"Oh, all right." Andrew leaned over and looked at Michael. "Are you trying to find inspiration in the natural shape of the pumpkin, Mike? I think don't think it will make it through 48 hours from now. No worries on having it last a lifetime." Michael- "Yeah... maybe I'll make it look like Colin and then we can toss it under a car tonight."
He kept shooting glances over at Gabriel, and then back at the pumpkin. "Maybe just carve a moon or something?"

Heather- "No... just, y'know..." She glanced over to Lucy who was hunched over in furious paper cutting work like she was the world's most serious sushi chef. Izzy- "Yeah, let's think about something else, huh? Hey I can't wait to see how cool the dance is gonna look!"

"The Decorations look great so far." Gabriel felt Andrew's constant glances and it took him all of sixty seconds until he broke and sent him back a side eye. His face reddened again and he settled back into the carving at a fierce pace—if he kept it up at this rate he'd be on the next pumpkin in a couple of minutes. He side-eyed Andrew again and mouthed 'What!?' when nobody else was looking.

Andrew blinked, glancing around the room like a meerkat. Offering Gabriel a shrug, he turned back to cutting the stars almost as frantically as Lucy was. He tried not to giggle but couldn't help himself. The star only had four points. "I am not sure if this means I fail at art or math. I mean... it's a diamond... sort of. Oh, Lucy, why can't I be as skilled as you?" With a heavy sigh, to cover a growing blush, he continued to cut out shapes, the construction paper seeming heavier than he remembered. Lucy- "Thanks Andrew, you're sweet. *sigh*"

Gabriel did finish his first pumpkin in an appalling fast period of time and was about to start his second, a jolly one he was going to turn into a creepily happy jack-o-lantern, when he glanced over at Andrew's 'stars'. A strangled, uncharacteristic giggle wracked from his mouth and had to take a few deep breaths. "Oh jeez, 'Drew." He walked up behind him, reached over and drew, leaning over him, a star on the paper. He laughed. "Man, if you draw it first you can cut on the lines and erase the pencil after. Just do it lightly." He demonstrated, stealing the scissors right out from Andrew's hands and cutting halfway around the star before returning the scissors and handing the star to him. "Got it?" He lingered there for a second, his chest nearly knocking Andrew's shoulder, before sitting back down and brandishing his knife. He was still giggling, but his blush had returned faster than he'd like.

The world seem to go silent, and only his heart beating in his ears made him remember he was alive. The lingering fingers, the touching of the hand, the giggle... it all made sense. "Thanks, Gabriel..." Andrew attempted once again to cut slower. Leaning forward, he sighed and tried to keep his voracious giggle from ruining his prefect traced star. He tried to sigh an attempt to calm himself, but only restarted his fit. "I think today, after everything... had been a good day. The ending, at least, was the best so far." He set the scissors down and picked up the pencil to draw a star, only it coming out more like a heart. "I'm totally lacking any medium of art aside from acting. I swear, it as if it truly is a different portion of the brain all together."

"I would say that geometry's not much of an art, but the ghost of the cubist spirit might slit my throat." Gabriel said glibly, putting the finishing touches on his jolly pumpkin's right eye. "So when do we have to go put all this up?" He said, accidentally shooting a glance Andrew's way, before ripping out the last of his pumpkin's guts. "Oh, yuck. I'm going to have to bleach my hands."

Andrew grew intent on his snipping and shaping, making a few more oddly shaped stars as well as shooting stars, six pointed stars and even those weird Japanese stars that happened in the corner of people's eyes in those odd cartoons with the long points on top and bottom. "Uh, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it won't be too long now. And don't make fun of my geometry! I think it just should be left more open to interpretations... as opposed to say, uhm, Math Law or whatever." He sighed, resting his chin on his hand. "I guess there is going to be a bit clean up over there at Gourd Massacre Central, hmm?" Andrew gave Gabriel another flash of smile and blush. "It looks good, Gabriel. It really does. Do you think they'll let us use real candles or will we have to, like, string up lights between them?" Rising out of his chair, he stood next to Gabriel, tilting his head to the side as he appraised the work.

"Hum. I don't know. There's probably some law against me lighting it myself, isn't there?" He bit his lip, staring at it. "I dunno." "You really like him?" Gabriel pretended to appraise it seriously, even stroking his chin thoughtfully. He'd worked himself into a bit of a joking mood. He threw his head back, looking upside down at Andrew. "You don't think I should trash him? It would be 'a mercy killing. He has a certain naive charm, but no muscle.'" He held a straight face for 30 seconds, baby blues wide and serious and upsidedown before he cracked a smile and started snickering.

Andrew blushed, his cheeks turning to bright apples as he giggled after Gabriel. " Can't you just see it? Don't dream it, be it." Andrew swam for as long as he could in those eyes, melting a bit. Taking a few reminiscent sighs, he nodded approvingly. "Yes, keep him. Don't loose your head over it, though."

"Ha." Gabriel righted himself and cleaned off his side of the table as best he could. He wiped off his hands and consciously had to stop himself from running them through his hair or rubbing his neck. He might have a problem. He bit his lip and looked around at the decorations they had so far, and it wasn't looking bad at all; The Dance should be nice. The day really had ended a lot better than it started. Hopefully the night would follow suit. "So, Lucy, what did you decide to wear? I bet you'll look 'mondo' cute." He winced at the word, but he hoped it'd make her grin. Lucy- "Aw, hehe... I think I'm probably just gonna be a boring old cat. *sigh*"

Somewhere, a door opened. The world had gone dark outside, and the art room suddenly seemed like a glowing fishbowl. Izzy eyed the door of the art room, which was slightly propped open, looking like she might dive for it any second. Footsteps, drawing closer... Then-- a dark figure came through the door and--! Janitor- "You kids need me up on that ladder anytime soon?"
Lucy- "Oh Donald, you scared us! Sorry-- yeah we're almost done. Guess we should get over there, right guys?"
Lucy seemed in slightly higher spirits with some therapeutic crafting, and Michael was finished making a crooked mouthed leer on a pumpkin's face.

"Yeah! Come on, Gabriel. Bring your spare head. I got the stars, well, the artistic stars done. Maybe I should have used glitter or sequins or something. Oh, well." Andrew moved to help Lucy finish up. "WOAH! Lucy! That's incredible!"

Lucy- "Aw thanks Andrew, yeah... I got in the zone." Lucy gathered up arms full of colorful star cutouts, along with the other girls, and moved out into the hall with Donald. Michael picked up his lone pumpkin and followed. As you like, go back to the cafeteria thread!
