Misery loves company... too bad there isn't any

[Sharkbait]

Jeremy wakes up in the Rec room after a short nap. He remembered the fight he'd had with Claire and instantly regretted waking up. He'd left the library so he wouldn't have to continue thinking about it, but he still was, and he kept feeling worse about it.

[kiwi]

Evangeline and Foxy entered, Foxy obviously wanting to challenge Evie to a dart game. He practically ran to the board to write their names up and get the darts as Evangeline walked over to Jeremy. "Hey...I heard about the fight... you ok?"

[Sharkbait]

Jeremy looks up at her. "Great. News still travels fast around here.... No, I'm not all right... I feel horrible." And at that moment, Todd pops up through the floor. "Don't you always feel horrible?" "Oh, will you just go away for once?" "Nope, can't."

[kiwi]

"Actually, Claire told me...and I'm the only one she told..." Evangeline frowned at both Jeremy and Todd. Foxy, who was oblivious to everything was already taking his turn on the dart board. Evangeline's head looked over at him and she yelled; "HEY! NO FAIR! LADIE'S FIRST! Don't say anything." She added at Todd, although still smiling.

[Sharkbait]

Jeremy sighs. "Yeah, I figured she'd tell you." Todd looks at Evangeline. "I wasn't planning on saying anything. If you want me to though...."

[kiwi]

Evangeline gave Todd a playful push and walked over to take her go at darts. Right on cue, Claire walks in, she smiles when she see's Evangeline but her face falls when she sees Jeremy. She sits down but on the chair furthest away from him and started to read her book.

[Sharkbait]

Jeremy watches Claire as she sits down and sighs, looking out the window. Todd senses the tension. "Soo....... Who's heard about the new family on campus?"

[kiwi]

Evangeline looks at Todd. "I haven't." She aims for the board, not taking her eyes off Todd and scores a bulls eye. Foxy's mouth drops. Literally.

[Sharkbait]

Jeremy looks over to Todd, confused. "Apparently no one... Well, you know Derek? He's apparently Logan's brother." Jeremy cocks an eyebrow. "Now that's something I really didn't expect. The closest I was thinking was distant cousin."

[kiwi]

Evangeline paused and looked at Todd in a mix of confusion and shock. Foxy was just standing there. Still shocked at Evangeline's throw.

[Sharkbait]

"Yes, I know it's a shock." ((And I'm wicked sorry I didn't come back! My brother came home so I had to visit for a while.))

[kiwi]

"O...k...so that's all that Derek wanted to tell him?" Piped in Claire as Evangeline took her last shot and Foxy took his go, grumpy 'cause of Evie's aim.

[Sharkbait]

"Apparently," Todd says. "There really wasn't much to worry about, then." Jeremy nods, then looks at Claire, trying to decide whether or not to say something to her.

[kiwi]

Claire avoided eye contact with Jeremy and continued to try and read her book. Foxy continued to have his go, taking his time with aiming and Evangeline sat down on the arm rest of Todd's chair waiting for her go.

[Sharkbait]

Todd smiles inwardly, glad to have Evangeline near him without having to say anything.

Scott walks in and sees Evie. He smiles at her and sits down in a chair across the room.

[kiwi]

Evangeline grins and waves at Scott as Foxy yells; "Bollocks!" and Evangeline grinned even more and got up and started to take her turn. Foxy stormed over to a near by seat [next to claire] and sat down as Claire patted him on the head.

[wingsofsage]

Scott smiles and waits for Evie to finish taking her turn so he can talk to her.

[Sharkbait]

Todd glares at Scott when he comes in, but doesn't move.

[wingsofsage]

Scott looks over to see Todd standing there giving him an evil look and he laughs out loud. He then turns to Evie and watches her play the game.
