It worked like magic, a cursed spell really.
Deric's question was that giant red button you're not supposed to press because it opens up a monster's cage.
And it happened, just like that, the conversations, memories and flashbacks of everything that he spent nights locking in some distant chest in his brain.
It came back to him. How they met in an ice cream shop. When his sister bumped into her. The ice cream flying off the cone onto her blouse. Him apologizing and her gorgeous laugh that followed. His sister asking her to come home with them so her mom can clean her up. The walk back home and getting to know Samantha.
His chest tightened.
Samantha being the new girl that no one befriended at school. Her being in his history class and their soon to come study sessions. The pointless yet adorable arguments on their empty lunch table. Their first date.
"Um.. Date?" Azir managed to ask.
She looked cute in that transformers hoodie.
"Well, yeah..." His voice dropped to a whispaer only the two of them can hear, "Unless you have a twin sister and are going with her like Marcus is planning to...?"
The beautiful masterpieces in the French room of the museum and how she stared with doe-like eyes.
"I don't really .. Can't I just go solo?"
Calling her 'girlfriend' for a solid year.
Veronica interferred, "Who's going solo?! No one can go alone!"
Her realising she doesn't really love him.
"Exactly. Even Veronica here has a wonderful guy to go with." Marcus stated.
I always knew I wasn't good enough for her.
"What? I do?!" Veronica looked up at Marcus in question.
Letting her go.
"Yes, you do. And you're looking at him right now." Marcus said with a Cheshire grin.
"No! You can't! I want want to get asked by a real guy!"
Deric spoke up, "Okay then.. Veronica, be my date for the Welcoming?"
She gave him a deadpannded look, "I meant someone who I did't spend my entire childhood pranking."
She paused, then looked at Azir with a glint in her eyes.
Uh-oh.
"Would like to be my date, Azir?"
