( junie can feel his eyes widen as the mood at this cafe table visibly takes a nosedive — not ideal. like super not ideal, because selfishly, she's maybe now a little scared of word getting back to skye's scary powerful dad.
but worst of all? and most importantly? he's making the new kid feel bad the very first time they've met when he's already clearly having a hard time.
she frowns, gaze flickering upwards, clearly thinking Very Hard and then — junie softens a little. a sweet smile plays at the corners of his mouth, and a hand reaches across the table to give skye's a squeeze. )
Hey, let's forget the boring school stuff for today, okay? ( and that smile spreads into a grin, confidence returning to her body millisecond by millisecond. ) I think we should go to the party and have some fun. What do you think?
[Skye is a little surprised by the offer. Incredulous, even. It's almost on the tip of his tongue to ask "you still want to?" But he realizes in time that saying that would probably sound extremely pathetic.
He'd like to avoid being pathetic as much as possible.
And he supposes that even though he has mixed feelings about his dad's family not everyone does. People seem to respect them, at least.
So, instead of asking any silly questions, he accepts Junie's little hand squeeze and nods.]

Sure. Yeah. That could be fun. Where's it at?
