Flee maths, flee!

Samantha waited out in the hallway as her class with Mr. Summers ended, keeping an eye out for Mike.

God, that was a horrible class, Mike thought as he headed out into the hall, books shifting themselves from under his arm to in his backpack as he walked.

"Hey," Samantha said as she spotted him, "could you believe that?"

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 8:57 pm

"I'm really starting to understand why someone crammed a Volkswagon into his office that he can't get out," Mike said darkly, glaring back at the room for a second.

"Though I guess he gets points for making students sit in it when they meet with him."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:00 pm

"I don't know that he does, I think Julian did that on his own so that he could beep the horn at him whenever he tried to lecture him."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:02 pm

"Maybe the windows are sort of kind of laser proof?"

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:18 pm

Mike smirked at her. "You want to test the theory?" he joked.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:41 pm

"Why Mister Asters, are you implying that I would get detention?" She smirked.

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 10:32 pm

"Now, I would never imply that you were any less than as pure as fresh-fallen snow," Mike teased, a very subtle telekinetic nudge clearing the path ahead of them.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 10:40 pm

"And it really wouldn't be worth it to get detention from him."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 10:53 pm

"If he ever gets mad at you, just reset the last five minutes of his memory so he forgets about it," Mike said offhand, though the smirk he didn't quite conceal said he probably wasn't serious.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 10:59 pm

She groaned.

"I hope I'm not still taking his class when I learn to do that."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:30 pm

Mike chuckled. "Well, we have to aspire to something, right? So... what's going on in Sam-land?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:32 pm

"Well... things are getting more normal! Ish!"

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:35 pm

"Do I hear the sound of someone trying to convince herself of that?" he joked.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:37 pm

"Well, I think my roommates have gotten over some of the awkwardness, so that's progress."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:39 pm

"Well, that's good," MIke said. "So what's the 'but'?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:42 pm

"Well... they're really getting along a lot better than I thought they would... er... a lot better."

"But hey, I'm being supportive!"

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:45 pm

"So you've traded one kind of roommate awkwardness for another that's only really awkward for you?" he guessed, glancing aside at her.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:47 pm

"Aye, that's about the size of it. I'm happy for them, though."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:57 pm

"But at a complete loss for how to act now?" he guessed.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 11:59 pm

She nodded a bit sheepishly.

"I mean, it's hard not to notice, and I guess I feel the weirdest now that Becca has someone other than me to support her."

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:02 am

"Hmmm... so... should we call it 'jealous with a side of left out'?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:06 am

"I guess so. It's not like I want to... yeah, I'm not really interested in that."

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:08 am

"Well yeah, I didn't mean like that," Mike said. "But... well, I'm sure you don't need me to dissect everything for you," he said, a slightly sheepish look as he abandoned a train of thought.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:09 am

"It's okay. I guess I'm still wrapping my head around it myself."

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:17 am

Mike nodded, holding the door to the building open for her. "Never easy to make sense of what other people are feeling, is it," he said, letting her walk out ahead of him.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:19 am

"Aye," she said as she stepped out, "and even harder when you kind of have to build a little wall against the easy way to figure it out."

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:35 am

Mike nodded with a sigh. "I've always thought the Cuckoos had it too easy, having more than one brain to work the defenses."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:36 am

"But then you end up being like the Cuckoos, and who wants that?"

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:36 am

"Well, I think they were a little cracked to start with," Mike admitted.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:39 am

She laughed.

"Don't let them hear you say that. Or think that."

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:41 am

Mike smirked. "They've jumped in my head before. Can't say I blocked them out, but I don't think they're going to try it again."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:43 am

"Oh? Boy brain cooties?"

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:45 am

"Hive minds and powerful emotions don't tend to mix well, I think."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:46 am

"Ohhhh. So you, like, threw them out of balance?"

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:51 am

MIke smirked. "Well, they could walk all over my defenses... what they couldn't do was make me block out everything I usually block out. And they didn't know how to do it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:52 am

"Oh noooo... we are three uber-aloof blondes! Do not make us feel things!"

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 12:55 am

"Well, consider their teacher," Mike said with a smirk.
