CC looks at the boy, she whips out a flower and held it out. A gush of wind rushes over them as she watched the wind ripple through his hair. His eyes looking down at the fish. He looked peaceful and calm. When he flirts he doesn't seem as peaceful, or at ease as he does right now. She likes this side of him…. is he growing on her?
She can't seem to find out, yet she needs to know more about this mystery man. She's going to find out who he is.
"Seo Hyeon Youn… every body just calls me CC but I guess its….. an alrght nickname."
She puts the flower in his hair beside his ear.
She lays down in the grass not caring about being dirty. She looks at him at the sun shines down on her, she smiles while looking into his eyes.
"your turn"
She was determined to get that flower.
Maverick's frozen, gawking at her in shock. "Pave, Maverick," he murmurs, disbelief crowding his mind. His hands reach up briefly to touch the flower before drifting down.
"cute…. I like it"
She says as she sits up. She smiles at him then stand up. He holds her hand, not for him to take it…
"now… my flower Mr. Maverick?"
Her warm hand in his feels right, and suddenly Maverick has an extreme urge to skip the rest of school. He wants so stay right here, with Seo Hyeon Youn. Furiously blushing, the boy still manages a smirk and mysteriously winks. "You'll have it before tomorrow."
She crosses her arms and put her hip to the side and sticks her bottom lip out. She bends down to him, extremely close to his face, their noses almost touching.
"why not right now? Do you not have it right now?"
Her soft hair brushes up against his cheek. She usually didn't want to be this close but she felt like being flirty right now.
Visibly affected, the boy inhales possessively before growling and turning away. "You'll see." A thought drops into his mind as his mouth curves upward. "How many times, I wonder, will you be late to classes because of yours truly?"
"all of them"
She leans closer to him, her hand on the ground so she doesn't fall. She puts her lips to his ear.
"why do you ask?"
She smirks at him wondering how he'll react. Shes determined to know the real him, she wont let someone come to her like that and let them get away with it.
He shudders - because of the cold, remember? - and whispers right back in her ear. "Flirt."
Out of nowhere, Maverick stands up, green eyes darting around and deeply breathing in the crisp air. Distance made things so much easier. "We should get headed back." He holds his hand out before quickly withdrawing it, a teasing distrust dancing in his eyes.
She sat there looking up. She had wondered if she's gone to far.
this is why i don't flirt….. it was fun but he's gonna run away like all of them….
She stands up. The first bell hasn't rang yet.
"You might have to leave, but i dont. Id rather stay here."
She dips here bare feet in the water, twirling a flowing. Looking visibly sad.
You've already messed up, good job, fucker. He screams to himself. Grabbing her wrist, he turns her away from the pond. "C'mon." Gently, Maverick tugs the girl out of the water. "I peeked at your schedule," he admits, bashfully looking away. "We have the same class next."
Her eyes widened and she let out a little shriek when he grabbed her wrist. She fell down right as she stood up. She rubbed her wrist looking down, her hair fell in her face. She looks up at him.
"im so sorry…. please go….."
she said in a weak voise.
(when she was younger she was abused by her drunkard step dad, he grabbed her wrist alot…. but nobody knows that except for Ryuu)
He couldn't stop his face from shattering at her words. "Are you okay?" The words came out in a broken whisper as Maverick stalled for time.
"im sorry…. yeah im fine."
She says snapping back to reality. This boy wasn't her step dad. Hes not going to hurt her.
"Im sorry um…. please don't…. grab my wrist….."
She stands up, fixes her hair and smiles at Maverick.
"lets go"
She looked at the pond, then slipped her shoes on, grabbed her backpack. She pulled the flower out of her hair and puts it in the boys hair. She grabbed his hand and remembered something.
should I ask him? is he sensitive to touch?
"Can I grab your hand?"
that was a weird thing to ask.
The words locked in his mind as he realized what she said. Note to self: Don't grab her wrist. He debates pressing her but came to the conclusion now was a very bad time.
The flowers in his hair were cute, he decides, and like the sap he was, Maverick planned on keeping them there the entire day. To hell what anyone else thought. The boy beams at CC, offering an open hand in reply.
She grabs his hand and smiled. She pulls him and runs to the school every now and then looking back at him. Her white hair seems like its almost jumping in the wind.
he didn't see anything, he didn't hear anything, nothing happened. Im this happy girl, that makes other people happy… not.. this.
