Have a fun reading you all.]
insta killow direct messages:
Ash: VINVIN.
Vinnie: Yes, your highness?
Ash: Girl, remember that brunch date we talked about the other day? Can we do it tomorrow since you
know, we got a holiday?
Vinnie: Let's do it babes!
Ashikha breathed a sigh of relief, as she had no idea how willing Vinnie would be for the brunch. She
loved that she instantly had a genuine friend at her new school, who did not care or know about her
prestigious background. While ashikha loved her distinguished family, she mostly hated the kind of
attention that they brought to her. She has had too many people trying to get close to her for their own
personal reasons. She was sure Adi had similar experiences to her regarding this particular affair. Zoning
back into the present, she saw that there was an insta kilo message from Vinnie.
Vinnie: Let's meet at 10am, I guess. Try not to get into too much trouble before that, got it?
Ash: Ironic coming from you, tbh.
Vinnie: What about a shopping date afterwards? Gotta get supplies for my voodoo spell. The blue moon
is just around the corner.
Ash: gods, I forgot. Ima be there too, I gotta get some things too. Ima tag along with your ritual too, if
you'll have me.
Vinnie: why not ;)
Vinnie closed her insta killow account with a smile on her face. She really enjoyed Ashikha's vibe.
Ashikha exuded such casual flamboyance that left the bystanders, including Vinnie in awe. Her elegant
yet serious attitude was really appealing to Vinnie. She wondered if this was the blossoming crush. As
Vinnie was daydreaming about her incoming date with the princess, a loud crash doused her from her
reverie. Annoyed about her ruined daydream, Vinnie made her way downstairs, towards the man-cave
where Sora keeps all his gimmicky experiments.
'I should've known,' Vinnie mutters as she opens the door.
'Get out,' Sora shouts as he runs out of the room covered in ash. Smell of fresh putrid air enveloped the
room, and Vinnie gasped at the sudden veil of smoke that enveloped her senses. She starts coughing
violently, and Sora ushers her out to the living room. Gasping for air, Vinnie turns to Sora, with a knowing
look in her eyes.
'Fucking hell, Sora. Why would you do that again? Ron said you can't be doing any more of those. You
can't expose yourself again'
I know, Vinnie. I just had to try. Keep trying. You know why, don't you?' Sora looked at Vinnie with glassy
eyes.
It would've been funny-sora covered in ash, streaks of black and gray all over his face. But it
wasn't. Distantly, Vinnie saw the blood trickling down Sora's temple.
Vinnie could feel herself tear up. She always did, the back of her eyes started itching when she was close
to sobbing. She turns around from sora, intending not to show herself crying in front of him. Even though
she's done it millions of times before, she doesn't think she could bear to cry while rebuking sora.
'Please, Vinnie whispers, 'I can't lose you too.' her voice cracks, betraying her emotions anyways. 'You're
the only thing in my life that I truly cherish. And that wasn't a choice, to cherish you, and only you.' She
walks away from Sora, back to her room, with tears streaming down her face.
Ash walked towards the busy intersection, her high heeled boots clacking as she tried to hurry over to
the café. She had waved off Agnes, her personal driver, when she offered to drop her off. A lapse of
judgment from her part. Waiting for the traffic lights to turn red so she could cross the road, she
observed her surroundings, only to find a familiar face duck out of her line of vision. Enraged, ash
hurried over to the now cloaked figure and ripped off his mask.
'What the fuck, adi? I thought we agreed on not spying on each other way too long ago. I stay out of
your business, you. Stay. Out. Of. Mine. That was our deal.' Ash emphasized her words with a hushed
whisper, looking around to see if there were others following her, along with her idiotic brother.
'Relax, Archie. No one besides me is here. I was here for something,' he sounded distant for a second,
before zoning back in.
'well now that I AM here, doesn't it feel fit if I join you for whatever you have
going on?'
It didn't escape her notice that adi was deflecting the topic away from his day to day shenanigans, which
as she expected were highly classified. She couldn't ask about them either, considering her earlier
outburst.
She paced her answer mildly. 'Very well, I guess you can. I didn't tell my friend I will be bringing
someone else tho.'
She stopped. 'And don't call me Archie, you four eyed freak.'
'That's ironic. You're as blind as a bat too, bitch.'
'Yet you're the four eyes. Reflect on that, I guess.'
They bantered their entire way to the café, where they saw Vinnie standing inside talking to the waitress.
They made their way in, and figured that Vinnie wasn't talking, but fighting with the waitress.
'-just actually say chai tea latte? Like girl, seriously? I can assure you that Pavitr is disappointed in you,'
Vinnie glances at the barista's name tag. '-Brenda.' She finished her little monologue and looked
around, just to find the entire café including ash gaping at her. She blushed when she saw ash, and
actually felt flustered for the first time in her life.
'ASH! OMG YOU'RE HERE! It's so great to meet you outside school. You look so gorgeous.' Vinnie
exclaimed, trying to hide her embarrassment.
Ash did a little twirl to show her custom Louis vuitton
skirt, and started to compliment vinnie's sundress. But before she could, Vinnie interrupted her,
'What is this old man doing here?' at the same time, Adi said, 'What is she doing here?
Ash shouldn't be shocked; after all they went to the same school. She sighed. 'How'd y'all actually
meet?'
She directed the question at Adi, but Vinnie is the one who recounted the entire tale. Vinnie and Adi
ordered tea whereas Ash went for an iced coffee.
'Ash hates tea for some weird reason,' Adi explained upon Vinnie's inquiry.
They talked about school for a bit, adi said he was busy with council work and started to leave after
checking his phone. Ash threw an understanding eye roll in his direction when left.
'Enjoy your date' adi hollered in their general direction before he left. Both Vinnie and Ash blushed
profusely at the insinuation before continuing their chatter.
They left the cafe at noon, since they talked for hours about their own hobbies and interests. Ash loved
talking to Vinnie, and hoped Vinnie felt the same. On their way over to the nearest shop for the supplies
shopping, Vinnie latched onto one of Ash's arms, all the while continuing the chatter.
'Best. Date. Ever.' Thought Ash.
