Janie tapped a pencil on her lip as she mulled over the crossword puzzle in front of her. Work had been hard on her today, as there was a snippy rider visiting for a competition. Janie didn’t tie his horse up correctly or something like that. It took a lot of willpower to not let that poor horse loose and claim stupidity.
The house was silent for the most part, minus the audiobook Janie had on in the background. It kind of helped her concentrate on the mental puzzle she had in front of her. Sam was out with his girlfriend, and her parents were out on a date. Kiara was with Courtney, so Janie was allowed some space. Even if it was for a few hours.
Giving up, Janie closed the crossword book. Her stomach grumbled, and a frown crossed her lips. It had been a minute since she ate. There were some leftovers, but Janie wanted something a bit fresher. Her mom had gotten some elbow noodles, a few boxes of them too. Mac n’ cheese sounded good. Everyone in the house liked it, especially if they were hung over.
Turning up her audiobook, Janie started the oven and got the ingredients out for grammy’s mac. A few kinds of cheese were substituted, but it all tasted good. Engrossed in the task in front of her, Janie didn’t hear the footsteps that followed the front door opening and closing.
Theo had had a pretty busy morning, but then again most of his mornings were busy. He had written himself a tight schedule, with almost every minute of his life organised efficiently. Some of his friends thought it was nuts when they saw his calendar, how he could spend so many hours a night on homework with his sports practices and everything else in between. Sleep was sometimes illusive for him and he occasionally found himself finishing projects at 3am instead anyway, which gave him a little more room in the day to play with; even as it felt like his eyelids were drooping down his face. Nobody ever thought he looked tired; in fact nobody had any idea that he was such a study freak unless they knew him well. That was how he liked it.
Tonight he'd squeezed in some socialising time - practice came first, but once that was done and they had showered, he'd grabbed his stuff and followed Jack back to his house. He had been here a few times; it was a nice place, typically American family type of house and very homely but he liked it. It was nice to get off campus sometimes too, and he put out of mind the amount of work he still had left to complete. It was tough, it needled at him, but tonight wasn't about that. He thought Jack might mention study and he did have his books, but he'd figured it was more going to be about hanging out and getting something to eat. Jack was good for Theo, he seemed to be able to remind him not to work too hard and to eat at the right times when he sometimes got stuck in his head. Theo was grateful for it. As they headed inside, he hung back and let his friend go first, noticing the silence that greeted them. "Is everyone out?"
Jack walked up the driveway alongside Theo, having invited his friend over to chill and maybe get a proper decent home-cooked meal if his mother was about. If not, they could always order in. Even though Jack had opted to stay at the university this year - having a rich bestie came in handy - he still spent a few nights a week at home. He was obliged to do family night twice a week, which he actually loved and it was just easier to spend the night rather than making the effort to drive back to the dorms whilst in a food coma. Now things where out about Jade he would probably end up spending more time at her flat than in his dorm room which would probably just end up being a place he could dump his crap and nap in between classes.
"Is everyone out? He opened the front door and walked into the house, flicking on the light and listening for any sign of life. "I think so. . mums car was gone and dad's still at work." He said, glancing back at Theo. "Or not. ." He said as a few noises in the kitchen caught his attention. He followed the sounds to the source, his little sister. "Hey Harps, whatcha making?" He asked peering at the ingredients. "Feel like making me and Theo some too?" He asked, gesturing towards the male behind him.

The sound of her brother’s voice scared her, making Janie jump – her fingers barely missing the grate. “Ah, goddammit.” She was out of it. The teen placed the grater and cheese block down and turned to see Jack and his friend Theo. She gave them a shy smile, kicking herself for not looking better. Janie had no reason to worry about that right? She lived here, she could dress like however she wanted – but her brain was racing nowadays. Janie was looking at her brother’s friends in ways…only rom-coms could explain.
Realizing she hadn’t said anything to follow her brother’s question – she blushed and stammered for a moment. “Oh, hey – um, yeah – sure! I’m just making Gram’s mac ‘n cheese. You know those Midwesterners love their forty pounds of cheese and noodles. It’ll be a bit so hopefully, you’re not too starving right now?”
He glanced at Jack as he flicked on a light, hearing the quiet of the house. Jack's house always seemed to be a peaceful place, and even when everyone was out there was a warmth about the place that felt comforting. Not that he had a terrible homelife, he guessed that was the kind of thing people felt when they had a bad home-life, it was just nice that it felt like that as a visitor. He always felt welcome, like if he had to go somewhere for help, he could go to Jack's. "I think so. . mums car was gone and dad's still at work." He hadn't noticed the driveway, but then he hadn't been thinking about it. "Or not. ." Theo gave an easy smile, having also suddenly heard some noises coming from the kitchen, and assuming it wasn't a burguler banging about in there making lunch.
He followed Jack into the kitchen, seeing a girl who he recognised as his friend's sister making something over the hob. "Hey Harps, whatcha making? Feel like making me and Theo some too?" He gave a quick smile and raised his hand in a hello, eyebrows raising slightly as she seemed startled and grated her fingers. Ouch. He hadn't thought they were being so quiet. Lads, but default, were generally not quiet. “Oh, hey – um, yeah – sure! I’m just making Gram’s mac ‘n cheese. You know those Midwesterners love their forty pounds of cheese and noodles. It’ll be a bit so hopefully, you’re not too starving right now?” Theo gave her a quick smile, "Mac and cheese sounds good to me, I'd be grateful for it. Thanks."
“Ah, goddammit.” His right brow lifted as his sister yelled out after grating herself instead of the cheese. ”You okay?” His unannounced presence didn’t usually startle his sister. Quiet definitely wasn’t in jackson’s vocabulary. “Oh, hey – um, yeah – sure! I’m just making Gram’s mac ‘n cheese. You know those Midwesterners love their forty pounds of cheese and noodles. It’ll be a bit so hopefully, you’re not too starving right now?” He refrained from raising his brow again in question to her stammering. His sister was clearly in a weird mood that afternoon. ”Sounds perfect. . yeah we have time to wait.” He smiled. He grabbed two cans of diet coke from the fridge and offered one to Theo. ”Where’s mum gone?” He asked, assuming she’d know with being home.
