community Center, Saturday Evening

Oct 03, 2015 09:32

A meeting room at the community center had been nicely appointed for an evening show of students' work, with pieces hung on the walls and a small stage set aside for monologues and musical performances. The food wasn'tquite as abundant as it had been the day before, but there was still plenty of cheese, crackers, crudités and non-alcoholic ( Read more... )

After last year's gremlin-induced embarrassment, Kathy had sworn on a stack of bibles that she was never, ever singing in public again. Ever.

But Sarah had insisted and then reminded her how she'd taken the fall for that and then threatened to tell their parents that Kathy was apparently flirting with boys and somewhere in the intersection of pestering, guilt, and blackmail, Kathy found herself reluctantly agreeing.

God, Sarah, you were such a brat.

"Hi, my name is Kathy Li and I'm singing, With the Heart to Forget You," she said, doing her best not to make eye contact with anyone. Nervous, the first few lines were breathier than she would have liked, but she got into the swing of it soon enough.

May clapped for this. If nothing else it was significantly less inappropriate than most of the art, so she wasn't uncomfortable with it.

Re: Art! [10/03] spin_kick_snap October 4 2015, 05:04:51 UTC

"Thank you," Kathy said blushing. "Ummm, I hope you're having a good Parents' Weekend, ma'am."

Re: Art! [10/03] home4teenheroes October 4 2015, 05:08:07 UTC

"On the whole, I am," May said. "I'm not sure about everything at this art show, but the important thing is that people are expressing themselves."

She just wished they were doing it with pants on.

Sarah hooted and cheered. That was her big sister!

Nate watched with a small smile on his face, then applauded when the number finished. "Could use a little work on stage presence," he noted. "But that's really quite a talent."

Re: Art! [10/03] spin_kick_snap October 4 2015, 20:29:04 UTC

"Oh, umm, thank you," Kathy said, nervously tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. "Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Normally I wouldn't have but gotten up here, but my little sister insisted, so..."

Re: Art! [10/03] andiamathief October 4 2015, 20:42:42 UTC

"I'm glad she did," Nate said. "Nathan Ford. You're Kathy, right? I saw you yesterday at Eliot's diner."

And he'd stayed well back from that whole thing, quietly observing how Eliot and Parker handled it. Not terribly. Not the way he would have, but nothing had literally exploded, so not terribly.

Re: Art! [10/03] spin_kick_snap October 4 2015, 20:50:05 UTC

Kathy's hands came up over her face. "You saw that?" she gasped. "I'm so sorry, what you must think of me and my family..."

Re: Art! [10/03] andiamathief October 4 2015, 20:59:10 UTC

Nate shrugged. "I've seen worse."

Mr. Li didn't seem to be using Kathy directly in an illegal ponzi scheme, for instance.

Re: Art! [10/03] spin_kick_snap October 4 2015, 21:40:58 UTC

Low bar, Nate. Low bar.

"Still..." she mumbled, bright red. "Do, uhh, you know Eliot, Parker, and Mr. Hardison then?" she asked, totally not changing the subject at all or anything.

Re: Art! [10/03] andiamathief October 4 2015, 21:46:30 UTC

"Mr. Hardison," Nate repeated, looking faintly delighted. "Yes, I've known them for years. Used to chase them, actually, before we became a team."

Re: Art! [10/03] spin_kick_snap October 4 2015, 22:06:24 UTC

"I don't know him as well as I know Parker and Eliot," Kathy explained.

Go figure.

"So it still feels weird to just call him Hardison." Which probably didn't stop Nate from being so amused. "But--oh! You must be their old mastermind! Before Parker!"

Re: Art! [10/03] andiamathief October 4 2015, 22:08:08 UTC

"I was the man with the plan," Nate confirmed. "Until I retired. So they've mentioned me, have they?"

Re: Art! [10/03] spin_kick_snap October 5 2015, 06:59:51 UTC

"A little bit, here and there," Kathy said. "Sometimes they talk about some of what they did before coming to the island. And I puppy-sit Val when their current, uhh, business requires them to go off-island."

Re: Art! [10/03] andiamathief October 5 2015, 15:40:07 UTC

"Oh good. I was worried they were trying to bring that poor thing along."
