[She Ain't Never Coming Back]

May 12, 2008 21:20

It's during the first period after lunch that Booster gets called to the principal's office. He looks up in confusion - he hasn't even done anything that he can think of, not since the whole deshirting thing, and that was totally handled already, wasn't it? - and gets shooed out of class by the teacher in an attempt to minimise disruption ( Read more... )

Booster could just ask Leto! He knows where the ninjas meet >:D ....uh. Not the time, right? Yes.

Aaanyway, so Ted, having no knowledge of these shenanigans and goings-on, is just assuming he will be serving as Booster's evening conveyance because that's what happens! Do they meet in the general land of lockers? Yes? HMM? Sure, let's say that's what happens.

If these young gentlemen were girls, or...well, at least less insanely boyish, perhaps this situation would result in one of those gently relentless interrogations that lead into confessions on either side and maybe some crying, followed by ice cream and a Lifetime marathon--NO OKAY not really, because that only happens on like....Seventh Heaven. Booster will have to settle for an arm punch and "C'mon, we're late already."

Because he has to get home to watch how that Camden clan will get up to hijinks this weLies.

Leto freaks Booster out too much anyway D: ... What, there's all that staring, like he's looking into your SOOOOUUUL - no, not really. It's just the aura of RIDICULOUS RICHES and stuff.

Of course they do! The land of lockers is MADE for this sort of meeting, it's a universal constant of boys pretty much everywhere. Much like the ice cream thing is a constant of girls on Seventh Heaven.

Meanwhile, Booster is not shifty at all, no sir! "Uh, hey, I think I might walk home today actually, it's a nice day and exercise is always good, you know, fresh air and everything." This is a total lie, nice days never happen in Minnesota. ... No, that's a total lie too, but the truth is somewhere in-between and whilst Booster will not be getting hit in the head with a golf-ball sized hailstone any time soon, this statement expressing a wish to walk home in the current weather could be considered a convincing argument for his having gone completely insane.

Booster and Ted are in that weird middle class category! Or well, Ted is sometimes. Sometimes there's more money, sometimes there's less! It's really great for a sense of security.

Ice cream and teenaged pregnancy. ....not really. (YES REALLY.) Fortunately no one in this particular conversation is thinking about either of those things (although other people in the corridor may be, we won't judge), because otherwise nothing would ever be accomplished.

"Oh, okay." ....wait, that's it? Really, Ted, you're just going to let that go? Apparently, since he is casually adjusting his bag and turning to go off to the Bug alone. Clearly Booster has good reasons to want to be alone and if he wants to talk, thNo of course that's not what's happening. "....wait, what? You hate to walk." Possibly more than Ted hates exercise of any kind!

But he does it anyway, because otherwise gymnastics in spandex would be dreadful.

According to Rip, science is its own reward. Booster takes this to mean that he doesn't get paid all that much at whatever job it is he has (some big word that went right over Booster's head and Rip refused to simplify), but in truth he has no idea what their actual financial status even is. All he knows is that it's not Atreides-level.

Booster could be thinking about getting ice cream on his way home! ... He isn't, actually he's considering the allures of hunting down some beer somehow, but he could have been going with ice cream! Teen pregnancy, on the other hand, is so very unlikely to involve him in any way that it is utterly distant from his mind unless he happens to stumble on a documentary and spend some time going "oh god" but it's not three a.m. so that's not happening.

IT WORKED IT WOR- aw, damn it. Booster's face scrunches up in the way that means deep thought is happening, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the way people's faces scrunch up when they smell something horrible. "No I... don't?" That's not ( ... )
