Seawhorse cabin, alcove A2, Monday morning
Jaye spends her early morning being really really careful. Like, taking off her shirt-that-has-not-been-glued-to-her so she can use it as a guard between her and anything she might touch. The shirt is the barrier between her and the clothes she's planning on wearing (and a thorough glue search of them), the wall, everything. This was probably not the sort of shirtlessness Jack was encouraging. So far nothing's been glued, and she can get dressed in full. This actually worries her more. Jaye is good at paranoia, yes. She has practice.
She's still got some time before class, so she heads outside with her phone, and .
"Hey," Mahandra greets her.
"Zomg, busy," Jaye explains.
"Summers are not for busy. They are for lazy."
"I'm trying! And mostly succeeding. Kinda."
"I don't even know you anymore."
Jaye moves to the side of the cabin, leaning against the wall. "How goes it there?"
"Boring. You? Oh, what am I saying? Boring is impossible in Fandom."
"Well, we haven't been attacked by snow monsters," Jaye offers.
Mahandra laughs. "Congratulations!"
"Had a date last night," she says. " Third one."
"Seriously? Have you ever dated a guy this long over there?"
"Nope. It always went weird on me before that point. Seriously, how is it that the guy I thought I had a one night stand with is the one where it's actually going okay?"
"Fandom quirk?" Mahandra suggests.
"Maybe," she says, and lowers her voice a little, just in case. "Wanna hear about how I kinda made out with another guy, though?"
There's a long pause. "The hell are you doing over there?"
"Making out with other guys."
"Shut up and tell me."
"It's not a serious thing or anything. It's just fun. Whatever happens happens. I actually have confirmation that things will not go weird on me either way," Jaye says, and really, she's kinda happy about that.
"But you're dating another guy," Mahandra points out.
"He's not a boyfriend. I am not doing boyfriends, I am bad at it," Jaye says. "But I mightkindalikeAlecshutup."
"Repeat that?"
"No."
"I heard it anyway. Awwww."
"No awww! He's hot and we actually talk, wtf, how did that happen, and we traumatized the cabinmates."
She can practically see Mahandra's eyebrow raise over the phone. "Seriously?"
"Yuh huh. And then they glued Alec's pants to his hands and I'm just waiting for what they're going to do to me."
"Serves you right," Mahandra says, and it's clear she's talking through a smile.
"It's not my fault the walls don't go all the way up."
"Trollop."
"Did you just call me a trollop?" Jaye laughs.
"Yes, I called you a trollop."
"I'm kissing a girl tonight, too."
"...What??"
"Girlkissy in exchange for boykissy. It's a thing. Rory agreed, so..."
"You're telling Sharon, right?"
"Afterwards. I'm calling her next and I have something even better."
"Anything else you need to tell me before you do that?"
"Ummm, Pretty Sam is awesome to talk to, and yay cabins, you can't make me leave, especially if I get glued to something?"
Mahandra laughs. "Go call Sharon, have fun with your dating flinging thing and your girlkissy."
"I'll do what I can," she says. "Talk to you later."
After hanging up, Jaye makes another call, and lucky gets Sharon's voicemail. And really, it occurs to her that after her talk with Alec, she should probably be be grateful she has a family (and not a twinned clone). The beep sounds in the phone.
"Hi, Sharon, it's Jaye. I'm dating a cheeeeeeeerleadeeeeeer. Bye."
She hangs up. Mwahahahaha.
