"So, Jayden, what are you going to be studying?" Roxanna asked, digging into her Oreo brownie monstrosity. "Don't be like me and pick music performance, because I sort of want to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge sometimes, even though I love it." She waved her free hand, gesturing wildly with her spoon. "I'm kidding. Mostly." She smiled.
Jamie smiled at Jayden's reaction. "Yeah, they usually do a pretty good job," he agreed, spooning a cluster of pecans into his mouth.
Jesse just smiled fondly around the straw of his orange julius. Jamie and Roxanna seemed like good kids, he hoped they might encourage Jayden to come out of his shell a little more.
