i remember everything, so who are you?

Bella attends her classes with faultless punctuality, every time. She sits in the second or third row on an aisle in the middle section of seats, in the classes that take place in big auditorium lecture halls like the main section of Bio; she's willing to put herself closer to the professors in smaller classes like OS and of course her flute chair (third; she hasn't been quite ridiculously showoffy enough to climb beyond yet) is assigned. But right now, she is in Bio, learning tidbits about auxin and tropisms that the textbook didn't cover fully. She's running at about one and a half speed, just enough that she can trivially listen to and process the lecture against her memory of the text while also permitting some mind-wandering. She liiiiiikes her cognitive speedup power.

"No one I went to high school with was normal, I'm pretty sure," says Janine.

"No one I went to high school with was memorable," says Bridget. "At least not after this long."
regularsized: Watchful. Looking to one side. (⑥ but you can control it)

"Yes!" says Janine. "It was ostensibly for gifted children but in fact seemed to accept anyone who was any two of rich, smart, and weird."

Bridget quirks a smile. "That sounds interesting."

"Extremely!"
regularsized: Smiling slightly. Looking down. (② avoiding stress isn't the secret)

"Same here," says Bridget.

"My school had many advantages, but no kind of normality was ever one of them," says Janine.
regularsized: Smiling, perhaps hopeful or nervous. (③ I'm sorry. That was mean.)

"Which kind did you make friends with?" inquires Janine.
regularsized: Neutral or ambiguous. Wearing an indigo sweater. (⑤ you're renting my room)

"Alice seems nice," says Janine, "but definitely abnormal enough for at least three people."

"Who is this Alice of whom you speak?" asks Bridget.

"...Please tell me more about your boyfriend," Bridget requests, "if only so I can erase the image of you dating Alice Cooper from my mind."

Janine laughs.
regularsized: Laughing. (① not as rare as you'd)

"He sounds fascinating," says Bridget. "Does he or does he not wear stage makeup on a regular basis?"

"I have never seen him in any," volunteers Janine. "But I have not seen him that many times."
regularsized: Smiling slightly. Looking down. (② avoiding stress isn't the secret)

[personal profile] regularsized 2012-10-18 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Where does he live?" wonders Bridget.
regularsized: Smiling, perhaps hopeful or nervous. (③ I'm sorry. That was mean.)

"One more question. Where the heck is Forks?"
regularsized: Smiling slightly. Looking down. (② avoiding stress isn't the secret)

"A long-distance relationship. Congratulations. I've never been able to hang onto one of those."

"He visits a lot," says Janine.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

Alice is in the middle of making dinner. Currently that means sitting on the kitchen counter in his lair, waiting for water to boil.

[By who?] he wonders, smiling at nothing in particular. Bella has that effect on him.

"Is he also in college, or...?"
regularsized: Smiling, perhaps hopeful or nervous. (③ I'm sorry. That was mean.)

"They are beautiful dresses and I wish I could afford more of them," says Janine.

"Maybe I should look him up," muses Bridget.
