Elastic Heart

Closet

The entire day has gone by and I haven’t see Lash yet, luckily my next and last class was Mad Science and he is probably going to be there. I got to class and after a while he wasn’t there so I gave up and sighed raising my hand. Mr. Medula walked over and I asked to go get something from my locker and he let me. I got out into the hall and started walking to my locker which was on the other side of the school and I walked there since I was trying to pass time. I turned a corner and was pulled into a janitor's closet and before I could scream a hand wrapped around my mouth turning me around. I looked into the eyes of my supposed captor and calmed down realising that it was just Lash and he moved his hand motioning for me to be quiet as I crossed my arms.

“Where have you been? I haven’t seen you all day.” I said raising an eyebrow.

“Look I had to know if you were ok and I couldn’t ask in class, I have a reputation to uphold, Fayette.” Lash said and I blushed a little at how close we were and the nickname making him smirk.

“I’m ok but i’m still ticked at you, Stripe boy.” I said.

“And yet you still took the fire ball for me.” He said smirking that infamous smirk.

“Well my instincts kicked in, ya know being a hero and all.” I said looking away as my face grew red and he laughed a little.

“Sure, anyway how are your wings?” Lash asked and I looked back at the bandages sadly.

“They got burnt pretty bad but they should heal in time.” I said and he nodded.

“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.” Lash said looking down and I looked back at him.

“It’s not your fault that I got hit with fire. It may be your fault that Will fell hitting Peace but it’s not your fault that I got hit.” I said laughing a little which made him smile. “We should get back to class.” I said as I looked at the clock to see school ended in ten minutes.

“Fine, let’s go.” He said and we exited going to the classroom separately.
