Falling (Lookism x Reader)

Part 32 : Scrapes

─────✧･ﾟ: *✧･

       The day is here the bootcamp trip is at an official start! Students buzzed with excitement, the energy only reaching more time went on. And for one particular student, a chance to talk to another just arrived.

       Daniel was nervous about the trip. All his former trips at school were spent getting beat up and being lonely. However, his excitement had soared through the nervousness, as he knew no one would beat him up like before. It was almost too good to be true.

       Y/n had been analyzing his actions from the side, seeing him nervously play with his fingers before getting on the bus. Only pulled out of her thoughts as Jay laid a hang on her shoulder. She snapped out of her thoughts and smiled that smile he adored before heading into the bus passing a sitting Daniel that had looked up at the pair from his seat next to the teacher in surprise.

       He followed them with his eyes through the bus and noticed them sitting together, making him squirm in his seat. He watches as they interacted, not saying a word to one another but being close. Suddenly he had been called to the back of the bus where he could see they saved a seat just for him.

Ah, act natural like you don't care!

       As he walked down the cramped aisle, he passed the pair and looked down at them, just barely noticing the interlocked hands resting between them as they continued on with their time. Without realizing he had stared for more than a second, making the more bold of the two to lift their head and meet his eyes with an analytical gaze. He raced to the back of the bus to join his friends, trying to forget how those eyes looked at him once again.

       The bus ride was filled with excitement as they played games and chatted among themselves Y/n occasionally joining in their conversation like normal. Sitting in the middle of it all was almost overwhelming for him, but he was happy to be included. Even though she wasn't directly talking to him.

       Finally, after the hectic ride, they made it to the camp, exiting just as excited as they left. They came up to some games and his face lit up. He watched as Zack and Vin Jin played some games when an idea appeared in his mind.

       Maybe she would want to play some games she's strong. Surely she'd want to show off like usual! He turned to look at her and ask only to see her cheering Vasco on for getting a higher score than Vin Jin.

...well, it wouldn't hurt to try

       Of course, he dominated over the competition and ding being heard loud and clear as he punched and ripped through the bag, a smile lighting up on his face at the success. He turned over to his target before only to see her walking away to stand next to Mira and Zoe.

       He tried again when they went into the theater watching different preformences, only to look around and see her gone from sight, the only trace of her coming from the questions of Mira and Zoe looking for her as well.

       He stepped out once everything was done, dejected at this failed attempt once more, only to catch sight of the girl leaning on a wall putting her phone away after hanging up on a call. He watched for a moment behind a pillar as she rubbed her temple and sighed.

       Suddenly she snapped her head in his direction with a blank stare, walking toward the pillar with a speed that got his heart thumping in panic, the thought of being caught only adding to the feeling. But just as soon as it started, it stopped.

       "Pointy?" She addressed the lackey, confused, and returned to a neutral stance. The Boy had flashed around the corner, seeming to be looking around dramatically before lighting up at seeing her figure.
