[color=9f1f19][i]So what are you gonna do, Jade?[/i][/color]

Usually the answer to that question was a simple one. Go for a run. Go kick the ball around. Go chop some asparagus. This time, there was no easy solution. That was troubling for Ms. Scott. 

She could try and talk to Joey. She could look for the neon pixie and try to figure out just what happened on the lake shore on the weekend. Figure out what it meant. But that would be a long, potentially awkward conversation. 

She could try and talk to Lottie. She could look for the ace and try to figure out what the deal was between her and Joey and what the status actually was between the two roommates. But that would be a definitely awkward conversation. Plus, Joey seemed pretty adamant that Lottie not be involved in any sort of discussion. 

She could try to talk to Kieran. ...Actually no. Screw that. Kieran is a dick. Talking to him is not in the cards.

So what could she do?

She could stop sulking in the bathroom, that's for sure. That seemed like a good first step.

The soccer star finally lifted herself from the counter in the bathroom and looked at herself. [color=9f1f19][i]All right, stop hiding and get out there.[/i][/color] With renewed purpose, Jade finally exited the bathroom she had ducked into. She still didn't know what that purpose was for though.
