Exception
"Why does he irritate me so much?"
• Inara •
The next two days were nothing but... romantic pretence
Every time we parted from each other, he would kiss me, touch me.
It made me... shut down with nerves
Because I liked itI liked it when he kissed me
And then he would ignore me. Be blunt with me.
Barely speak during lunch.
It was confusing
He drove me home and to school each dayAnd Tommy didn't dare speak to me whenever I was with him
He was like a real possessive boyfriend
And yet a stranger at the same time.So when Saturday came... I was a nervous wreck
Because I had to go to this party with Kane
And socialise
It was different when we had gotten ice cream, it was just us and I felt like he... opened up a little
But a party? With everyone else aroundI had no clue what I would get out of him.
"Are you trying to kill him?" Ivy laughed
"I'm not dressing up for him, I... I thought it looked nice" I said, looking in the mirror
"Yeah it's nice... it'll be nice in his back seat too" she commented
"Shut up" I said, but all she did was laugh more• Inara's Outfit •
"Ivy" I said after a while
"Yeah" she said absentmindedly
"What do you know about Kane? I... no one else seems to know much about him" I said"I don't know anything, he never gives me any quotes for the paper, he'll never agree to a photograph after the game and he barely speaks to anyone except Koen" she said
"Oh" I said, sitting down so she could sort my hair"Why?" She asked
"Just Tommy... calling him a... a druggy orphan" I said, thinking back
What does he mean?
Kane's a top player. He never misses a practice and he performs well in every game
He wasn't on drugs.My phone then buzzed, pulling me out of my own head
Kane
- Outside. Hurry upCharming
"He's here" I said, prompting her to move quicker as she put my hair up.
