━━ Stevie was learning a lot about the new kid. One could even say she was learning too much about him.
Namely, what a fucking nerd he was. It was ❛ DC comics ❜ this and ❛ anime ❜ that. He even threw in shit about Dungeons and Dragons ( whatever the hell that was supposed to be ) and her being a real life Selina Kyle. ( Again, what? )
Stevie was too bemused to say anything, so she was halfway listening to whatever Miguel was chattering on about.
All Miguel learned was that he was undoubtedly, one hundred percent in love with Stevie.
Now, he had never been much of a ladies' man. His aforementioned nerdiness and inability to stop himself from rambling did little to capture the attention of girls. ( If he was being honest, he lacked it from everyone outside of his friend group, but he was a hormonal, teenage boy. )
And now Stevie, who was not only the prettiest girl he had ever met, but took down four of his inevitable bullies without breaking a sweat and let him talk her ear off on the way back to the apartments? With her only warning being to not drop her bottles?
How could he think it was anything but?
In Miguel's opinion, the only issue was that Stevie never really responded to any of his attempts to get to know her. But perhaps she had a quiet nature or today had been a long day, so he would just fill the silence for her. ( She had been strangely grateful that he kept a lull from forming. She would rather die before admitting it, but she preferred the nonsense he spewed to the nightmarish scenes her own mind concocted. )
The pair walked through the entrance of the apartment complex, and Stevie went for her door. The bag was hanging lazily from her fingers while she pulled the key out, jiggling it into the lock until she could open the door.
She pushed her way into the apartment, and dropped the bag on the counter.
Stevie turned around to see Miguel still standing in the open doorway, distracted by the bareness of her apartment. She rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers at him, grabbing his attention enough to pull him into the place before latching three of her four locks.
