The Park, Wednesday

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

The light was still bright after classes.

It was a big park, and he was a small Jack, sitting on the bench near the lake.

She wouldn't show. He'd been made a fool of.


[it's a big park. Open like a big open area.]

Unfortunately for Jack, Annette didn't show. Instead she called. Hopefully he had his phone on him.

Ring...

Jack actually had a cell phone. Will wonders never cease. Now, if only he had his Camaro...

It took him a minute to work it. The phone, that is.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Jack," she said, softly.

"Annette." He said it coldly. He was cold. It happened. "I'm down by the lake."

Oh. His tone was not good. "I'm... not on the island."

THere was a pause.

"Where are you, then?"

He was fairly certain that she had said the park. In fact, he had it on the answering machine (which he still couldn't figure out completely).

Aggravated noise? What aggravated noise?

She ignored that question and istead said, "I left after second period this morning."

She paused.

"Please don't be mad at me."

"You..."

Hrm...maybe Jack should get a thesaurus to properly express his feelings then.

"Where. Are. You?"

Annette really didn't want to answer this.

"At a friends house," she said evasively.