She was holding in tears, but shes not going to let Maverick see that.
He squeezes her hand, a lighthearted laugh floating between them. Reminding himself to inquire about the whole wrist situation later, Maverick continues running. "We're so late," he pants, eyes sparkling.
They reach the cafeteria where only a few people remained. Including Ryuu. He looked at the two, then their hands.
His heart drops. He puts that thought away. Her eyes are red. He runs up to her not paying attention to Maverick.
"are you alright?" He said as he looks at her wrist. Its red.
He sharply looks at Maverick and grabs his arm.
"what the hell is wrong with you."
Ryuu didnt like to use "vulgar" words but he was infuriated.
"look he didnt know okay?"
CC said now letting go of Mavericks hand. She grabs her red wrist and just covers it up although she knows its useless.
"please let go of him he didnt do anything."
She pleaded.
Ryuu tightened his grip then suddenly let go. He was obviously angry. Someone he'd known for so long, that he loved, had been hurt. He wouldnt let that slide any time soon. Ryuu looks down at him a scowls.
"You EVER hurt her, I'll hurt you so bad you'd wish i would've just killed you."
He walks away. He had no idea where that came from. Hes an incredble sweet guy, that wouldnt even hurt a fly.
But the fact that someone had hurt Seo Hyeon, hes enraged to say the least.
His mind flashes back to a memory of Him and CC, standing in the dark. It was the day he found out about her step dad.
She told him to promise her that he'd protect her. She must've forgot…..
He switched back to reality and walked down the hallway and into the classroom.
"look im sorry…. hes protective….."
CC looked at Maverick……
"i dont think you should get involved with me….. its dangerous."
(fam you're finnee)
Maverick lets out a derisive snort, silently wishing for the boy to never return. Turning back to CC, he lulls, "I don't care about his threats. I won't judge you for him…"
Piercing green eyes flash with something akin to jealousy, before a child-like voice emerges Maverick. "Was he…" his facade cracks, struggling for words. "Ever involved with you?" No matter how confident Maverick built himself to be, he can't hide the threatened gleam in his eyes.
CC raised an eyebrow
"like…. involved how?"
She felt so bad. She wanted to be friends with Ryuu in the school from the moment she saw him. But alas, she knew… it couldn't happen. He's to emotional for her, she can't handle it. For she's to emotional herself, she needs someone to care for her… emotionally. He just wasn't the one…. which made her sad but she had to face the facts. He's sweet but,,,, not for her
(she's a strong independent woman she don't need no man to physically protect her, boi whatchyu thinkin)
"The way he protectively buzzes around you makes it appear that he's your ex or something," Maverick states bluntly. Shoes scuffle against the cafeteria floor, littered with wrappers and small stashes of food.
"well its something like that… I'd rather not go into detail…. it still…."
She hesitated, then said in a small voice
"it still hurts a little…"
She smiled at him like nothing had happened. Then her eyes widened…
"say…. do you want to skip? I mean ive never done it before but…. I kinda want to…"
Imperceptibly Maverick's eyes narrowed at her small voice, but again, he decides to investigate further at another time. Meanwhile, the boy stares at the girl, slightly dumbfound at her request. "And here I was, taking you for a good girl who didn't want to be late to classes," he marvels, a slow smile creeping up his profile. "I was gonna subtlety show off your flowers to the student body, too."
"oh Im sorry, but you know"
She leaned closer
"don't judge a book by its cover"
She winks at him, but then turns away and sighs dramatically.
"oh well, I don't want to keep you from getting education. You can go…."
She runs her fingers through her silky hair, the dim room making it seem grey.
She turns around "pouting" again. Her arms crossed, he lip out, and her eyes big. Her hip swayed to the side as she turned to face him another time.
"Oh I feel so bad"
She says sarcastically.
"Distracting you…."
She whips out yet ANOTHER flower and smirks mischievously at him. Its a white glowing flower, like the one he picked earlier after their first encounter. The room was dark yet her eyes shined through the darkness. Like an angel in disguise.
The smile toys on his mouth at CC's antics. One mood after another, blurring by so quickly he had a hard time catching up at times. "You are quite a distraction on your own," the boy acknowledges, eyes flicking between her enthralling irises and the flower she twirls. The bell rings, harsh and zapping their comforting silence. Maverick doesn't move an inch.
