Sunday Afternoon

[_dawnie_]

Buffy's first self-defense class was good -- and luckily she didn't think to ask me why I was late. She definitely wouldn't have liked the answer! Anyway, I think everyone had a good time even with the weird undercurrent going on between Sophie and Jan. What else could you expect, though? Not like it was a nice normal situation or anything. I

"Hi!" I look up, smiling; I'd been sitting there kinda daydreaming, off in my own world as I waited for her. "So how'd you like that self-defense class?" I stir my iced frap and scoop up some whipped cream with my finger.

"Yeah, my sis has done these classes before," I say, feeling proud that Buff is being complimented. "She's excellent at that type of thing." I shrug at her last comment. "I guess you just think, coffee... hot. I'm surprised I remembered to get an iced one!"

I tuck my hair behind my ears, smirking. "I don't think I do, but I'm not sure," I say. Avasa teases me sometimes that I do but I think he's just messing with me. He likes to do that. "If I do you can throw something at me," I tell her.

"So we'll have to figure out what stuff we're bringing... I bet those rooms are kinda small." I'm getting more excited about it now that we're actually discussing it. I think Sophie and I will get along well. "Jan and Amanda are rooming together... maybe we'll have rooms near each other."

After I've said that, I realize that she might not be enthused by close proximity to Jan, and vice versa.

Hm. Way to go, Dawn. I've finished my iced coffee and begin dismantling my styrofoam cup, peeling it from the top down as I like to do. "So, uh... you guys are kind of not getting along?" I ask. They seemed okay at the self-defense thing. 'Course, I was late. Anything could've happened before I got there.

I smile back at her. "He's uh... older than me," I say. "By several years. So until my birthday, I was keeping very quiet about him." I shrug lightly. "Buff still doesn't know about him, too, so that's kinda why." I hope she doesn't think I'm terribly scandalous; that'll throw roommate relations back a bit.

"She might understand," I say. "She had an older boyfriend when she was in high school, too." Yeah, older by more than a century and Undead, but we won't go there at the moment. "But I don't wanna push it, you know? I'm sure I'll be bringing him around some."
