Re: Freshmen Dorms

Jacob looked up from his phone and narrowed his eyes at Seth. "If that's the case you're the only one in that club, since Tony's man card was revoked a long time ago."


Antonio who hadn't been saying anything was just eating his cereal oblivious to all of this.

[Tiger-Lily]

Ashton stifled a laugh. Seth looked amused but then looked over his shoulder and said, "Hey, Jake, don't you have to go grovel at Evelyn's feet while she ogles your coworkers?"

Ashton reached out a leg and kicked him. "You're a dick."

"Beats being a pussy," Seth returned smugly.

"I sense this not going anywhere," Ashton muttered, shooting Jake an apologetic glance.

[Guest]

Jake just shrugged he was used to Seth's annoying remarks about his relationship anyway.

"Speaking of women." Antonio piped up, "Hey Ash, don't you have to get ready for your date? "

[Tiger-Lily]

"Um, considering I have six hours before I have to go and I'm not Seth," Ashton said, "No."

Seth ran a hand through his hair. "It'll take you more than six hours to look this awesome," he informed Ashton helpfully.

[Guest]

"Hey you have a date?" Jake asked, smiling. For once it was great to hear about someone else's love life instead of his own. "With who?"

[Tiger-Lily]

Ashton hesitated, in Seth's opinion, a little too long.

"A classmate, you know, just a casual thing," Ashton muttered, not meeting Jake's eyes. Seth glanced at Antonio and suddenly stood up, deciding to intervene before Antonio opened his big mouth.

"Let's go check out a porn site, Tony!" he declared, and grabbed Antonio's arm, tugging him off his seat and out of the living room, down to Seth's dorm room. Ashton flashed Seth a grateful smile before they left.

[Guest]

"But I wanna see bloodshed--" Antonio's statement was cut off since Seth had dragged him along like a toy.


Jake grinned, "Hey that's cool. I wanna meet her when she comes by." Jake said, looking down at his watch. "Maybe I'll catch her if I'm home from work by then, see ya later and if I don't good luck tonight." Jake said turning to leave.

[Tiger-Lily]

"Oh, no, um, I'm picking her up at her place - she lives in Midtown," Ashton said hastily. "It's nothing serious, bro, just a regular date like any other."

[Guest]

"Well whatever, good to hear about a love life that isn't mine for once. Good luck with the date! Gotta get to work, and figure out how to get Red to forgive me for breaking her window!" Jake yelled out to Ashton walking out of the door.

[Tiger-Lily]

Ashton had a smile plastered on his face, which fell when Jake left. "Fuck," he muttered, and then called out loudly, "HE'S GONE!".

[[FF to an hour later]]

Evelyn yanked open the door with Nova under one arm, growling to be freed to go attack the strangers in Evelyn's room. "Hey, Ash," she said with a grimace as the sounds of banging reached them. "Come on in."

She closed the door behind Ashlee and said, "Um, we can't leave right away. I'm sorry, I have workmen reinstalling a window frame in my room because Jake's fat head cracked the damn glass and they'll repair my latch too." So I can keeo him out.

[Guest]

"Its okay, I saw that action Facebook by the way. He seems like he feels really bad for doing so." Ashlee said walking into her suite as they headed to the living area.


***

"So he's not gonna pound you then?" Antonio asked, a bit disappointed.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn just shrugged. "Should have stopped a moment before smacking his head onto my window if he is all that considerate then," she said, flopping down onto the couch. "Instead, he's all, I should be mad at you!"

***

Ashton raised an eyebrow at Antonio and shook his head, heading past Antonio adn Seth to his own room. "I'll uh, tell him if I feel the need."

[Guest]

"HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY! THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!" Antonio hollered as Ashton walked away, Antonio got up to go to his own room.

***

"Oh well I'm sure he was just mad too since you both have incredibly short tempers. But he seems like he really does feel bad. You should both cut each other some slack." Ashlee told Evelyn.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn shrugged, annoyed. "I will after I've paid off the repair bill," she said shortly. The sounds of hammering and drilling reached them and Nova wiggled in her arms so she set him down. He bolted under the couch, little tail sticking out as it waggled.

