Legend of the Immortal

Forever & Beyond

After school.

"Dude, that hot chick. Who's she?"

"No idea. She's just standing around."

The girl in question, was of course, Belle.

Dressed lightly in a black shoulder-off top and denim shorts, it was casual but showed plenty of skin.

Then, Gracie walked out with the group of returnees, the topic of the returnees and the mystery girl at the canteen were the hottest gossip around as several reporters awaited the group.

"Clear them out." Belle whispered to the guards who quickly complied, moving everyone out the way.

"So? H-How was y-your day?" Belle stuttered, her face red yet again.

"It was fun. I got to make a few friends." Gracie grinned,"Hey...Uh...Could we not go anywhere tonight?"

"S-sure. You have s-something in muh...Mind?"

"Mhm...Just some time alone. Together." Gracie's left hand fiddled around with the small box in her pocket.

Belle became even more worked up, her legs almost turning to jelly as she struggled to get a word out while her brain tried to think of all the possible outcomes.

"Aphie. I'm freaking out. Help me." Belle hissed in her mind.

"Reeeeelax a lil would you? You sound like a tense virgin." Aphrodite replied.

"Maybe you haven't heard but she wants to stay in one place for an entire day. What do I do? Help!"

"Girl, you are worrying about this way too much. Plus, you wanted this right? Oh look at you, blushing and all. My dear, just let Gracie take the lead, m'kay? You don't always have to be the leader."

Belle breathed deeply as she did her best to calm her quickly beating heart, slapping her face lightly to force herself to stop blushing.,

"See you guys later then." Gracie greeted.

"See ya."

"Have fun!" May winked, making Gracie blush.

"Remember to pass them the chocolates, Ryan!" Gracie yelled.

"Oh yeah...Gracie made Belle buy...Three thousand dollars worth of chocolates they picked up at a store a few hours from where they're currently staying."

"What Gracie are you insane?" May shouted.

"Sorry! Gotta go!" Gracie hollered as she jumped into the limo followed by Belle who was way too quiet.

Then, they took off.

"They bought us chocolates? Thanks Gracie! Sweet!" Jason said, excited,"C'mon take 'me out! Lemme see them!"

"They're high class chocolates Jason. Thirty dollars a piece." Ryan mentioned as he passed out the boxes while they walked down the road.

Limousine.

"So, how was your day today?" Gracie asked nervously.

"I-it was fine...W-why?" Belle replied unsteadily, not knowing how to reply.

"Are you okay?" Gracie asked, worried about Belle.

"Y-yeah. No...I mean...Yes...I mean...I don't know. I just don't know what I feel Gracie, I don't want to ruin this..." Belle waved her hands around helplessly,"Us...I don't know what to do...I just..."
