Ghys and her niece move to Beacon Hills
Permalink

Jackson has been acting a little weird lately.

Danny had expected the breakup with Lydia to cause some tension. If nothing else, it was up to Danny to handle future study sessions with them.

The desperate, naked ambition in Jackson's eyes wasn't new, either. It just seemed more fulfilled than usual. Danny thought he should be happy, but he was mostly worried.

Insecure Jackson was dangerous, but secure Jackson might be worse.

Besides that, though, it was a fairly normal day in Beacon Hills.

Easy classes, team practice, and the cute photographer...Danny couldn't complain.

Solvei thinks that sounds like fun!

Permalink

Solvei is quite welcome to join in, then!

Eventually, lunch. 

There's her guide!

"Solvei! I hope your first day is going okay."

Permalink

"It's been great! Thanks for showing me around."

Permalink

"You can sit at our table. It's a good way to ease into the social scene, starting with the popular kids. A bit teen drama, I know."

Permalink

"Oh, do tell me all about the teen drama."

Permalink

"Not much to tell, yet. It's ongoing. Jackson, jock, and Lydia, socialite, were dating for years, and now they're not. His ambitions have outgrown her, and she's been a bit unstable lately. According to him. According to her, he's ungrateful for all she's done and can't get over his insecurities. The three of us have always been a staple of this school, but naturally, they decided to think with their lower brains this time."

Danny goes to retrieve food.

"Our table is over there, if you're done before I am."

Permalink

She is indeed done before he is. She goes and sits over there.

Permalink

There is some sort of argument. Keywords are "not getting back together" which make the girl confused and angry.

Permalink

Another girl at the table has the presence of mind to introduce herself.

"Hi, I'm Allison. I don't think we've met yet."

Permalink

"I'm Solvei. It's lovely to meet you."

Permalink

"We try. Usually. Are you new?"

Permalink

"Yeah, moved here a few days ago."

Permalink

"It's a nice town, if a little smaller and quieter than I'm used to. We have a bowling alley, and an ice-skating rink. Lacrosse is the popular sport."

Permalink

That earns her a glare from the ambitious and insecure jock. 

He continues trying to dump his girlfriend. 

Permalink

"I have nothing against lacrosse, and I'm actively in favour of ice skating. As stereotypical as that is."

Permalink

Danny looks to be about done, but first, they have a visitor!

"Hey Solvei. Jackson, mind if I sit?"

Permalink

"Yeah. Who are you?"

Permalink

"Jackson, he's on the team. You're captain, you should probably keep better track of the people that matter."

Permalink

"Oh, quiet guy who likes his camera. Sure, you can sit. I'm about I leave anyway."

He stands up and walks off. 

Permalink

His girlfriend sniffles and returns to vacant staring.

Permalink

"...Well then," says Solvei. She turns her smile on Matt. "Hi! How was math?"

Permalink

"Fine, not really my thing. How was music?"

Permalink

Danny arrives.

"Already ran off, I see. Sorry Solvei. Oh! And Matt, at our table. Hey man, what's up?"

Permalink

"Music was good! Apparently I am a shining beacon of hope in this world because I own my own cello."

Permalink

"It's unusual around here. Hey Danny."

He places his camera on the table and sits. 

"Allison, you should give Solvei an outsider's take. I'm sure us Beacon Hills natives are a bit provincial compared to you two."
