Mia Being Mia

  "Hello!"

  "Sir!"

  "Hello!"

  "Hello!"

  "Vasco, sir!"

  "Jace, sir!"

  "Mia, ma'am!"

  "Hello!" The freshmen were bowing again as the three of us were walking down the hallway. 'Ma'am? Why does it sound so proper? ....Ew.' I thought. 'It'd be cooler if I got called Master. Yes, bow down before me, peasants!' I mentally chuckled.

  "Long time no see, Eun Tae." One of them smiled while leaning on the wall. Glancing at the boy, I tilted my head. 'He knows Vasco?'

  "....Huh? You are?" The big guy looked lost.

  "Who are you?"

  "Speak formally to your senior." The others said.

  "You don't remember me?" The boy looked upset.

  "Nope, I don't." Vasco said honestly.

  "Who is that?"

  "Talking like that to Vasco."

  "Your promise to fight me, did you forget it?" The freshman raised his voice while placing a hand over his chest. "Come on!" He shouted while Vasco looked puzzled.

  "You? Fight Vasco?" My brows furrowed as I stepped forward. My hands were stuffed into my pockets as I glared up at the boy. "You're either really strong or really stupid. How about I kick your ass and find out which one it is?" The freshman looked down at me, and his ears went red before he huffed and turned on his heel, storming off down the hallway. "Oh, I wanna punch that one in the face. With my fist." My lip twitched up into a snarl.

  "Mia, do you even realize half of the stuff you say?" Jace questioned.

  "I know damn well what I say. It's just saying I wanted to punch him alone didn't feel like enough. I had to specify."

  "Hey, Vasco?" I leaned back on the bench while looking at the sky.

  "Hm?" He glanced at me while holding a water bottle. We were taking a break from running, and Daniel had gone to the bathroom.

  "....You wanna kiss again?" I asked while turning my head to look at him. His face bloomed red, and it seemed as if the gears in his head had stopped turning. Clearing my throat, I felt my ears heating up. "I mean, we can hold hands first before we do that, but I was only asking since we haven't really done anything since then...."

  "O-Oh....uh, b-but do you want-"

  "I want to put my mouth on your mouth." I blurted out, cutting him off as my cheeks tinted pink.

  "Uh...." Vasco seemed at a loss for words as his face was like a cherry.

  "I like you and your face. If you don't wanna make out yet, we can start by holding hands. I've never confessed before, but I'm trying, and now that I think about it this is very embarrassing. Please ignore everything I just said and pretend I said something much nicer that makes you swoon." I told him as my ears were burning. "Okay, fuck it, I'm not good at this bloody stuff so I'll say it plainly- I'm in love with you." I averted my gaze while balling my hands into fists in my pockets. "And I'd like to do more than just sit or run with you, but if you're not ready for any of that yet, that's okay. We can just talk or something until-"

  Vasco made me stop talking by kissing my cheek, and I felt my heart flutter. 'Fucking palpitations are gonna kill me....'

  "Holding h-hands would be a good start." He mumbled while looking in the opposite direction and holding out his hand to me. Smiling softly, I took it and glanced at the heavily blushing boy before I looked at the ground.
