A newly-manicured thumb hovers dangerously close to the "block caller" button taunting Orina from her phone screen. Blocking someone's number before the first date is even over is probably considered uncouth by most. But with how terrible it's is going ( at least top 3, in her book ), severing their already flimsy ties and pretending this never happened will be a mercy to them both.
Said date is still in the convenience store she's parked outside of. He'd said something about needing cigarettes after their dinner together, and she'd almost felt smug assuming it's because she'd tap danced right on his last nerve. When the passenger door opens, she spares the barest of glances, thinking he's finally finished with his shopping. The shock of fresh red in her perifery, not unlike bright, spreading star bursts, draws her attention fully.
"Who the hell are you?" She questions, alarm and anger rising in her voice, the first wave of emotions available to grasp onto. Next comes the fear. They're unfamiliar to her, so much so it feels like they've spawned from a world totally different from hers. All blood and wounds and grenades—
"Are you crazy? Get out!"
Words are cut off by her own shriek as the world shrinks down to the crash of breaking glass, the sharpest pressure grazing her cheek, and the fervency of "I said drive!" With hands finding the steering wheel, she listens. The car peels out of the parking lot with a squeal, leaving only traces of skid marks and glass on the asphault.
Scratch that—make this the worst first date of all time. If it even counts as that anymore.
