Her side braid falling off of her shoulder, her hand tightened in his.
"im in the mood for fancy food….. what about you?"
She asked in a droopy voice, yet still cute and sweet. She slowly twirls a flower in her fingers looking at the same fish that swam in the pond at the beginning of school.
He snickered lightly, enjoying a delirious CC. He entwines his hand with her braid, softly letting it slide back onto her shoulder. "We should go to Chemistry," he nudges. "And then I'll take you out for dinner?" Despite the anxious feeling twisting in his gut, Maverick's voice was imbued with hope.
CC smiles and laughs to herself.
"yeah okay, what will we eat?"
She stands up trying to be energetic and looks at him.
"I'm starving"
Giving her a reserved smile and wink, the boy's eyes dance around thinking. "What about… Kipjaci? (random result from google) I think they serve food hibachi style," Maverick muses. The bell rings and his irises only brighten. They'd been late to classes the entire year and for some reason the teachers never minded.
CC grabs his hand and pulls him off of the bench suddenly close to her.
"yeah"
She says rather quietly gazing into his eyes
"your eyes are so pretty…"
She steps away and starts walking out of the little area and towards the school her hair once again bouncing and swaying with every happy little step she takes.
i forgot how much i love being with him….
He should be used to the way she manages to make his breath catch. Maverick runs after her flouncing form, a mock pout on his face. He should be used to the way she makes every action adorable. "Your eyes are beautiful." He should be used to the way sunshine made her somehow more angelic than she was… he should be used to the way she made butterflies flutter into his stomach, the way she made his heart pound.
After sitting in class for an hour Seo-Hyeon walked down the hallway lazily. She was ready to go out to eat with Maverick.
She leaned against the wall and shut her eyes, she wanted to just go eat…. footsteps were coming near her.
"there you are…. I'm so hungry lets go already"
She opened her eyes to see some random guy in front of her.
"ah I'm so sorry. Um am I in your way?"
She asks him politely and steps aside
"no miss…… I was actually wondering if i could have your number?"
He smiled at her, he was a little taller than Maverick, black hair, he was obviously Japanese.
"oh um imp sorry….. what?"
She returns his smile, and steps away a little more.
"well a pretty lady like yourself shouldn't be without my number"
He says with a smirk, his hand against the wall, his face close to hers.
"well um…. I don't think that's how you talk to a lady…. "
She tried to step away but he put his other hand against the wall on the other side of her.
After chemistry, Maverick had to stay behind. Shuffling up to the teacher's desk, he bent his head, asking, "Why did you tell me to wait?"
Adjusting his glasses, the teacher clasps his hands in front of him. "You are excelling in chemistry this year." A twinkle sparkles in his wise, blue eyes. "Countering your consistent tardiness, you are my best student. Last year your teachers had terrible reports. But in terms of improvement," he notes seriously, "you are shining. This year, over the summer, each teacher gets to choose their favorite student to attend a trip out of Japan. Of course, this is an opportunity you don't have to take. However, I happen to know Ms. Seo-Hyeon is being chosen by the art teacher." With a knowing smirk, the chemistry teacher pats Maverick Pave on the back. "Act wisely, Mr. Pave."
(Just gonna bwoop on in here)
Beatriz leaves her classroom as fast as humanly possible. Finally, she can just sit and chill and - what's going on with CC? She considers going over to help her, but shakes her head at herself, not wanting to be rude if CC had a new boyfriend. Then again, she'd never seen CC with this boy before. She decided to stand near them, just to make sure nothing went wrong.
"look mister."
She looks at him with her white eyes.
"that's not how you treat a lady. Now if you would move out of my way I would greatly appreciate it."
He steps closer to her bending down to meet her eye to eye
"so I'm guessing I cant have your number? well how about I take you out."
He smiles at her leaning closer to her.
"I'm warning you if you come any closer ill make you regret it…."
Holding her breath and closing her eyes facing away from the boy. In her hand was a flower. She was going to give it to Maverick once he got back but the teacher asked him to wait.
goodness I hope he didn't get in trouble for being late….. I guess the teachers finally caught on.
She thought about Mave even in this situation…yet she didn't really care about herself much…
The boy touched her cheek with his hand, his nose touching hers…. just like her and Mave did the first day they met.
"s-stop…."
She quickly ducked down making the boy look down then she bounced back up hitting him in the nose with her head. He stumbled back then kicked him in the chest (how she reached up there is a mystery) making him fall to the ground.
On the ground bloody nose and a bruised chest CC steps on his chest right where she kicked him and looked down at him.
"I said you would regret it didn't I?"
she stepped back letting him stand up. Once he was about halfway up she grabbed his collar and stared him dead in the eyes.
"I told you….. that's no way to treat a lady. Now I better never see you do that again….. got it?"
She loosed her grip a little yet she still had a good hold of him
"heh you think you ca-"
He got interrupted by a good and hard punch to the jaw knocking him to the ground once again. Every one looking at Seo-Hyeon.
