Junior year, complete - and I'm pretty sure I can say with confidence that I haven't failed anything.

[Of course he hasn't. He's one of the good students. But that doesn't mean he wouldn't rather pursue his own interests.]

I am officially not touching a textbook for months.



[ooc: Posting form work, most tags will happen after I get home ♥

Network replies are definitely a-okay, or you can feel free to have your character run into him at Westerberg High, or around the City. Might provide action prompts later when I'm not at work? XD Replies will be from jimmy_w.]

[aprettypenny]

Hey!

[Penny chases Wilson James down. She looks exceptionally pleased with the world, which is a nice change from yesterday.]

How'd it go?

[thenormalsquint]

I could fail you right now just for saying that.

[But she wouldn't. Couldn't. Will never.]

[goodboysgood]

How were you planning to get them out of your bag?

over network or in the hall WHICHEVER WORKS

[binarysky]

Seniors next, huh? Should be a pretty good year.

after class;

[jimmy_w]

[Oh hey, Penny. He's happy to see you looking so happy; he smiles as he stops, turning to greet her with a smile.]

Oh... pretty well, I think.

Are you still feeling unflunkable?

[jimmy_w]

[He realizes that.]

You wouldn't.

[jimmy_w]

I'll make my brother do it.

hahaha either is cool with me XD in the hall???

[jimmy_w]

Should be.

Once we get past the whole getting into college part, anyway.

[goodboysgood]

What if he puts them in the wrong place?

[jimmy_w]

Fine. I guess I can touch them.

But I won't open them.

[goodboysgood]

What if one falls?

after class;

[aprettypenny]

A's across the board, right?

You know, I think I am. It was all at least C-worthy.

[Aha, it's a... bad pun. Ha.]

[jimmy_w]

Well, then I wouldn't be opening it. If it were to land in such a way as it did happen to open, I would not have done so directly.

[goodboysgood]

That blonde girl in Chem labs plans on re-reading everything over summer so she doesn't forget it.

after class;

[jimmy_w]

I don't know if it went that well.

[He smirks at the bad pun. He enjoys a terrible pun now and again, okay?]

C-worthy. Hah. I'll allow the pun, but I bet you're selling yourself short.

[jimmy_w]

I guess if she feels like she needs to...

Personally, I intend to enjoy the summer at least a little. I seriously doubt I'm going to unlearn everything in that time.

[goodboysgood]

She's getting a job, too.

after class;

[aprettypenny]

Okay, but nothing lower than a B. Give me that.

[This is why he's one of her favorite people!]

Or am I sailing myself--no, sorry, sorry. Hey, what about the dance? Are you going?

[jimmy_w]

You seem very concerned with what she's doing.

[goodboysgood]

We just had a conversation.

[On his own. With a girl. That blonde one, from chem. This has happened a little more often lately Wilson and Chase just isn't sure what to do with it.]

after class;

[jimmy_w]

I don't think so, but... we'll see.

[Shrugging that off and smiling at the continuing bad puns... he shrugs at the question, though.]

Oh, I'm... I don't know, really.

[jimmy_w]

Right.

[Which you still seem very fixated on, Chase. Just saying.]

So are you worried she's going to make everyone else look bad or do you just like her [a pause to imply that the question really ends there, though he adds:] "work ethic"?

[goodboysgood]

I hope she doesn't make everyone else look bad, because we're going to the dance.

[You know. Together.]

[jimmy_w]

Are you?

[Good going, Chase. He's cheering for you.]

Well, she'll definitely make you look bad. Though that's probably worth going with her.

after class;

[aprettypenny]

Oh. [What is with all of you guys and your unwillingness to go to the dance? Gosh.] Well, that's okay. If you change your mind, though, let me know? I need to know whether or not I'll have to hunt you down for a dance.

after class;

[jimmy_w]

Well--

[He sort of hates to admit to it, but..]

I just don't have anyone to go with, so...

[He shrugs, but keeps a little smile up.]

I'd be okay with being hunted down for a dance, though, so... I'll let you know if I do go.

o7 urgh got derailed by the sick

[binarysky]

I dunno if I'm going. College isn't the only option, you know?

after class;

[aprettypenny]

You don't need a date to go... I don't have one. Yet, I mean.

no worries! hope you feel better <3 and i am super slow rn anyway >>

[jimmy_w]

Well, no, it's just-- it feels like it's sort of assumed, you know?

[And for him, it's a given. But that doesn't mean he thinks everyone should.]

Is there something you're thinking about doing instead?

Getting there :3

[binarysky]

[He shrugs and shifts his backpack on his shoulders. It's kind of full, with all the stuff he took from his locker.]

Not really. I just don't think you always have to do what other people tell you is best. What if it's not the right thing?

good! keep going ^^

[jimmy_w]

That's true - and you have time, anyway, to figure out what it is you want to do. It's better than putting all that time into doing something you're not sure is really for you.

after class;

[jimmy_w]

You don't?

[That's surprising, okay? Penny's cute and nice, after all. But he changes his tone and opts for a playful, friendly approach. The encouraging sort, with a smile to match.]

"Yet", though. Does that mean you're going to have one?

after class;

[aprettypenny]

Not exactly. Maybe. I don't know. I have a friend at Ohtori who's trying to convince this guy I like to ask me to go, which is really sweet of her, but it's like... what if she does talk him into asking me to the dance? It doesn't mean anything because he didn't ask me because he wanted to, right? And that's not okay.

[binarysky]

I hope I do. Sometimes it feels like time's running out.

[Shaking his head]

What about you?

[jimmy_w]

I don't think it is - on high school, sure, but you don't have to go into anything immediately, not really.

[He smiles somewhat sheepishly here, because as much as he's supporting of alternate options, he's doing the expected.]

I'm going to college - or, well... I'm planning to, at least.

[binarysky]

Yeah, I know, it's just...

[He shakes his head. He doesn't know what it's just.]

Heh. Figured you would.
