Josh rubbed his eyes again to try to get rid of the bleariness. Class was usually boring but not so boring he wanted to go to sleep. He guessed not being able to sleep much was finally catching up to him. After blinking a couple more times, his vision snapped back into its customary sharpness. If sharpness has blurs at the very edges. He looked ( Read more... )

While Victor wasn't as out of it as Josh might of been, he wasn't exactly in the best of moods either. Nothing seemed to be going his way as of late in many different respects. No matter how hard he try the reptilian mutant had been unable to focus on any of his work, a case of not caring and not having the motivation; a nice little package rolled into one really ( ... )

Thaaaaaat... wasn't a finch. Josh jumped a little and stopped in his tracks. He blinked and looked over at Victor.

"Wha? Oh! Hey." He waved distractedly. Why wasn't he sitting in the library again? There was a question asked, too. Maybe he should answer it.

"I'm okay," he replied automatically. "I'm going to-"

He glanced down to see where his books went. Not here was the answer. "-crap."

"......Crap what?" Okay, someone was a bit out of it. Vic's head tilted slightly. "Forget something?" That was the obvious thing to assume after all.

medicalmidas April 12 2008, 19:55:26 UTC

"Books." He paused and nodded. Then he shook his head to try to clear it again. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. "I forgot my books. I don't remember if I'm supposed to study today with Laurie or not. So, I was just going to take my stuff and go to the library anyway."

Nevermind that he had been walking in the opposite direction of the library.

Josh stopped in his tracks and blinked. Well, that chirping in class must have been Jay! Except he didn't think Jay was in that class. Maybe he was sitting in? Hopefully? Maybe? Not likely? Craaaaaaaap.

He ran a hand through his hair. He tried to sound like his was doing okay, but it came out a little flat. "I'm fine. I just haven't been sleeping well."

"Or something," he answered as he scratched the back of his head. He tried to remember how he explained it to Victor. He just had to keep it minus all the I'm scared of the shadows in the dark bit.

"I just haven't been sleeping well. Or much." At least it helped him forget his family woes.

Laurie gave it half an hour before she got worried about Josh's not-showing. Not that she wasn't worried already, really. He seemed to be really out-of-it lately, and he looked and acted exhausted. She'd meant to ask him about it with a tougher outlook before they started studying. She'd bought his attempts at casually brushing the issue off, earlier, but this time..!

Well, this time she'd been ditched before she could put in the attempt. No. Josh wouldn't ditch her. He probably just got caught up with something, or... Well, if he wasn't feeling well, he shouldn't show up to wrack his brains over school. He ought to be resting, or drinking liquids, or... Something.

Half an hour, and she packed up her things and headed for the boys' dorms. After a bout of timid asking-around, she was able to figure out which of the polished doors was supposedly Josh's. She knocked lightly, at first, as if afraid of getting caught, but then corrected the error and returned audibly, knock-knock, "Hey, Josh?"

Josh was still sitting on his bed after Jay and Victor had left. He was supposed to have been sleeping. Except he couldn't rest. He felt like he had forgotten something. He was trying to remember what when there was a knock on the door. He blinked at it. Laurie!

"Yeah?" He pushed off his bed and padded over to the door. He opened it and smiled a little wanly. Josh was tired. But Laurie was always worth the effort.

corner_bloom April 17 2008, 01:54:47 UTC

Oh, yeah. He looked pretty bad. Well... He didn't actually look bad, ever, but... He looked like he wasn't doing so well, that's all. His smile was met with Wallflower's immediately concerned face, "Goodness. Are you alright?"

medicalmidas April 17 2008, 02:08:29 UTC

"I, uh, I should be getting better." That's what classmates are for. Removing strange objects from under his bed. He should get a medal for those guys! Since getting them a congratulatory beer was probably out of the question.

"Aww. Craaaaap. We were supposed to meet in the library weren't we?"
