The Mystic Hearts Series

Chapter 94- Helios

TW: slightly dirty humor

I spend the rest of the day going to my classes, of course, being surprised that I see some of Robin's friends in my other classes. It's nice to have new friends, & not feel so lonely all the time. I don't have them for all my classes, of course, but enough that I can probably make it through the day feeling alright.

I also can't help looking for Robin in my classes... Noticing him in my English class... Always looking his way before my eyes drift away, worried he'll catch me staring... I didn't have this problem before, but... I think it's now that I know he's in some of my other classes... & he called me cute today... You don't just... hear that & then are able to brush it off... Did he... mean it platonically or? Was he just being nice? He did send me that slightly flirty text the other day... & he complimented me a few times... or was that him just being nice?

I've never had a real relationship, only 1 sided crushes, so I don't even know what I'd do, to be honest... I do think he's cute though... With his green eyes, cute smile & caring nature... Not to mention how much appreciation I have for him for being my friend... But does that mean I like him, or I'm just lonely?

"Hey, Helios." He smiles as he comes to sit next to me with his lunch tray.

I smile shyly, thought process momentarily interrupted. "Hey... I totally forgot we had lunch together. At least we can sit together now! I would've sat next to you in English, but ya know-"

He nods & grins. "-Assigned seats, yeah... It's nice seeing you more often now... that we're friends... What'd you think of my friends this morning, by the way?"

I beam, eyes lighting up. "They were great! They seem pretty cool... Ime, Shreya &... Anwen... right?"

He grins, nodding in approval. "Yeah..."

I chuckle nervously. "Good, because I'm terrible at names..."

He smiles crookedly, 1 eyebrow raised. "You haven't forgotten my name..."

I feel my face heat & I turn to my lunch momentarily. "T-that's because you were my 1st friend... & I have your number with your name in my phone..."

He nods, smirking slightly. "Ok, yeah, makes sense... Though you haven't seemed to check your phone to remember..."

I nod slowly, grinning slightly. "Yeah... Plus, you're an older friend..."

He chuckles. "'Older'? We're the same age, dumbass!"

I smirk, biting my lip to contain the laugh. "You know what I mean!" I look over my shoulder slightly, while still sitting down, continuing with the gag. "& don't be talkin' about my ass! That's disrespectful!"

He chuckles, hand covering his mouth to stop the laugh. "Hahaha..." He raises 1 eyebrow jokingly. "Just because I talk about your ass, doesn't mean it's disrespectful..."

I grin, taking the joke 1 step further. "Yeah, you did, you said I have a 'dumb ass'!"
He's giggling at this point, face reddening slightly & I join in. "No, you idiot, you're a 'dumbass'... You don't have a 'dumb ass'! Fine, fine, hahaha... You have a smart ass, you happy now?"

I look at him sideways. "Are you calling me a smartass? Not to mention the fact that you called me an idiot..."

He pretends to ram his head into the table & I chuckle. "Ugh- Whatever! Get over yourself..." He lifts his head up suddenly, dead serious (just for the joke, right?). "You have a nice ass, ok? Is that an acceptable compliment?"

My face reddens & I blink at him. "Uh, yeah, haha... That works..." I wink jokingly at him, just to cover up my lack of composure. To think, I just had a whole conversation with my crush about my ass... How embarrassing...

Oof, that's both hilarious & awkward XD :'D

Happy Pride, btw, again, guys. Hope you're enjoying it :3 <3
