She tilted her head, unable to hide the frown that formed on her pretty face. "Seems like a kinda sad way to live life though... I mean, you always will form expectations, you can't help it... You're a person. Though I guess it's nice to be surprised by people when you don't expect anything from them but still..." She floundered a bit and laughed when he admitted he didn't want to be boring. "Nah, you're not boring." She started bouncing around again, her energy back in high mode because of the song. "So do you go to the high school here?" She rolled her expressive blue eyes at him. "Trust me, the right signs come on their own terms; you'd never be able to intrude." She stopped and made a disgusted face before laughing. "Damn, that made me sound vaguely creeper-like."

Nate gave an appreciative laugh. "Not creeper-like at all. Just... Nevermind," he shook his head. He didn't believe in signs, never had, never will. If anything, they meant something bad was coming. All the nights his mother came home later, then later and later; all the common colds and flu his father kept getting, every time worse than the last. In the end, she just didn't come home, and he just never got better. It explained his life policy of having low-expectations. "And having expectations is one thing. It's when they get too high that there's a problem." He was grateful for the change in tempo "Yeah, I go to the high school. Well, let me rephrase that. I'm enrolled at the high school. If I actually go depends on the day."

Jackie scoffed and playfully shoved his shoulder before continuing a random two-step on the dance floor. "What was that nevermind for?" She shrugged and smiled. "I guess that makes sense. Having too much of anything is bad, you know?" She rolled her eyes at him. "Great, a delinquent. I don't think I could hang out with you now." She waggled her eyebrows suggestively at him and laughed.

Laughing, Nate threw his head back. He was glad he found someone he could actually get along with; that was rare. He couldn't even relate to his cousins half the time. "I'm not a delinquent," he pouted. "I just got a lot of learnin' on the road, don't really feel like sitting in some classroom listening to a teacher who hates her job drone on and on about Moscow or Stockholm when i've been there like ten times. Bor-ing!"

Jackie rolled her eyes emphatically and tugged lightly on a strand of his hair. "As if; even if you've been to those places; it doesn't mean you can't learn anything from the teacher. Sure they don't even sound like they enjoy being in the classroom but you're in school for a reason you know." She too, didn't like school but she still did her best anyway because she wanted to make her parents proud of her... Even if they weren't around anymore. "Yes, you are a delinquent child." She laughed and pinched his cheek.

Nate just laughed again, tapping Jackie on the nose. “That’s precisely why I hate being there; I know the teacher doesn’t want to be there either. If I wanted to learn about a country, I’d go to someone who was actually interested in teaching about. Which means I’d have to go to that country. Then instead of looking at a picture of Trevi fountain, I can go there. Stick my hand in the water. See the imperfections in the carvings. I can walk the Great Wall to see how far it goes instead of just reading about how many miles it is.” Troy and Natalia both approached and poked Nate in the back of the neck. “Hey cous,” Natalia slurred. “Wassuup?” she haphazardly slung an arm across his shoulders. “So, yeah,” Troy began. “My sister is drunk. I think we’re gonna take off. You coming?” “Uh, not sure,” Nate shrugged, unintentionally shaking his cousin’s arm loose. “You guys head out, I’ll catch up,” He turned back to Jackie. “Maybe we should call it a night?”

Jackie pulled away, startled at Natalia's sudden entrance. She bit the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing at the ridiculously drunk girl and nodded, grinning at Troy. "Obviously." She gave Nate a mock salute. "Find me at school then; my family and I should get to steppin' as well. It's pretty late and I'm pretty sure my brother's grumpy already. It was nice meeting you Nate."

“It was very nice meeting you, Miss Jackie,” he leaned in to kiss her cheek. “I enjoyed your company immensely. Maybe after school sometime we can head over to Palmer’s and have one of those shakes you rave about.”

Jackie laughed and nodded. "Definitely, but if you call me Miss one more time, I'm breaking your nose." She pulled away and waved at him and his family before moving slowly back through the crowd to her family. Seph was nursing his drink and Georgie came back the same time she did; Cameron on the other hand was on the phone. "Do you guys want to go?" Georgie yawned and nodded, "Yeah... I'm beat and I promised Aunt K I'd make a quiche for breakfast." She rolled her eyes at the random requests her aunt had the habit of making as they slowly filed out of the club and made their way home.
