He tilted his head, jokingly humoring the thought. "Hmm, I wonder what kind of ingredients that would be. I don't really care for spices, but I didn't taste any…" he pouted his lips slightly as he pretended to mull over it–sort of actually trying to figure out what would make him more of an ass.
"Or maybe it's just from dealing with me," She continued jokingly, pushing herself onto her toes and placing a kiss on his cheek before nodding to the alleyway they had to go through to get back to campus.
He grinned over at her. "There's a contributing factor to consider as well. You are quite the hassle, after all."
She laughed and shrugged, "I'm not going to deny it." Slipping into the alleyway to get back to campus, she let go of his hand and grinned playfully, "There, now you can't say I dragged you back to campus."
He laughed slightly and rolled his eyes. "You are so…" He couldn't even find the word to describe how different and wonderous she was. Instead, he shook his head with a slight grin. "I'm gonna give you a five-second head start," was all he said.
Her grin grew slightly and she couldn't help but giggle, "A five second head start on what?" She glanced towards the campus then back at him, "Are we racing somewhere?"
"Maaaaayyyyyybe." He lifted his wrist as if he had a watch. "You'd better start running, or you won't even stand a chance," he said, flicking his brows up and looking at her. His emerald eyes gleamed.
She laughed and started running down the alley towards campus, her eyes sparkling when she glanced back at him, "Where's the finish line?"
He grinned and waited for the given time. "Those trees over there," he said, pointing at a small bunch of trees on the school property. Once the five seconds were up, he wasted no time and took off after her.
Once he told her where she had to run too, she sped up, grinning and hoping she had gotten enough of a lead.
He slowly but surely gained on her, a bright grin on his face as he ran after her. This was much better than a boring walk to campus. It was amazing how much a nice race brightened his day.
She glanced back to see how close he was and laughed when she saw that he was gaining quite quickly on her, trying to sprint faster though she knew he was probably going to bat her by a landslide.
He eventually reached her right before the trees. Instead of running past her, he grabbed her by the waist from behind and slowed them both to a stop. "I don't think so," he said with a laugh.
She laughed when he caught her. "Does that mean I won?" She joked, her breathing quick from the sudden run.
He smiled and buried his face in the crook of her neck, getting a whiff of her shampoo. He hummed and held her close. "Hmm, I dunno. We haven't passed the trees just yet," he murmured.
Jynna smiled, "We'll call it a tie then." She leaned her head back and rested it against him, closing her eyes as well. "You'll have to let go of me soon, we only have a few minutes before I have to get to class."
He sighed dejectedly, turning his head to press a light kiss to her jaw. "Fine, fine," he murmured. "I'll see you later, then." He loosened his hold on her to let her leave whenever she wanted.
She felt his hold loosen but she didn’t leave his arms right away, staying against him before reluctantly stepping away and waving to him, “Where do you want to meet once classes are over?” She asked, already walking backwards towards her next class.
"I'll meet you in the same spot we met at lunch," he said with a smile, watching her go with crossed arms. There was always the option of just skipping out if school for the rest of the day, but he supposed he should stay. He already skipped yesterday.
Jynna nodded and smiled before turning and picking up her pace, getting to class with only a few minutes to spare. She slipped into her seat and got out her supplies absentmindedly, already wanting for classes to be done.
(Time skip to after school?)
(Sure)
(You wanna start? I'm basically falling asleep at this point)
(XD sure)
As soon as the bell signifying the end of her last class rang, she started packing up. She slipped out the door with the rest of the students who were filing out and smiled when she got outside, immediately heading to where she had to meet Rhydar.
Rhydar was leaning against a tree, inspecting his rings for anything that might need fixing later. He didn't spot anything, but he needed something to do while he waited for Jynna. It would seem that she might be the one to sneak up on him, instead of the opposite.
