INSIDE THE BOWLING ALLEY

"So," Rainbow Dash started as you two found a spot on the floor, "when's your birthday?"

"March 6."

Her eyes widened, shock taking over her entire body as she even stopped tying her shoes, "I missed it?!"

You nod. "It's okay, though. It's not like you could've known."

"I am surprised I'm older than you." You walked to the control console in front of the bowling ball return system. For convenience, you shortened Rainbow Dash's name to just 'Dash,' then typing your name second.

However, aside from convenience, it would be cute to start nicknames in your two's growing relationship, and 'Dash' was perfect as it didn't have an R for you to trip up on. Your Japanese accent is your sworn enemy for life. Despite only being half and sharing more facial and bodily features with your African American mother, your father's accent prevailed in you.

"What's that supposed to mean?" You shrugged.

"I just thought I was younger." You were younger than Ember, your male ex from freshman year, but found it would be inappropriate to mention this on a date with someone else.

it's so hard to type with these nails. i need to cut them down —Besides your accent, your thumbs also gave you trouble. You could deal with adjusting your hand to be angled a certain way at work, but you really had to fight the machine to let you press down the letters just now.

but they're so pretty —You turned around to look at Dash. Her eyebrows raised.

"You're player one," you explained, smiling as you gently jerked your neck back, "Birthday Girl."

She scoffed with a chuckle, getting up. "I don't need your compensation."

"I think you will find that you do. You may be fast and all, but I'm calculative."

"Calculate these nuts-" She laughed when you quickly hit her arm. As Dash walked away, you watched her pick a light blue ball from the rack before preparing her shot.

THE NEXT DAY
FIRST PERIOD

It was the next morning, a Friday school morning to be exact. Sitting in your usual seat in Algebra II, your phone was unlocked to your right, laying flat on the desk. You were a master multitasker and continued to do your classwork while Dash was abusing her new texting privileges.

Today 8:02 AM
ダッシュ 🌈💨

but did you have fun :))

Yeah
Loser

im not a loser

That's exactly what a loser would say

you won by one game.
102-107 is not far

It's far enough to lose

count your days

You chuckled as you read her message, biting your lip to forbid a real laugh when she sent a picture of her balled fists. Suddenly, someone sat beside you. The desk next you was typically empty, just the way you like it.
