"So it's at acedaBSL, the last three letters are capped."
I type in her at in the Instagram search bio and the first pic is her.
"What does BSL mean?" I ask, trying to keep the conversation going.
"Oh um..." Ace clears her throat.
"Okay, mind you–I made this account when I was in highschool."
Ace gets all flustered and looks the opposite direction.
"Oh my god let me guess. Is it Booty So Large?"
We both break into laughter.
"Nope. Try again?"
I think again for a second.
Beautiful Single Lady? Nah, that's silly. Black Sexy Lover? Bad Single Loyal?
"How 'bout bad single loyal?"
Ace lets out a small chuckle as she shakes her head.
"Okay I give up, tell me."
Ace mumbles something very softly under her breath. I make out the word 'Big', but I can not understand anything else she says after that.
"Big what?"
"Big strong lesbian..." Ace trails off.
"Big strong lesbian!?"
"God! Just let the whole fucking town know why don't ya!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I just love that so much."
I chuckle and Ace cracks a smile. We have a moment of lingering eye contact.
Oh my god..is this it? Should I go in for the kiss?
A sudden shove abrupts my thoughts and I see an old lady walk past me.
I rub my shoulder and feel something cold and hard.
"What the hell is this!?" I say
I grab it and it tears a bit of my coat as I pull. The metal place turns from green to red and starts beeping fast.
Without a moment to waste I toss it upwards using my bracelet to give it some extra distance in the sky.
The beeping intensifies until– BOOM. A plume of fiery black smoke erupts from the device.
Nearby people begin to mutter and I see a couple of people recording the whole thing happen.
Shit, someone is going to post this online somewhere!
"What the fuck? Where did that come from?!" Ace shouts.
I look around and I see the only one looking backward in the crowd is that old lady from before.
"Ace you gotta get home. I need to do something."
