mars

dos

priscilla sat there with a smile on her face for what felt like hours but was in reality just twenty minutes; her food had come out, her new friend whom she had nicknamed 'boy toy froy' was telling her a story of how he laughed so hard milk came out of his nose and her belongings hadn't been stolen from the booth she was sitting in prior to meeting froy.

she had settled down in the seat opposite him after she shouted at melody for not bringing her food out because she was too mentally and physically drained to walk just ten steps back to her original seat so she chose to sit with him instead leaving her phone and jacket; which contained her wallet, but she wasn't too worried about that right now.

"so i was sat there in the cafeteria drinking my milk carton and then my former bully, max stevens, was about to ask his crush brittany chrysler out to prom but unfortunately for him, she was taking kickboxing classes so when she got shocked by him popping out the present box, she knocked him out and, well yeah, i laughed so much that my milk came running down my nose. he explained with an expression of elation etched across his face and it was almost as if he was imagining the memory like it was yesterday.

priscilla shot him a warm hearted smile and asked with genuine interest "but did they go to prom together?"

froy looked up at her and replied "yes, they did actually but then two weeks after she realised he was a monster after she saw him manhandle me and started going out with me instead." priscilla seemed shocked "wow, so you're mr. steal your girl"

"yeah, you could say that" he replied smugly. "so mr. froy boy toy troy bolton" a smile stretched across his face reaching his eyes "would you like to play a game?" she questioned propping one of her legs on her chair and laying her back on the rest, looking and feeling a lot more relaxed. "what kind of game" he inquired, looking a bit more intrigued "and ask-ey game" she replied trying to be more mysterious.

"ask-ey? I dig that, okay i'm down" he spoke, feeling confident and more comfortable with the girl who had introduced herself as a planet. "the game is twenty one questions." she said knowing a question she had heard one too many times was about to be asked. "isn't it meant to be twenty questions?" he asked confused.

"well, normally it is but I'm not normal. so the objective of twenty one questions is that you ask basic ass questions but you have a chance to ask one soul wrenching and complicating question at the end which requires a very detailed answer in return, hence twenty one questions." he smiled at her with a gleam in his eye, he knew his life was about to get a thousand times more interesting with this firecracker of a girl in his life now.

"okay, shoot" he replied.

"favourite colour?" she asked. "aquamarine" he answered.

"favourite recording artist?" he questioned. "tigarah" she replied.

"favourite food?" she inquired. "anything of an asian variety" he responded.

38 more questions were asked collectively and it was time for the twenty first question.

"what were you doing here this morning before I came here" she asked him when her turn arrived. "well, i was working on a screenplay i'm writing for my college course because my dream in the future is to be a actor, maybe recording artist as well. who knows?" he shrugged his shoulders while saying the other part.

"so...why do you go by mars" he asked looking in her eyes while awaiting the answer. "because I want to?" she replied saying that more like a question than a statement. "oh cool." he paused letting awkward silence take his place until he continued "really? because i basically told me my life and dreams and you just gave a short reply?"

"ugh, fine" she dragged the 'ugh' for added effect " my dad and I used to watch sailor moon when i was younger and sailor mars was always my favourite and my dad said i kinda looked like her before he passed away so when he did, i guess i kinda took up the name as a coping mechanism"

"wow" he said in shock that she said all that so calmly until a smile took over her calm expression "okay, don't hate me but the dead dad part was a lie, i just wanted to see your face and i apologise and i'm sorry if I offended anyone who has a dead dad in their lives." when she had finished talking, he just shook his head at the black haired half-asian teen in front of him.

when priscilla finally finished her meal in between talked to froy and checked the time, she had packed all her belongings along with him and they walked out together. meanwhile melody just smiled at them through the kitchen window hoping that froy would be good for the troubled teen that was mars.
