(I have to go, I don’t know when I’ll be back)
(Aww! We'll miss you!)
(aw okay)
The boy's eyes widen to saucers. Hesitantly, he picks himself up from the ground, brushing dirt off of his knees. "O-kay." Gulping, Maverick follows her instructions, albeit clumsily. His hands are white as they strangle the chains, quite literally holding on for dear life. Muscles jerk into place as Maverick forces his body to imitate the girl's graceful one. Yet… he is swinging.
"O… kay?" Beatriz says, shrugging. She turns to Lure, "you won't leave me, right? I might have to actually leave the room and talk to real people if people keep leaving."
"Boys are so dramatic," she complains, saucily adding an eye roll. "But, Draven agreed with me on one thing: You. And. Ryuu. Flirt. Like. There's. No. Tomorrow." Lure emphasizes. "Go after him! Worry like a mother hen as to why he was so out of it, today." A playful - still forceful - shove and kick had Beatriz on her feet.
CC sat on the swing watching him do what he probably thinks is swinging. She giggles ever so adorably, She starts swinging, leaning back as far as she could, closing her eyes, her hair dancing, the wind its partner.
"I missed this….. this stress free time, I feel like im flying. I wish I could."
She stops and looks at him and smiles, leaning forward, looking him in the eyes, his hair, his hands, gripping the chain.
"wouldn't it be so cool to fly…."
Her alabaster eyes gleaming, staring into his viridescent eyes . She was the girl whose eyes are like mirrors to her soul and she did all she wanted all day, yet this was definitely her favorite part…. doing whatever she wanted…. with him.
The sun had completed its tour for the day, and had now been replaced by myriad stars, which dotted the inky canopy. A low, waning gibbous moon hovered tenuously in the twilight firmament, bestowing a very dim light upon the land. It was a cool, windy night; the swaying of trees and rustling of leaves could be heard but not seen, as the encompassing darkness had blotted out all but the faintest light. Briefly, a dark, wispy cloud eclipsed the crescent moon. For a few shadowy moments, it looked like there was a halo around the cloud, a dull aura of lunar luminescence.
Orion's Belt could be seen to the north. It had taken its place for the night amongst a thousand other celestial constellations known and unknown, real and imagined. It, too, succumbed to the veil of cloud cover. Patiently, it waited for the nebulous cirrus clouds to pass, waited for the moment it would shine bright once more.
Ryuu sat silently in the lobby, sitting in one of the sofas, the people who are going to the summer trip had their suitcases along the wall. Ryuu was waiting to take his suitcase down when they were leaving, he had already finished packing, yet he didn't trust anyone.
He had no idea what he would do on the trip, or what it would be like. He's never been to a trip like that, he was indeed nervous.
Everyone else was either in their dorms, out in the city, or eating dinner in the cafeteria, he wanted to get away from everyone though. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and started scrolling through Instagram pointlessly
(Dannnng girl that description)
He glances with envy at CC's graceful swinging, she truly is at home outside. Chuckling, Maverick breathes, "Yeah." I would give her wings if I could. The thought distracts him, pulling on every heart string. I want her to be mine. I want to take her to dinner. Go to parks. Swing together. With his mind no longer focused on thinking about the swing, Maverick's form moves naturally to the rhythm. Accompanying the rising and falling of the set, his body counters forces and follows his lead, CC.
CC holds out her hand to the moonshine, a flower materializes in her palm. Luminesant in the darkness, it gleamed, shining on her eyes, making them look almost silver. And within five seconds, the flower vanished, glitter like particals flowing up in the air, then dissipating in the cold air.
"lets do something!"
She stood up off of the swing, her hair bouncing around as she moves. Her skirt blowing in the wind, acting like she didn't just make something appear out of thin air (its the norm for her)
"Boys are so dramatic," she complains, saucily adding an eye roll. "But, Draven agreed with me on one thing: You. And. Ryuu. Flirt. Like. There's. No. Tomorrow." Lure emphasizes. "Go after him! Worry like a mother hen as to why he was so out of it, today." A playful - still forceful - shove and kick had Beatriz on her feet.
"Lure - what the hell?" Beatriz protests, fending off Lure with a small laugh. "Shut up, I can walk on my own," she mutters, crossing her arms as she leaves the room. Walking over to the lobby, she saw Ryuu on the sofa and plopped down next to him. "Hey. What's up?"
Ryuu looks at the girl calmly, his aqua eyes looking a little dim.
"oh hey! Um whatchya doing?"
He smiles at her, his eyes brighter now, his teeth showing through his sweet smile. He looked exhausted yet he was trying to be happy. He scooted away from her a tiny bit.
"sorry I don't you to be squished!"
He chuckles a tiny bit.
"Pfft, it's fine," Beatriz assures him with a grin. Then her smile fades. "But seriously, what's going on? Are you ok?" She asks with concern in her eyes.
Ryuu looks at the girl and smiles convincingly.
