will this day never end…(post 12)
“No, saying i like you better implies that i like either of you to begin with.”
“HAHAHA! See thats why Fai is cool. He just doesn’t know it yet. Like maybe thats how the cool people were at his old school or something.”
“Uhhh, thats not how my school was.” Zoie glanced back and saw her friends getting ready to head back to school. “Anyway, don’t be late for your next class, you used up all your being late by missing the first two periods of the day. Oh, and try to keep an eye on Asher for me, Fai. I’ve already gotta go find Ashley and make sure she hasn’t added to her social meltdown.”
Fai looked up as Zoie gently drummed her nails against the back of his book with a smirk on her face. Without a doubt Zoie was someone who managed to draw even more attention than Asher… and somehow they were both friends. He watched her make a quick gesture to draw her groups attention before the entire group left, leaving Sonic significantly quieter.
“Well i need snacks…”
Another knock, clearly Asher this time, against his book signaled it was time to head out. While Fai was loathe to leave with Asher, if he didn’t he would be late for his next class.
“Slurpee. Dam, i hope the next teacher is cool about having slurpee’s in class. And cupcakes. And maybe…”
“Why didn’t you just eat more at lunch?”
“Eh? Hay, you put your book away. I was wondering if you could see through your book or something. Hum, you know, your hair’s pretty long. I bet we could do something cool with it.”
“Don’t touch my hair”
“Nah, like this…” Asher pushed Fai’s hair around a little, holding it in place with his hands.
“Don’t touch me…”
“Its cool man, Zoie’s into stuff like this.”
Fai looked up as they walked into 7-11, “what are you trying to say?”
“Maybe wear something different tomorrow. And stop tucking in your shirt. and contacts, you got contacts, right? Maybe some skate shoes…”
Rolling his eyes Fai dragged Asher out of 7-11 before he could buy to many things, limiting him to a handful of hostest cupcakes, and the biggest slurpee cup he could find. “If it will shut you up then I’ll think about it. But if you make me late, I’m going to kill you.”
“And an MP3 player, you got one of those right? Go with the DJ look, some headphones… What kinda music are you into. Dude, you gotta check out this one band. Gimmie your email, i’ll send you the MP3’s tonight…”
————-
Fai’s left eye twitched slightly. Try as he might, Asher’s voice continued to break through his mental barrier. Perhaps the frequency of his voice was just right to allow it to slip through and not be ignored.
perhaps an mp3 player is a good idea… that way i can just make the music louder to tune you out
Flipping open his schedule, a quick comparison with Asher (at asher’s request of course) showed that the remainder of his day would be a mix of peaceful quiet, and… well… asher
