[9] THE ONE WITH THE KISSES
"Not everyone particularly enjoys fighting, you know," Jay spits at Felicity. Momentarily, he turns his head away from the road to give her a glare.
"Well, you keep winding people up, that seems to be going great for you!" Felicity roars, frustratedly, almost screaming out the words.
Felicity Steele and Jay Hamptons are both red. From their necks to their cheeks, a dark layer of red/crimson coats their skins.
It all starts when Felicity decides to (once again) lash out on Jay.
Why would you not tell me you were leaving? Especially, since you're my prom date, Jay!
*snickers* You never asked me to be your stupid prom date.
[grits teeth, pretty loudly] My stupid prom date? I hope you know that makes you stupid!
In case you don't have any brain, I didn't open up a stall with a banner that reads: GET YOUR PROM DATE HERE. FOR FREE. Get that into your head.
You're a piece of shit.
So are you.
Go to your freaking Helena. I'm sure she didn't need to be the one asking you to prom. [crosses hands over chest] [rather harshly]
And that when they decided to act hostile.
(And still are, but that's not the point.)
Eloise Hardwood and Connor Van Heusen sat still in the back seat, between the two front seats.
They kept silence, mouths forming a hard line.
"What exactly are you two fighting about?" Connor decides to ask.
Felicity and Jay turn around, "Shut up!"
Connor returns to the silent world, once again.

"Get me some coffee, Stickers," Jay tiredly says. He lays his head onto the steering wheel. He looks knackered and used.
"Why don't you ask Helena? Want me to call her for you? I'm sure you know how to use a cell phone," Felicity says, slamming the door behind her.
They are stopped at a petrol pump (gas stop.)
"What's with you two?" Eloise cries out, accompanying Felicity in the store.
Felicity stays deadly silent, walking along the rack of sanitary pads.
"Why do you need pads?" Eloise frowns, a little surprised.
Felicity grabs the right size. "Because Jay's getting his mood swings."
"Felicity," Eloise stops Felicity from walking away, "You know this is not his fault."
"I know!" Felicity cries out.
A few people turn to look at her, one of them being Sofia. She rushes over, joing her two best friends. "What happened?"
Felicity continues, "This is a mess. I was going to ask him to be my prom date. I really was. But then Carlos said we were having prom back at school and Jay said he was leaving and - and I - I don't know! I yell at him 'cause I want him to be there, but the doesn't understand that, now does he? Helena Kuijper? Oh my god, she was his prom date. Of course she was beautiful, I mean have you taken a look at Jay Hamptons. He can borderline cross the hotness of Francisco Lachowski. And that is saying a lot! He freaking damn gorgeous."
