Arms of a Stranger

Tiny: was a bit apprehensive about this whole thing. But if there was one thing he knew, it was to get things settled before they spun out of control. And though they might have already gotten there, Tiny didn't want things to get worse than they were between himself and Lola. He stepped out of his and Kai's dorm and to the park, hands shuffled in his pocket as he saw her on one of the benches. "You didn't pick the park with the swings, bummer." He spoke out as he walked to the bench she was on, taking a seat on the back rest, glancing down at her. "You OK?"

tiny: that'll work. i'm just cautious is all, this tall lanky guy got coffee poured on him by this blonde a few weeks ago over some major blowout i hear.

tiny: i'm game if you are.

lola: no need to be cautious. i literally just wanna talk that's it.

tiny: i suppose we could do that. maybe someplace neutral would be ok?

lola: wanna do like the park? i promise i'm not going to yell at you.

He hadn’t realized he was the last on the field until the wind was whistling behind him. It was weird being back on mound, knowing that people would be cheering and screaming, not knowing everything it took to get him back out there. Luke adjusted his features to non-discerning once he heard the pixie voice behind him. “Never gets old. Lost on the way to the mall or something?” 

“Figured it probably wouldn’t.” Lola said as she smiles at him. She shrugs her shoulders whenever he asked if she got lost on her way to the mall. “No I know that way. I watch sports considering I’m a cheerleader. So I’ve come out here a few times myself.” 

Lola had noticed Luke on the field with no one else around. For a second she lets him take the field in by himself before she decides to interfere. “Are you taking it all in how it’s going to be like when you get to play on the field?” Lola questions as she stands next to the pitcher circle that he was standing on.

adam: he’ll come back hopefully with the answer you want.

adam: oh okay just checking.

adam: sadly i don’t think that’s something you can turn off. it won’t always be like this. you’ll find your one.

lola: hopefully. If not then I’m just at this point tired of expressing my feelings.

lola: yeah.

adam: is it really a rejection though? since he still likes you. i’m sorry i wish i could help in some way. you don’t know how this will turn out, everything could end up working out.

adam: someone else did this too? or are you talking about drew?

adam: i did because i didn’t want to hurt either. plus sorting out feelings is hard.

lola: in a way it kind of does. mainly cause ever since he started to explore his feelings he hasn’t asked to really hang out with me at all.

lola: I was talking about Drew.

tor: yeah well i hope it works out. but even if it doesn't..plenty of fish right?

Seeing how you interact with different types of people, looking to see how you handle yourself, if you fit into the sisterhood. Nothing too crazy. 

Oh good. That doesn’t sound too bad at all. Sounds like a little get together actually. I’m okay with that.

Atta girl.We’re gonna do a little something this weekend with the Alphas and their recruits. I would ask if you’re free, but you kind of have no choice. 

Do I get to know anything of what might be in store? Eh all my days have been pretty free lately.

tor: then let him do that. and in the meantime you have your fun. the last thing you wanna come off as is clingy and/or desperate.

tor: if ur life isn't going the way you want it to you're the only one that can change it.

“Right, that place on Degrassi St? I might have been there once or twice with my sister. Nice to meet you, I’m Luke.” 

“Yep you’d be correct. Surprised you never saw me there. I was there quite a lot for work. It’s nice to meet you too.” 

tor: you know what makes things really uncomplicated? tequila. we'll all squeeze into the back of an uber, hit the bar, and after a few shots you'll be looking at each other brand new
