"Well, the good news is you're doing fine. I'm not running away screaming - and I wouldn't be even if I were allowed to." She makes a face before continuing. "Silas is definitely an ass, but there's more to him than that. I just wish it was there for more people to see." She trails off, thinking of the rest of Piper's list as well as the fact that they might actually be having girl time. "Mike is off the table," she adds in a soft voice. Might as well get that out in the open now before anyone else gets any other ideas. It did complicate the fact that Silas attacked him, let alone the fight other. That still unsettled her. "Eric? Yeah, the one you're thinking of. But I don't know." She shook her head. "We're going out sometime once I'm out of here, but honestly? He's my best friend, and that's not something I've considered someone in a long time. Maybe there will be something, maybe not." She shrugs and tries to downplay the elaboration. "It's a lot of hypotheticals." « Last Edit: Nov 28, 2015 1:11:05 GMT -6 by Rebecca Jefferson » Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

"And boys are weird. Though, hey, a date sounds nice." She smiled. She'd have to hear more about Eric at some point, but Rebecca seemed a bit down. She didn't seem to really want to talk about any of them... Not Mike, not Eric, and certainly not Silas. Normally, that wouldn't matter, but... she had come to consider this girl a friend. She didn't have many of those. Trying to lighten things up, she crossed her fingers and rested them on her stomach, looking over at her and trying her best to look serious (and failing - her poker face sucked). "You know, if you ever get tired of all these boys and all their stuff, you and I could tell them to swatch off. We'll go down Mexico way, or something. Elope, and be the best looking lesbian couple in the country." Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

Whether they were driven crazy or not. She looked over at Piper as the other girl's pose echoed her own, raising a brow before her expression melted from skepticism to amusement. It's even more difficult with the girl's attempt at a serious face, but it was reassuring to see her new friend try so hard for her, too. "The plot twist no one suspects before we take the world by storm." Her laughter is quieter than before, but the comment has the desired effect.

Given, picturing that reminded her that she had just offered her friend to Jim. Her smile slowly faded, even as Rebecca continued laughing. Her heart ached... And that was when she realized it. She realized what it meant to make a choice. The smile that returned was slow and careful, but possibly one of the most genuine she had ever given Rebecca. "Hey, Rebecca?" She said softly. "Thank you. For being my friend." Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

"You're welcome." She returns the smile with a small one of her own, glad to see the warmth return to her new friend's expression. "Same to you." There were a handful she could laugh this freely with; had you asked her opinion on Piper when they first met, she would never have thought the green haired girl would be one. Yet despite the catty attitude and Silas being a brat to push her buttons, here they were. "You okay?" Rebecca tilted her head a bit to the side, watching her carefully. Both seemed to be full of ups and downs lately. Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

She closed her eyes and leaned her head back, green hair falling around her face. She seemed peaceful, then. Rebecca made the decision so much easier. Her choice, once almost impossible to make, finally seemed clearer. "Yeah. Just thinking about some... hard things... and you're making them a lot easier." Friends. They were actually friends. It was a nice feeling. Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

Of course, it's Eric's face that comes to mind as she says it, affection warming her voice, but it was also true. The ones who were there for you, the closest able to call you out on your own foolishness. "I'm glad I could help. If you need to talk, you can." She doesn't push, but instead reaches out for the book of poems Piper had brought. "Pick a number between one and two hundred." Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

She lightly tapped her chin, thinking. A number... Did any number mean anything special to her? "143." Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

It's a split-page with two poems on it, so she backs up to the previous poem and reads it out loud.   It's A Dialogue of Self and Soul! Because distractions are everybody's best friend.

How... appropriate. She sighed softly, repeating the words at the end of poem silently, her mouth moving over them carefully. They seemed to brand upon her soul. Piper glanced over at Rebecca and offered her a smile. "I see why you like that book," she said. Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

"Thanks for bringing it to me. Really." She glances at Piper again. "I'll give it back once I'm out of here, if you like. If you checked it out, you should have plenty of time to read it, yourself." She's assuming ti was checked out and not bought. She was sort of trying not to pay attention to that, one way or another. Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

"Keep it," she said with a smile. "A marker of our friendship." She gave the girl a two-finger salute, not bothering to say how she had gotten the book, nor where, and moved out of the infirmary. "Get better, Rebecca." Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

She'd lost count of how many times she'd said it, but she still mean it. "See you later." She waves as the girl leaves, setting the book down with quiet sigh. She couldn't wait to get out of here.
