Room 308, Friday Morning

[bitten_notshy]

Jack hadn't really slept after getting back from his date with Emma. He'd taken a token nap, but in the end the excitement got to him. By seven, he was dressed and his possessions had been boxed neatly. (He had no idea how he'd acquired so many things in just over a year, but he had.)

He had a few hours before his portal left, so he rested on his bare mattress, reading the book Ms. Cabot had given him as a way of focusing his mind away from his nerves. He'd have Sebastien in his new world; nothing could go too far wrong.

The door to the room was open.

"I don't tend to make plans that far ahead," Alex said, shrugging a shoulder. "I'll go to classes, probably get into a fight or two, get drunk but that's all I have planned. Not going anywhere for awhile so I've got time to build my legacy."

"You're a senior now, so you're supposed to terrorize freshmen, aren't you?" Jack asked. "I missed my chance. I hadn't seen enough modern movies then."

"Eh, that's true," Alex said, nodding. "And the fresh meat does arrive tomorrow. Maybe I could convince someone that Rose is a maneater in every sense of the word and likes the new students the best."

"She'd kill you," Jack pronounced. (Though the suggestion did remind him he'd missed Rose lately.)

Then: "Get someone to film the whole thing, if you do. I'd want to see it."

"I'm too adorable to kill," Alex said, smirking. "She couldn't hit such a pretty face. I'd charm her."

She'd break his nose.

Jack laughed disbelievingly. "She has known you for a while, Alex. She might be immune."

"Hey, I always have a trick or two up my sleeve," Alex said, smug. "Don't underestimate me, Jack. That's when I'm at my best."

[bitten_notshy]

"I'll believe it when I see it," Jack said.

"I'd say stick around so you will but since you can't, I'll just say don't get your ass killed so you can come back and see it," Alex said.

[bitten_notshy]

Jack grinned. "I think that's my main guideline for the rest of my life," he said. "Don't get killed."

"Don't get killed," Alex said and offered Jack his hand. "And I'll see you around, all right?"

[bitten_notshy]

Jack drew the hand into a firm handshake. "Absolutely," he said. "Don't let the island fall apart without me."

"I'll do my best," Alex promised, smiling. "You're a good guy, Jack. Hope the real world's good to you."

[bitten_notshy]

"I might say the same to you," Jack nodded. "I hope the island doesn't find too many interesting ways to torture you after I go."

"If it does, I'll be sure to keep you updated," Alex laughed, giving Jack's shoulder a pat. "Good luck, man. See you soon, yeah?"

[bitten_notshy]

"Absolutely."
