Summary: Who knew planning a party involved this much drama?
Word Count: 2800 or so.

Notes: Betaed by the lovely starxd_sparrow, and written for angst_driven for the 2008 vm_santa. Hon, I know this is late, but well, I watched Buffy and this is a back up. But those aren't th best reasons at all. Should you want to see more of this play out, let me know and it shall be yours.
This fic is epistolary, which means everything is told through correspondences. It is also not completely chronological, so the timestamps may help.

I’ll be back in Neptune on Saturday afternoon, and what better way to kick off Winter Break than with some booze on the beach.
Let’s say Sonora Beach at 6 PM. I’ll provide the booze, you provide yourselves.

I torch pools; that shit isn’t allowed. I blow up at her in her place, the Sheriff has me against the wall for breaking a lamp.
We’re back to where we were for most of last year; we bitch at each other like there’s no tomorrow.
Plus, I’m the reason why the town has fallen into a real-life version of Jets vs. Sharks. The horror, the horror!
She has a bug up her ass with the Donut now. I try to avoid them, even though I’m in Donut’s suite.
Got other things on my mind anyway. *wink wink nudge nudge*

Of course, nothing is going to top Logan getting cuffed by Sacks, but I can deal.

This game with Veronica sounds like any of the stupid shit you went through with Lilly, but I guess you get off on that, so whatever. I guess your new (or old) tricks work well. What I don’t get is why she’s avoiding you? She sees you at your place. What’s different about the party?
Fill me in on this new distraction.

You really want me to try and explain the mind of Veronica, Cas? Are you asking for a diatribe as long as any of the reading you haven’t done for class? I don’t think I can actually understand what’s going on in her mind right now-the Donut does something to her that makes her impossible to read.
For example, I have no way of really explaining why she started crying at me when I saved her ass a few weeks go by pointing a gun at a Fitzpatrick in their bar.
The distraction is just that: something to keep my mind off everything else. Aside from that, there’s nothing else I’m willing to disclose about her because it’s just sex.
It’s been more awkward since Trina found out, too, but I try to forget that stupid moment in favor of sex with someone other than myself.

Point taken on trying to understand Veronica, I suppose.
However, I will have you know that I’m taking studying as serious as anyone does here. Which, doesn’t say too much. You know, the joys of a Business major. It’s all economics and not so much reading-just math.
But back to Veronica…
Maybe she cried because she’s actually scared you might die? I mean, you did look pretty happy during the summer, from what I can remember through those alcohol-laden memories.

Don’t think that the few days you spent with her before Christmas last year give you that much insight.
I’ve given up on trying to understand her, mostly because it makes my brain hurt, and I’d rather keep my energy focused elsewhere.
Whatever you can cajole her into, she’s all yours. Not that it’ll mean anything other than you getting to hear her bitch about me and my blasé attitude all night. Maybe if she goes outside the box, you’ll get all of Duncan’s flaws because he hasn’t touched her in a few days. (Fair warning to you, my friend.)

Duncan’s leaving for Sun Valley on Friday. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. Not that it really matters to him anyway.
As to the rest of the 09ers, I’ve been “playing” nice this year. Though, most of them just tolerate me. I’m not sure what they’ll do without Duncan around.
See you there, since you know I like to stick it to every other 09er.

She seemed pretty pissed about the whole thing; she hasn’t taken kindly to Meg being pregnant, I surmise.

I’m fine; the tone of the previous email suggests you’ve talked to Logan about my day and me. Ignore what he says: I know he’s bitter about just about everything in his life.
There’s also the added bonus of having to go to jury duty on Monday.
Keep up the previous promise, and I’ll be there with bells on.

I just got a cryptic email from V about tomorrow. What the fuck did I just sign up for?

Much as I can tell from my morning mumble to the Donut is that Meg woke up; V flipped her shit (typical much.)
Enter at your own risk, man. I’d just make sure there’s extra booze to keep everyone else safe from her wrath tonight.
Cheers!

Based on the very public blowout they had at lunch, it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
She seemed pretty pissed about the whole thing; she hasn’t taken kindly to Meg being pregnant, I surmise.

If you’re not feeling up to the party, a rain check is totally optional.
I’m here if you need to talk instead, though.

I’m fine; the tone of the previous email suggests you’ve talked to Logan about my day and me. Ignore what he says: I know he’s bitter about just about everything in his life.
There’s also the added bonus of having to go to jury duty on Monday.
Keep up the previous promise, and I’ll be there with bells on.

She seems in good spirits, but I might take that suggestion to heart. We’ll see how she responds to anything else tonight or tomorrow.

I do not back down from an invitation, especially when it’s actually been extended to me.
Meet me in front of my Dad’s office whenever you need me.
Just call when you want me to meet you.

Okay, so I was still drunk last night when I send that, but doesn’t make the story any less true-Gant had Ronnie’s ass in his hand all night.

For future reference (because it will come in handy later), Veronica isn’t being bitchy towards you. Just concerned. Give her a break.

I swear that between you and Dick, you’re making it a mission to convince me I care about Veronica.
Not. My. Problem.
Go bother Donut with whatever the fuck you two did (which, related, will be all around campus at the end of break, no matter how bitchin’ Dick’s party is.)

If you help me, you save yourself the trouble of having to act in front of everyone at school after break because you’ve already dealt with the issue.
You know, less actual hatred, more indifference on your part.

How does that actually work, Cas? I value Dick’s ability to be a dumbass much more than I care about whatever happens to Veronica without Duncan.
She can be torn apart by the rest of the 09ers for all I care.

Why bother putting out the flames? It’s not really your problem; everyone will love you no matter what we did. I was already treading on thin ice long before this.
By the way, thanks for that. It was a welcome distraction from everything else I’ve been dealing with.

You already went through enough being ostracized by the 09ers; I don’t need to add more to it.
It was no problem to provide a distraction. I’m more than willing to offer one up again before I go back to school.

Stop with the poor little rich boy act. If you don’t goad her each time, she won’t aim for your manhood.
She does generally want what’s best for you.
