Runer/Lorn

Would you go out with me?

You shouldnt be able to see me. Shock was on my face.

What? Of course I can-

Well apparently you can but you shouldnt be able to.

What is that supposed to mean? Are you using a cloaking spell or something? He used air quotes to emphasize his sarcasm.

Yes. I replied not understanding the point of sarcasm.

He looked as if he would reply, in a stuttering mess, but then the bus lurched.

Look, I have to go, been nice meeting you- no idea how you can see me- but I have a target to follow.

Wait! What is that supposed to mean? He grabbed my sleeve as I got up to run out.

Look, right now, no one else can see me, nor hear me, meaning you look like your talking to nothing. I tried shrugging off the pest. If you dont believe me, go ask your friends, theyll all think your crazy.

You read my mind. His shocked face was almost worth laughing.

No, sweetie, I didnt. You are just very obviously an idiot.

At least tell me your name.

And why should I? What do I owe you? Certainly not an explanation, I have no idea why you can see my.

He looked defeated, B-but I need something to call you.

I looked away scoffing, Fine. My name is Runerithpolynorthic.

What was that?

Runer for short.

Oh, okay Runner, whats next? He asked, hooking his arm in mine as we walked away from the bus.

First its Ru-ner. Not Runner. And second, you have school next, and I have my business.

He made an adorable pouty face, But what if I dont what to go to school? I mean I did just ask out my crush, even if Im not supposed to see-

So what? You want me to take you to Starbucks for coffee? Yeah, no. I have a job to do.

And what is that job? Something that involves being invisible? Hes really starting to irritate me.

Yes, actually, and right now I have one of my few chances to do my job correctly so if yo- I replied hotly but was cut off.

No, please, Ive never been on a date. He grabbed my arm in a death grip, right as I was trying to stealthily remove it. Damn he notices everything.

Fine, no promises, but any other day than today.

Okay then, and you never asked my name.

I looked down the few inches that separated us. Your name is Lorn Purnasto of class 3-A.

How do you know so much about me? He looked extremely puzzled.

Its my job to know everyone in your year I cant explain myself, not to you.