[Guest]

Ashlee shook her head, "You two are a trip."

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn just shrugged.

The girls waited around a couple more hours while the workmen hammered away. Around four PM, they came out and let Evelyn know they'd done installing. Evelyn saw them out and then headed to ehr room, sliding her new window up and down adn locking it.

"Hey, they installed a real lock," she said gleefully, picturing Jake's face when he realized he couldn't just slide a knife under this - because it was an actual bolt lock. She walked over to her closet and grabbed some clothes. "I'll change real quick and then we'll be off!"

She headed for the bathroom (leaving Ashlee to admire her new window) and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. She walked back to her room, grabbing a few long necklaces and setting down her jewelry box. She took out a pair of hoop earrings, a four-finger ring and heavy boots. Grabbing her coat, she slipped on lipgloss and liner. She ran a brush through her hair and was about to turn away when she spotted the bracelet James had given her where she'd recently dropped it on her dresser. She slipped it on and showed it to Ashlee. "Look, James' Christmas gift."

[Guest]

"Its cute, I'm sure James will appreciate it when he sees it. You trying to get him to notice you and ask you out to prom." Ashlee teased Evelyn.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn blinked, confused, and her face reddened slightly. "Um, I'm not planning to wear it around James," she said hastily, having half a mind to take it off. But she didn't want to keep some kind of taboo around the bracelet! Plus, James wasn't going to see it. He wasn't going shopping with them!

She grabbed her coat and purse. "Let's just go. I have to drop Nova at the boys' place."

She picked up the puppy after she had her coat on, left her window unlocked for now and headed out of the suite, locking it behind her and Ashlee.

They reached the boys' suite and Evelyn dropped Nova into Ashton's arms. The girls proceeded to the elevator and out to Fifth Avenue.

[Guest]

Ashlee and Evelyn had returned and were just sort of hanging out in her dorm. Evelyn was writing a note and took a picture of it making it her profile picture on Facebook.

Since her and Jacob were being five year olds, and bickering.

***

"OOOOH BROTHER!!! Art thou ready for thine big day!!" Antonio skipped into his room, bouncing around like a hyperactive child.

[Tiger-Lily]

Ashton had his headphones over his ears, the ones he'd told Lola about with industrial-strength volume-blocking. He glanced up at Antonio and saw his mouth move.

He shrugged. Whatever Antonio had to say. Ashton nodded and returned to typing on his computer.

***

Evelyn scribbled happily on a clean sheet of paper in her looseleaf notebook: YOU'RE A DOUCHE.

She picked up her phone and snapped a picture after making Ashlee hold it. To enhance the effect, she closed the curtains, turned off all the lights and shone a flashlight onto the notebook, feeling much better after she had reset her Profile picture.

[Guest]

Antonio frowned, and went up to Ashton pulling out his headphone. "HEY ROMEO!"

***

"You're both idiots." Ashlee remarked, uploading a couple of photos of Evelyn from her phone.

[Tiger-Lily]

Ashton yelped and tumbled sideways off his seat, landing on the floor with a thud. "Owww! Tony!" He glowered and scrambled back up. Rubbing his stinging elbow, he growled, "Reserve that for Jake, would you?"

***

Evelyn was glowering down at Jake's profile picture. "He's being a jerk! Well, whatever, screw him." She shut down the FB app and tossed her phone onto the couch beside her, turning to Ashlee and sipping the cold cocktail she and Ashlee had mixed up. She set it down on the floor near her feet and said, "So, anyways, what's up with you and Luke these days?"

[Guest]

"Oooh come on! Aren't you excited and ready for your big day?!" Antonio nudged his brother with his foot.


***

"Me and Luke? We're fine. I wasn't aware we were dating, but we're good. Why do you ask?" Ashlee asked, circling her finger around the rim of the glass.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn snickered. "I wasn't aware either," she said. Her expression sobered as she threw back the last of her drink. "No, I just meant, he's been kind of stiff lately around you. I mean, you used to be all buddy-buddy."

***

Ashton quirked an eyebrow up at his brother. "Why are you so excited? It's not really my first date." He was honestly more scared of Jake than he was nervous about his date.
