YOU'RE TOO SLOW IN GENERAL

none.

boredom had begun to turn into irritation as the night stretched on, urged further by the loud voices and figures bumping into him here and there. the platinum haired speedster had been trying to alleviate the irritation and boredom by talking to others but--- honestly. he wasn’t really feeling it. instead the first year had found himself by the food table, stacking piles and piles of food up on his plate. he hardly glanced over as someone else walked up to the table, not even stopping his pile up. “try the sandwiches. they’re almost okay.”

                  since they were going together tommy had decided to go all out for                   the jokes and hell of it. which meant him showing up at teddy’s door an                   hour early, shifting from one foot to the other and holding a corsage----                   of all things---- while smirking smugly. “teddy! theodore! buddy openthedoor!                   your ~date~ is here!” tommy was actually, secretly, a little apprehensive of                   the whole thing, he didn’t do fancy parties. not really. but it’d make a good                   impression on his mom, he guessed--- and if teddy was there it wouldn’t be                   all too bad,. at least he could bother teds if he got too bored.

                  it hadn’t taken him long to spot her. cute blue dress, curly hair.                   tommy was always good at zeroing in on the few people he could                   call friends--- especially when in an uncomfortably full room. full of                   people he didn’t know and could feel eyeing him. luckily this school                   was full of other ex juvenile delinquents so it wasn’t TOO weird but--- still.                   it was odd to be someplace fancy when he was use to noodles out of a cup                   and second hand clothes. shifting a moment to make sure she wasn’t talking                   to anyone the boy leaned back before shoving his way over to one anastasia tetch,                   grabbing a cup of soda from someone on his way. “annie!” smiling broadly the boy                   pushed the cup towards the girl, waggling his brows. “let me guess--- fairy princess?                   you look almost as good as i do. having fun?” no pause for breath.

                galas weren’t really his thing. far from it. thomas had always been the                 type to rave rather than drink and look fancy. it had only been at teddy’s                 insistence that he had decided to come to the gala anyway. that and                 because it was a chance to look nice for wanda--- and tommy wanted to                 make his mom happy. she deserved it. so. here he was flitting back and                 forth from the bar to a corner of the room, fidgeting nervously with anxious                 energy. he had consumed about five cokes already and was starting to heavily                 debate moving onto actual alcohol when he spotted a vaguely familiar form by                 herself. cousin of his cousin or something--- it was a distraction. good enough.                 downing the last of hs soda the white haired speedster slicked his hair back                 before zipping over next to the girl, all smiles and charms. “pretty lady like you                 shouldn’t be by yourself tonight. that’s no fun.” he cocked his head to the side,                 bright eyed and shiny grin. “tommy.”

                      “and they saw trouble in my eyes, they were quick to                        recognize the devil in me.”  

              i’m the quicker-silver. [KA CHING]               really, though. i’m fucking fast. so fast that i can vibrate molecules and make shit explode. i beat my uncle in a race once. i’m FAST. who’s asking? is it the other speedsters? cus i’m faster than them. for real.
