Play-date with the possibility of Death

When the breeze hit the base of the pavements, moved all the way to my knees and made me all tingly, that's when I realized there was a shift in the environment of today, that there was something different. - You know? The Good kind of different, the one that would actually allow you to intake the change and accept it?

I never really realized how warm the weather got besides the chilly breeze.

Or how brown hair can really resemble that of dirt, but also be able to look so lusciously adorable.

Due to this moment of recognition, I never really noticed how Emilia and Seb were noticing me take notice. - That's a mouthful, ain't it? Either way, I shrug it off.

This is so fucking weird.

"So," she interrupts, dragging out the word, "Will you two be okay then?"

"Well, seeing how he's maybe, probably stalking me." I say, looking towards Jayce. "I'm not really sure."

"What the hell made you think I was stalking you?" He replies, laughing as if that's not really possible. Which, by the way, totally is. Considering how he was a) in detention with me and b) let's not forget the awkward eye contact during lunch.

"Oh come on, dudes. You practically eye-raped me at lunch."

"Eye-rape you!" He says, throwing his hands up in mock exasperation, "I was looking at you because you had this weird green thing on your face, just by the way." He ends, taking a string of my hair and swipes it on my face.

"Cut it off!" I say, slightly laughing and elbowed him in the stomach. "Sebastiiiiiannn, this is the time for the whole big brother-role shit thing to apply!"

He didn't do anything, except turn to Em and smile.

What's their deal?

I squint my eyes accusingly and point them at Em, "Emilia?"

"Yes, dearest Alexia?" She says a hint of 'tease' personality present. "Are you leaving me with a stranger?"

"Oh, stop being stupid will you? Jayce is a good guy. Right, Seb?" She says looking at him expectantly. He doesn't even bother replying verbally, all he turns to is the wiggling of his eyebrows.

Peachy.

"Oh, whatever." I say, ending with a friendly eye roll, nudging Jayce.

"Well, guys." He says waving goodbye. "Looks like I'm stuck with a wild one, huh?"

"Oh, shut up. Says the one who was staring at me."

As we walk away Em shoots me a grin and considering the amount of friendship that summed up our entire closeness? That look basically identified the fact that she thinks I've got the 'hots' for Jayce. A guy I barely know of all people!

"You're delusional." I say. Looking back, I stick out my tongue.

"Have fun!" Hollers Seb, a disgusting, tease-d up grin presently hanging from the corners of his mouth.

"Fuck you." I mouth, only having them both wave at me like stupid parents. You know? The kind who set their kids up with other kids for play-dates. Also known as the superbly annoying kind.

"Jayce. Just so you know, I have pepper spray."

"Alexia, just so you know. You don't have to use it."
