Yvie screws her locker door open and can’t resist the urge to look over at the group. The tallest is still occupied with the contents of her own locker, while Ariel and Plastique seem to be engaged in a quick back and forth on either side of her, talking with their hands animatedly. The blonde, Scarlet, is standing next to Ariel, distractedly swaying her handbag in front of herself and not really participating in the conversation. Shifting a little, she turns her head, letting her gaze wander, and catches Yvie’s eyes on her.

She immediately breaks a smile, the kind that isn’t too exaggerated but looks like it probably hurts her cheeks nonetheless, and gives Yvie a tiny wave. Yvie lets one corner of her mouth curl up, attempting to conceal the hopeless grin threatening to spill and play it off casual. She lifts her hand to wiggle her fingers back at Scarlet, whose expression brightens even further. 

Or, Yvie and Scarlet don’t have a past, not really, and their future isn’t a given either.

In which they’re a classic case of the right person at the wrong time — twice.

So she texted me she got home safe, I said my train was being stupid and then she was like “can I ask you a question?” And I was SCARED because honestly I had a feeling what was coming and I was right. She asked me “do you wanna be together?”

I mean I didn’t want to just say no without asking her too, so I asked; “do you want that?” And all she said was yes so I said nice. She didn’t answer so I thought it was all ok and that we’d talk about it next time we met, but then she texted me; “ok I’ll say it officially, we’re together”

And I was like !??? GIRLIE WHAT but at the same time I felt like it didn’t matter because she never asked about my day, she didn’t use stupid pet names, and whatever so yeah
