Out for the night

[S. Vanessa Marymount]

"All right, Connor." Vanessa nodded. She remembered that she saw him several times during the day because they were in the same class group. That would certainly make handing off the jacket easier instead of her having to run around the school in between classes. And that time was sometimes barely enough for her to get to class, let alone hunt down another person. Life at GPA was very fast-paced, if she recalled correctly. The students learned to love it though, because they ended up learning and achieving much more than they could have hoped to do back at the various schools in their own home towns. Briefly, she wondered where those places were for Noah and Connor.

When Noah offered to buy her and Connor a drink, she, admittedly, she cringed a little bit inwardly. After all, the last drink that had been around her and Noah had ended up as an accessory to both of their outfits. She made sure not to hurt Noah's feelings by not letting her reluctance show in her face, though-after all, she had been acting for quite some time. And if she couldn't hide that simply emotion from him, she might as well say good bye to her professional career. Really, if it came down to it, she would take the drink; to make Noah feel better. She could simply order a water or something; that way there's be less chance of anymore damage being caused. And it would be cheaper for Noah to pay for; not that she thought he needed to watch his money, she'd just feel bad ordering something very expensive-even if it was to make him feel better. She nodded along with Connor,

"Connor's right. On all counts." she smiled slightly. If Vanessa truly had a problem with the evening, she would've been long out the door. Most likely trying not to cry. However, here she remained, dry eyes and all. Vanessa raked a hand through her hair and looked back up at Connor, who was reassuring Noah that accidents happen to everyone. Once again, she agreed. Sometimes things just happen with nothing that anyone can really do about it. Sure, it was unfortunate that one had happened to her and Noah on the day they first met, but it wasn't an unheard of occurrence. Giggling at Connor's last remark, she added, "I'm not that thirsty. And I still have my Bay Breeze." she went to point where she had left it on the bar, but it had vanished; probably into the hands of some half-drunk party goer. "Correction, I had my Bay Breeze." she laughed again.[/color]

[Noah Kay]

Noah smiled lightly as Connor reassured him - rolling his eyes when Connor was talking about Noah buying him a drink because he was such a great friend. He was already feeling better about it - hopefully he'd be able to completely block the incident from his memory. However, when Vanessa started to reassure him too he felt a little bad again - Connor hadn't suffered at the hands of his stupidity! But wait - he was blocking this from his memory starting afresh...

His smile widened and he said "In that case, Connor, I would like to buy you a drink for being such a great friend. And Vanessa, I'd like to buy you a drink because you seem to have lost yours in all the commotion. "What would both of you like?" Next, depending on how the situation fared he would go filming. Or maybe he'd just stay here and drink himself off his feet - it shouldn't be too hard, Noah didn't have much of a stomach for alcohol...

(Gah. My brain has frozen up. I just felt that I finally owed you a post. xD)

[Connor Micklesen]

Connor smiled slightly when he heard that Noah would buy him a drink for the reason that he suggested although he knew that he was really still trying to make up for the incident, he decided just to help his friend feel better. He waited for a minute trying to figure out what kind of drink he even wanted, he didn't really want anything much honestly. Just something simple that would serve it's purpose. "I'll just have a beer," he answered. "I don't care which kind as long as it isn't anything light." He really didn't have a preference in drinks because he didn't have them often enough to have a preference. Really he just drank whatever and figured out along the way if he liked it or not. He hadn't come across anything that he really disliked so far so he figured that until he did he could just keep going with the system that he had in place. It would probably be a hassle when that happened because then he was sure to come across more drinks that he wouldn't like then he'd actually have to figure out a list of things that he did like and that he didn't.

"Anyway, maybe we should talk about something else now," he suggested. He thought for a minute trying to come up with a proper topic of conversation. There wasn't really a lot that all of them could talk about together right off the bat. But rather than ask about school, he figured that he'd ask about summer. "So did anyone do anything even remotely interesting over the summer?" he asked them, he knew that he didn't. His summer was like always a consent shuffle between his parents, always listening to their constant bickering and complaints about one another. "I know that I didn't do anything. Well except almost kill both of my parents because they were annoying me to death. Honestly I think that it is their goal in life to drive me to a point of insanity. If I did go insane I wouldn't doubt a bit that it was from them and their craziness."

[S. Vanessa Marymount]

Vanessa pursed her lips, wondering if she really should go ahead and order the water. Would that be...offensive? She didn't want Noah to feel bad again, but then again she wanted to be careful. Her dress could only be subjected to so much. She decided to go ahead with her cautiousness, but offerred a different and actually sensible reason for her choice, "I'll just have a water, thanks. Too much alcohol probably isn't good for me since I'm on the short side...a little." she chuckled, demonstrating by acting as if she really had to crane her head up to see the two boys. Not wanting to hurt her neck, she quickly stopped that.

When Connor asked about her summer, she felt a little guilty as she listened to his. It didn't seem too much like hers at all. Then again, not everybody's was. Vanessa knew she was "priveleged"-after all, she wasn't a scholarship student at GPA-and although she was so used to hanging out with people who had summer homes here and there, the thought of simply talking about it with someone who didn't made her uneasy-ish. But maybe she was just getting the wrong idea of Connor's summer. "Sounds rough," she replied, pausing a moment before continuing with her summer's description. "Well, when I wasn't hanging around the city, that is NYC, where I live, I spent a lot of time in Europe just going around...shopping." she laughed a little. The white dress had been one of her first purchases, but she chose-probably wisely-not to mention this little tid bit of information. "We spent a lot of time in France and let me tell you...I have never been more confused in my life."[/color]