"You're pathetic….. this is no way to be a gentleman"
She says as she kicks his side
Beatriz stares in shock, walking over to CC and whispering, "that was fucking awesome." She tries to say more, but all she manages is, "awesome."
CC looks over at her and smiles sweetly as if nothing happened
"You gotta do what you gotta do amiright?"
She shuffles her feet, her hair swaying to the side, her white eyes looked into hers.
wow shes so gorgeous……
she thinks to herself as she looks around for Maverick, but everyone was so crowded around her and the guy she couldn't see a thing.
In the doorway stands a flustered, proud boy with glowing green eyes. His feet rush forward to CC, but for good measure, he punches the guy who cornered her along the route. The student body swarms around the boy lying on the floor. I hope he gets trampled. Deciding not to mention the trip until her art teacher informs her, Maverick sends his girl a mind-blowing grin. "Bastard," he mutters.
Beatriz smiles lightly. "Definitely," she says, rather amused. I got to see a bastard get beat up by this badass, and I get to be antisocial for the rest of the day. Score.
CC turns around to see Maverick right there. Her face lit up once she saw him.
"oh hi! Whatd the teacher want you for? Did you finally get in trouble for being so late?"
She again smiles ever so sweetly at the boy as if nothing had happened, changing the subject just like she always does when she does something cool. She sweeps her hair out of her face looking down at the boy. She walks up to him and kneels down and smiles.
"now that youve learned your lesson….. you wont do that again will you?"
She grabs his collar.
"yeah right you b*t-"
He was interupted once again when CC stood up and just walked away. She got to Maverick and grabbed his hand humming to herself walking away every now and then looking at Maverick, but not ever looking back.
A cruel smirk appears on his mouth as Maverick shoots daggers at the asshole. His body leans into CC subconsciously. Recognition falls into his eyes as Maverick glances at the girl alongside her. "You're the one who Ryuu keeps flirting with, right?" The tension between the boys had significantly dropped over the school year, especially when Ryuu had shamelessly admitted his crush on her.
Beatriz spluttered. "I - I guess? That's not really - I wouldn't say - yes?" She said, not able to control her awkwardness. She pinched the bridge of her nose and takes a breath. "Um, yeah, I'm really bad at noticing when people are flirting unless they're literally asking me to kiss them, so… yeah, I wouldn't know."
"You're bad at recognizing flirting even when you reciprocate it?" He gives a wink in her general direction. "The boy's…" he pauses, calculating exactly how painfully Ryuu would kill Maverick should he reveal the boy's crush. "…he's… Ryuu's pretty invested and been flirting all year. I think you know more than you're letting on."
Ryuu walked out of one of the classrooms and just watched everything go down. He knew Seo could handle it herself. Nothing bad.
He then saw Maverick and Beatriz talking, getting a tad bit jealous he decided to ignore it. He glances over at CC once again who was right beside him. He does admit that he does have a little bit of feelings for her but theyre not overwhelming or anything like that. Today he was just happy…. the teachers told him that he was invited to go on the trip that was in two days. Hes been talking to Beatriz and theyre becoming good friends but other than that. He doesn't really have anyone. Maybe he could make some….. some that he knows is already going on the trip, that way he would have someone to hang out with. He knows Beatriz would be swarmed with everyone else. He sighs and slowly walks away out of the hallway and into the dorms.
Beatriz splutters. *Wha - I don't think that's really - that's not - I have literally never flirted before. I can't even talk like a normal human being, let alone express attraction through SPEECH," she explains, running her hands through her hair out of habit.
He angled his head, gaze dropping to the girl's. "Beatriz Star is a flustered, blushing, awkward teenage girl once she hears that a boy is attracted to her. I wonder," he sighs, tapping his chin, "if perhaps she feels attracted to the boy, as well? I can hear sirens going off," he claims absurdly, smirk firmly super-glued on his features.
Beatriz hides her face with her hands. "You're as bad as Lure. Do you people just like to see me suffer? Okay, yes, Ryuu's great, but we're just friends, for crying out loud. I'm always a flustered, blushing, awkward teenage girl, thanks to all you… you MEDDLERS. It has nothing to do with attraction," she defends.
"Meddlers, I'm honored," he laughs, a flirty grin on his face. He missed this - the flirting, teasing, confidence. It felt right to slip back into this role, and a guilty wave crashes over his body as he realizes the warm hand still in his. Immediately the smile drops from his face, replaced with a soft, intimate expression as he looks at CC.
Beatriz groans. "Why don't you go make out with your girlfriend or something and leave me alone? I already can't function as a normal human. CC, how do you even handle this idiot?"
CC tilts her head to the side pretending to be thinking.
"i have no idea…."
She tightens her hand in his and looks up to him…. she felt a little wave of jealousy rush over her but it quickly fades away as he looks into his green eyes.
"so um….. do you wanna go? im starving…."
She says with a different….softer tone now.
