Gemma ( @gems-campbell​ )

“Hey, Gems. Do you have a minute?”

Zander didn’t want to interrupt, of course, but he did want to talk to her. Maybe not about anything too important. He wasn’t sure how much there was to say about the gym incident other than thank you at this point. He could get into how angry he was at everyone else until he was blue in the face, but, would that change anything? Gemma hadn’t gone against them, and with the lines in the sand he was drawing in his head, she was very much an us, rather than a them. She stood on the same side of the room as Helena until everyone got their act together and voted (admittedly, with the majority being unforgivably wrong), and neither of them killed each other. Which, as much as he cared for both of them - he’d be lying if he said he didn’t feel like that was a miracle all in itself.

“I was wondering if maybe we could hang out? If you’re not too busy.” The distraction might be beneficial anyway, even if the conversation somehow shifted to the gym, at least he knew they were on the exact same side.

Who: Gemma and Zander ( @gems-campbell​ ) Where: Someplace with seating (I... sorta open-ended this one whelp) When: A couple days after prom

“I’m never drinking again.” Zander decides as he settles down next to Gemma. “Did you have a hangover after prom or was that just me?” Sure there was a lot to judge with Leo in the corner, which was actually a blast, and now he finally understood why Sav and Marcello were acting so weird during game night. Although did that mean he actually had to continue getting along with her? Sure, he bashed heads with Marcello often enough, but they were still friends. God, this was going to be another Elliot, wasn’t it? But he could stress that later, Gemma didn’t want to hear about his quarter-life crisis or whatever this year was at this point. “It was a lot more peaceful than I expected it to be, though, I actually had fun.”
