dancing with the devil,

Turning off her phone, the girl glanced around the area, pushing her way through the crowd before spotting the smaller girl by the baggage claim area. Snickering, Fae quickly made her way towards Fleur before giving the younger the greasiest grin she could muster, “Hey pretty lady. What’s your kik?”

At the mention of sweets, Fae skid to a stop before turning towards the other boy, her lips pursing, “What kind of sweets?” Though she normally didn’t accept free food (bad childhood memory that involved cupcakes and dirt), Fae doubted that the boy in front of her could do such a thing. He could barely string a coherent sentence together without breaking down; however, just to be safe, Fae rubbed the edges of her book, scowling, “If you’re trying to poison me, it’s not going to work. I’ve ingested enough as a child to practically be immune.” A lie but it wasn’t like he knew. Besides, if he really wanted to test the Landegre family out, he would have to go through Faust and Fleur, both extremely scary when messed with.

“Is there nobody at the office?” She asked, looking up from her tangerine peels before narrowing her eyes slightly. Glancing at her wrist watch, Fae sighed before standing up, gathering the peels in her hand before shrugging, “Might as well. Not like I have anything better to do with my life. Come on.”

“Because boys don’t seem to understand that no means no and “I’m not interested” means that I’m not playing hard to get. So I told them that you were my secret lover and now we’re hugging until they leave.” And with that, Fae snuck a glance at the male who kept on pestering her for her phone number, watching in content as he walked away. After a few more seconds, just to be on the safe side, the girl pulled away, “Sorry about that. How about I buy you a drink or something to make it up to you? You did help me out.”

clicking her phone off, fae ran her fingers through her hair before making her way towards margaret’s locker. soon reaching her destination, she spotted the familiar red hair and walked quickly towards her, wrapping her arms around margaret’s waist with a grin, “missed me?”

She felt her cheeks heat up in embarrassment-- he was fucking singing?-- before giving him a look, refusing to acknowledge her mistake. It wasn’t like he heard her rant anyways. “I was saying, you suck at singing and you should stop. I would rather not go to my locker and have to listen to that.” With that, Fae gave him one last look before walking away.

“Suck my ass, Pornett.” Fae snapped in return, rubbing the shoulder the elder had rammed himself into. Picking up the books she had dropped, the elder Landegre gave the taller boy a scowl before running a hand through her hair, “I know you’re stupid but it’s common sense not to run into people. God. How’d you even get into high school with an IQ of two digits like that?”

“Is Fleur not in her room?” Fae asked, glancing at the shorter girl before sucking on her teeth quietly, opening the door to her room. “Come in for now then, at least. Make yourself at home. You can use Ade’s teapot to make yourself some Earl Gray if you’d like.” Shutting the door behind her, Fae made her way back to her bed before sitting on it, “Now, are you okay?”

“Oh well?” Fae asked, biting her lower lip harshly to keep herself from screaming as the girl exhaled, glancing at the stain on her own shirt before glancing at the other’s empty cup. “Well maybe, you should fucking watch where you’re going next time. You have eyes for a reason, use them.”
