"what's brewing?"
i looked up, smiling as i saw Xavier walk in. it's not like i immediately recognized his voice... i'm kidding.
"usually i would have said 'my mood' but for now it's a secret recipe.", i answered, pouring the blood-like substance into the three cups of coffee i had prepared.
"is that for me or Principal Weems?", he asked jokingly, leaning on the kitchen's stainless stell counter. god, i sometimes wished he'd stop doing that to me. it made my stomach go whirling as usual.
"Principal Weems might think i'm poisoning her so definitely not her.", i chuckled lightly and poured a small amount of the red liquid into the rest of the cups. "i think you remember this bleeding teeth fungus from our first Botanical class this year."
"how could i forget? you were a total boss bitch answering miss Thornhill's questions about that thing.", he said, a wide smile which always made me feel so safe around him.
"a boss bitch, huh?", i smirked at him and he nodded with a sweet smile. god damn, this boy is really testing me.
Xavier shifted in his spot and looked straight in my eyes. "i never realized how pretty your eyes are."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
yes, that was me screaming and dying internally from all the butterflies attacking my stomach for the billionth time in two weeks time.
how the hell do i know this boy for only a month and already like him so much?
"are you okay?", he asked.
i nodded, snapping myself back to a somewhat normal state and not feeling like i was gonna pass out. "yeah. um, thanks. some people make fun of them so i wasn't really fond of my eyes."
"well, i think your blue eyes really compliment your hair."

don't worry, guys. i'm okay, just having a typical teenage girl's reaction to their crush complimenting them.
"your smile is really comforting to me.", i told him which made him smile, his pearly whites showing.
it was silent between the two of us, our faces close to each other as we were both leaning on the table. inches and inches closer until...
"geez! can you guys not do this right now?", Kallian's voice echoed through the empty kitchen. Xavier and i separated faster than a blink of an eye. "ooh! is this the bleeding teeth fungus coffee you were talking about?"
"yeah, i made a cup for each of us.", i said. "it's a little experiment i've been trying."
"last time i got victimized by your little experiments, i ended up losing my eyebrows.", Killian said, taking one cup into his hands and sniffing the drink.
"he lost his eyebrows?", Xavier asked, turning to me for answers. i laughed as i told him, "oh, it was years ago. it was his seventh birthday, and as his older cousin, it was my job to make sure birthday boy enjoyed his presents."
"she gave me a jack-in-the-box with a small magic bomb inside instead of a joker.", Kallian continued. "and... KABOOM! right at my face."
"cool! speaking of jokers, you should totally join the Poe Cup competition. if you do, we'll both be up against Luna. she's with the Black Cats."
"competition? i'm in.", Killian was excited and i could see it in his eyes. "you Black Cats are gonna go down with me on the Jokers' team."
"oh, we'll see about that, loser.", i stuck my tongue out at Killian who did the same.
