Fourth Floor Common Room [Monday late afternoon]
Olive wasn't even feeling especially social or creative. But ever since her class that morning, she'd wanted cookies. And no, she was so not like, a gourmet cook at all, but she could buy refrigerated cookie dough with the best of them.
Shhh. She threw the packaging away and tossed the raw dough into a bowl so no one would know. She was sneaky. There was a batch of cooling chocolate-chip cookies resting on the counter already as she stared at the oven like it might produce state secrets or something. She'd turned on the television, for those who might not be super-into watching cookie dough rise, but she wasn't especially paying attention.
And no, she was not making these cookies for anyone but herself, regardless what certain parties might try to argue. But she'd share, probably. Unless you were obnoxious.
[open, la.]

There was always an if.
"If only I had something to take my mind off of the memories."
Dude, memories were the worst.
no subject
See how she turned that around? Genius.
no subject
"But what would it be without accompaniment? A proper harmony! Just like in our youth!"
Of course, she wasn't getting out of it so easily, either.
no subject
She actually could sing really well, but. That was kind of not the point here, no.
no subject
"Just once? For old time's sake?" Yep. There they were. The saddest Sparkle eyes. "For memories."
no subject
But oh god make the sad eyes stop.
no subject
It was so, so easy to make this boy happy.
"Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes..."
Really, he had a pretty good voice, himself. He was no Julie Andrews, fine, but he was shameless in hitting all the notes.
no subject
"Though the wind is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep,
You're not sleepy as you seem
Stay awake, don't nod and dream...."
no subject
So, for the record, it took every last drop of willpower left in Sparkle's body for him to keep from jumping up on the couch and cheering when they finished that little number.
"You know, nobody's actually sang with me like that since I came to this place?"
no subject
no subject
Because that's just what the common room needed! Tin whistle playing!
no subject
She also didn't know what a penny whistle was. Presumably an inexpensive whistle.
no subject
"Well, can you dance to anything else?"
It was a totally legitimate question.
no subject
Olive had interesting friends.
no subject
That was kind of like dancing! Probably!
... Sparkle had very little experience with that sort of thing.
no subject
Only kind of.
no subject
Well, hey, there were worse things to get expelled for.
"What did you sing that was so bad they kicked you out?"
If it didn't have like detailed descriptions of wild orgies in it or something, Sparkle was pretty sure the school board was overreacting.
no subject
They were still overreacting.
no subject
"If it's anything less than what some of the girls I lived with back in Toronto wore out in public on like a regular basis then girl, you're lucky you weren't arrested for flashing the crowd." He grinned. "If it wasn't less than that, you were expelled by a bunch of prudes."
no subject
[omg night before i fall asleep on my keyboard!]
no subject
This was most likely incorrect.
"I mean, seriously. I put Cade in a swimsuit yesterday that covered less than that."
[Night!]