"oh I'm fine! I'm just a little exhausted ya know? With the whole summer trip thing. Packing sucks."
He leans forward in the sofa and smiles at her.
"are you going to the trip?"
He asks her adjusting himself in the seat.
Beatriz smiles brightly. "Yeah, my choir teacher - er, Ms. Lamonte, she's the one who let me in. I literally almost fell out of my seat," she says, laughing at herself. "I have no clue why she picked me, but at least, like, all of my friends are going, so that's fun."
He ruffles his hair, almost looking like a prince, he straightens his back, to sit up straight.
"so who all do you know that's going?"
He turns his head to look at the pretty girl. He barely even knew her.
what am I doing asking her these questions… In an idiot
He thinks as he cringes at himself.
Beatriz runs a hand through her hair subconsciously, unintentionally making it significantly more messy. "Oh, I'm actually, like, really bad at remembering things?" She says, her voice making the statement sound like a question. "So, yeah, I have no memory of who's going. Pretty sure Lure is, though. And me. And you, obviously," she says, smiling a bit embarrassedly.
He smiles at her,
"yeah I forget sometimes to"
He looked at her hair and laughed a little, reaching his hand out to her face, fixing her hair, setting strands where they belonged. He smiled at her sweetly.
"ah I'm so sorry…. I didn't… Um"
He stutters all of the sudden pulling his hand away from her.
"sorry"
He gave her a bow, shuffling his feet on the ground.
Beatriz laughs brightly, genuinely amused. "What are you apologising for? Chill out, it's ok," she assures him.
"um I mean…. I touched you without consent…..that's not… Really.. "
His eyes scurry around the vast room then back at his hands, which are in his lap.
" your hair was messy…. "
He turned his whole body to kind of face her.
"so um… Are you excited for the trip?"
He asked desperately trying to change the subject, he felt like one of those stupid perverts like Mpaverick.
Beatriz raises an eyebrow, but doesn't mention his immediate change of subject. "Er, yeah. It should be fun. Gotta love hanging out with teenagers," she says her last statement sarcastically, then shakes her head, smiling. "Besides that, though, yeah. From what I've heard, it'll be fun. No cameras there. Or parents," she adds.
"cameras?"
Ryuu asks curiously raising an eyebrow. He rests his chin on his hand, and crossed his legs.
"You camera shy? I don't like cameras that much either so I get it if you don't"
He looked into her eyes, waiting for an answer.
she doesn't seem like a camera shy girl, but don't judge a book by its cover I guess
He thinks to himself while anticipating for her to speak. She seemed very interesting and cool, he really wanted to get to know her. For the past months he has been to involved focusing on school to have any social life.
Beatriz looked away for a moment, thinking. "Um, not exactly? I just - I'm not a fan of cameras. I've been photographed too many times for me to feel comfortable with them," she explained.
oh no! Does she have a bad past?
He things as his eyebrows raises.
"um… Why have you been photographer alot? If you don't mind me asking?"
He asks her cautiously, he didn't want to pry if she didn't feel comfortable.
CC holds out her hand to the moonshine, a flower materializes in her palm. Luminesant in the darkness, it gleamed, shining on her eyes, making them look almost silver. And within five seconds, the flower vanished, glitter like particals flowing up in the air, then dissipating in the cold air.
"lets do something!"
She stood up off of the swing, her hair bouncing around as she moves. Her skirt blowing in the wind, acting like she didn't just make something appear out of thin air (its the norm for her)
Beatriz looks off to the side. "I - um, I do modelling. I've done it since I was… 10? I think? Not by choice, but, you know, some kids' parents make them learn piano, mine made me model," she laughed a bit awkwardly at her weak attempt at a joke. "So… yeah, a lot of pictures, and a lot of cameras."
Maverick still is astonished every time she uses her powers, and he had to shake his head to rid himself of the shock. The boy leaps off the swing, landing on his hands and knees. "Okay," he agrees, laughing.
Ryuu looks at her, shocked.
"wait you're a model? I mean I'm not surprised you're stunning but I mean.. I'm so sorry"
He looks around flustered from what he just said.
"I mean I'm sorry… Um… I won't pry. "
He shuffles his feet around.
"um so do you like the beach?"
He asked, always trying to change the subject, he always makes every subject weirder and weirder.
CC turns to him startled a little. He hand now in her lap, looking up at him.
"what?"
She says curiously…
did I do something wrong? Oh no, did my flower freak him out?
"Hm?" Maverick asks, looking like a lost puppy.
CC looks at him even more confused, she puts her face in her cupped hands.
"what are you doing? I'm so confused."
Beatriz smiles softly. "Um, yeah, I guess. I really prefer forests. I guess they have that kind of, I don't know, mysterious? Kind of feel? When I was in Malaysia, oh my Gods, the forest we visited was probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen," she gushed quickly, then looked to the ground, nervously tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. "But, um, yeah, sorry. I really like forests. As you can tell."
