@beautywand     no, i’m way too clumsy.. [   she laughed, as she reached into her bag before handing her a water bottle.   ]     here. and don’t worry it’s unopened.   

no?  hm.. sad. you would make the team.   thanks!  i am out of breath though, so many somersaults.  

@beautywand      what?  no way!  i was watching you guys.  you did amazing, lena! 

@coIdeyes     school..  [ she bit her lip, an obvious lie. ]  i have way too much homework, i can’t keep up.  silly huh? 

well,  what on your mind  ?  obviously whatever it is,  it’s bothering you. 

@coIdeyes     no nothing!   i was..  just distracted.  i’m sorry.  

oh, that’s because we’re working on a project together.   don’t tell me you’re jealous now 

@thieflamp     um, the other day..  [  her tone sounds hesitant,  biting her lower lip as brown hues found his own.  ]      i saw you two together, you and lena. 

why?  what’s going on? you’re confusing me. 

@thieflamp        what’s wrong with being bunnies?    [    a disappointment look graced her features as she laid down onto her king sized bed, burying her face into her pillow.    clothes scattered around her dorm room of the mess she’d started to find the perfect look. ]     i’m out of ideas..  [ she then sat up.]   i know nothing scary..   

no,  it’s halloween.  you’re supposed to dress scary.   you got something else?

@thieflamp      but you have to!  c’mon the costume isn’t that bad?    i’ve worked days on it..  you don’t think its scary enough?   

@keta-mine   /    omgg >:0   yes im excitedd <3 

/    pulls out my notebook,  yep yep..  i'm on it!!!

@keta-mine   /   yep yep  >:) 

yeah.. whatever.   it’s on my desk, under those papers. 

@thieflamp    you didn’t have to hide it.  [    she said, her voice gentle, but with a firmness that wasn’t accusatory—more like a reminder.   ]   i get that you thought it might be safer,     but you could have just asked.   [   she deeply exhaled,  the tension in her shoulders easing, but her expression remained thoughtful.     ]     and i don’t think you’re a thief..    just,  can i have it please back?    

*his shoulders relaxed a fraction, the tension in his posture easing.  he could feel the genuine concern in her voice, even he wasn’t that heartless and it was clear she still needed answers. his gaze flickered briefly to the necklace before returning to her,   his expression now more contemplative.  he took a slow breath, and for the first time in the conversation, his calm demeanor shifted into something a little more vulnerable.*    alright.  *he said,   the truth was finally finding its way to the surface.*  i didn’t... take it, but i did move it.   *he looked away for a moment, his gaze drifting toward the window, unsure of how she’d react to his admission.* i thought maybe it’d be safer out of sight for a while.   *he met her eyes again, his expression a mix of uncertainty and honesty that he rarely showed anyone.*    i didn’t mean to make things harder for you.   i’m not a thief, celeste.  *he paused,    the weight of the confession settling in.*   i can give it back to you, if that’s what you want.
