[Accidental Video][Forward dated to tomorrow monring]

[suze-querida.livejournal.com]

[And now for something you aren't likely to see very often, DDD.

Suze is sitting in the principal's office of her school. She's sitting in front of Father Dominic's chair, crying. Not just a tear here and there, either. No, she is full on sobbing. The older priest sits at his chair behind the desk, looking slightly uncomfortable.]

Come now. You've got to be an adult about this, Susannah.

[Suze's response is unintelligible noise.]

I have no doubt that you will handle this situation, Susannah, as you've handled all others in your life, with...well, if not grace, then aplomb. And now you had better go. First period is nearly over.

[Suze sniffles pathetically as the video cuts off.]

Suze, what happened?

[A Few Hours Later]

[suze-querida.livejournal.com]

You have got to be kidding me. It recorded?

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

Is what this place does best, meddle in our private lives.

[suze-querida.livejournal.com]

It's bad enough Father Dom had to see that. But the whole community?

Excuse me while I go find a rock to hide under for the next decade or so.

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Suze.

You was crying, it's not bad to cry. What happened?

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

What's wrong?

[A Few Hours Later]

[suze-querida.livejournal.com]

Nothing.

It's a long, stupid, sappy story.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

I guess it's none of my business.

[suze-querida.livejournal.com]

It isn't anybody's but the community has a different idea about that.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

You don't have to talk about it, anyway. I was just curious.

Hey. You okay?

[Pause because awkward though trying to give a smile to cheer her up. Insert stupid joke in 3...2...1...]

You never told me your real names was Susannah. [/done]

I've been better. [She sniffs and shrugs. Her eyes are pretty puffy and red.]

And there a reason for that.

[quidditch-stag.livejournal.com]

Want to talk about it? [Because ex-boyfriends always want to help, right?]

I figured. It's nice though.

[Video/Locked]

[suze-querida.livejournal.com]

Not really. It's...stupid. Really stupid.

I like Suze better.

[quidditch-stag.livejournal.com]

You don't have to tell me. But I'm here if you want to. And no matter how stupid you think it is, I bet I've done something worse.

Me too.

[shadow_spread]

What happened?

[suze-querida.livejournal.com]

Nothing. It's nothing.

Just me being a complete idiot.

[shadow_spread]

If you say so.

Have you ever been in love? [Yes, it is the rare mushy Suze. Enjoy!]

[locked]

[shadow_spread]

...I can't say I have.

[pinball-baby.livejournal.com]

...Suze? What's up?

[suze-querida.livejournal.com]

Nothing. It's just something stupid.

[pinball-baby.livejournal.com]

It didn't look stupid. It looked serious.

[suze-querida.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I just cried like that...

[pinball-baby.livejournal.com]

I know that feeling.
