The Park - Tuesday afternoon

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

With her legs curled under her, Annette sat on a park bench, her handouts from Conflict Management on her lap. There was a lot of reading and studying to do before the test next week, and she admited if only to herself, that she didn't read War of the Tulips in class yesterday. She took notes, and these combined with the handouts, would have her reading and studying most of the day. If not the rest of the week.

It was a warm day, if not cloudy, so she took pleasure in sitting outside. Alone and content to do her work.

(It's a park, so it's open.)

On her way back from dr. Keyworth's office, Ami spotted Annette in the park. "Hey"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She put her finger to the spot she was reading, and looked up, smiling at Ami. "Hi, Amy. How are you today?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Good." She decided not to get into the specifics of where she had been.
"We never did decide on when to have a slumber party did we?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She smiled, "No, we didn't. But when we plan, I think we should plan for after finals. I know I am going to have a lot of studying this week. What do you think?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"But... finals are in a month..." Ami was now a bit confused as is her mun

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

clearly has a benedryl induced thought process, don't mind me

"Did I say finals? My bad. I have a lot of reading to do for a test in Conflict Management next week."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ok, that made more sense. Ami nodded. "Maybe after that?" she said hopefully.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"After that would be great, Ami." Annette replied, grinning.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Your test is next week right? Maybe next Saturday or something?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Saturday is good. Hopefully it will be for everyone else too." She nodded.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"I hope so. Did we ever decide on who? I could email people and ask..."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"I don't think we did. Maybe we should just send out a mass email to all the girls, and whoever wants to come, can? I would hate to exclude anyone."

The park was a good place to stretch her legs. Rose walked along the path and not long after spotted Annette. "Hello, Annette."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette looked up from her studies and gave Rose a warm smile, "Afternoon, Rose! How are you?"

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Better 'an last week," she answered, returning the smile.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Oh," she inquired. "What was last week, and here, come sit down by me." She patted the bench seat next to her.

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose did so. "I went back to London, I think I've mentioned that? But went into a huge row with my best mate."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"That's right! I forgot you mentioned going home." She smiled a little sheepishly. "I have a boyfriend now and my mind has been a little distracted." Not a very good excuse, but still. "A huge row?" Clearly she was baffled at that.

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Fight, argument," Rose clarified but grinned mischeviously, "Oh, a boyfriend, is it? Who's the lucky bloke?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Ah, well that's too bad. A bad fight?" Annette scrunched her shoulders up and grinned like a little schoolgirl. "I'm the lucky one I think. His name is Dick Casablancas. He makes me laugh."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Casablancas? Like the movie? 'A kiss is just kiss'?" She shook her head, "No, I think he's the lucky one."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She grinned, "Maybe. He's from Neptune, California. Surferboy. Blonde...and all that." She looked down, grinning.

"So about that fight - everything turn out all right?"

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose didn't like the sound of the 'surferboy' but that might just be her prejudice. Or it might be her Jimmy Stones alarm.

"We had a truce, chose to not discuss it any further but it... to borrow an Americanism, sucked."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette made a face, "Ah, that bad? Cause sucking kind of sucks and that just ain't good."

JOhn saw Annette and someone else at the bench, and walked past with a wave. Izzat Rose?
