Apartment

Scott smiles a little and nods to Hope. "Okay. I'll call you in the morning and let you know what's happening. I'll, um..." He shifts his weight a bit awkwardly. "I'll be working the morning so... yeah."

He knew that she would see this as an accomplishment, but wasn't sure if he wanted it to be a big deal or not. He didn't want to disappoint anybody if he found out he really wasn't ready to start work again. "I talked to Reese," he explains. "And he's gonna let me work again... just a little, ya know? See if... if I can handle it and stuff." 

Jason returns a smile to Misty, wanting to stay for her, but glad to see her determined enough to go for it alone. "You better not let him win... Otherwise, you're not the Misty I know." He gives her a wink before reaching over and giving her leg a pat. 

Standing, he stretches and yawns. "Okay well... I should get home. Don't forget to call if you need anything and..." He pauses, thinking before looking back down at her. "If you want me to help tell some people at work tomorrow, I will.

"...and so I got a pay raise and they went ahead and gave me these hours permanently. And then later, Professor Deitrik told me he'd like to see me in another class, so I'm gonna see if maybe they'll let me." 

Excitement was not something that anyone would have ever heard in Gage's voice, had they known him before. But tonight, it was unmistakeable. It was getting late, but it was the only time he'd been able to get together with Sapphire today after he'd finished work, and he'd been dying to tell her about his day. After another janitor at the school had quit the month before, he'd taken on the extra work, but knowing it might only be temporary. Even so, he'd finally made plans to find his own place and he had - and now today it was confirmed that he'd actually be able to stay here and start a real future since his job was secure. 

Lying on his back on the living room floor, the apartment was still quite bare. But he didn't care. He was paying for it all on his own and last week had been his first week without an Elite allowance. And it felt... good. The building wasn't too far away from where he'd been, and still within walking distance to work - he'd gotten used to taking the forty-five minute walk every day. The apartments weren't the most fantastic but they weren't the worst either and at least the landlord was nice.

Smiling, he turns his head on the carpet to look up at Sapphire and he laughs. "Now I just gotta get that driver's license and find me a car so I can start picking you up for dates instead of the other way around."
