A Change of Heart

[Tenome]

Agitated, he stiffened at her remark. "Woah, woah. Just because I smiled at you does mean I was trying to get you to fall for me. I was trying to be friendly. You know, by picking up your pencil for you. I guess of being friendly makes me abnormal, so be it."


He glared at her. "And princess, I don't have to be gentlemanly if you're not going to behave like a lady."

 

[IceQueen]

Mei felt her aura grow agitated. "Princess is something you use on girls with no brain or brawn, and a large chest." She said, glaring at him. "As you can see, I have brain and brawn so I would watch you're mouth."

 

[Tenome]

"Oh, and here I thought you might be disqualified because of your nonexistent chests."

 

[IceQueen]

Mei growled. "You know what, even if I did give a shit about what you said, I wouldn't even bother with scum like you." She said.

 

[Tenome]

"And yet you continue to bother," he pointed out, blue eyes trained on her. He shook his head-this conversation was going in circles. If only she was rational like a normal human being.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei scoffed. "And here I though there was a chance he wouldn't be an asshole." She mumbled, getting out of her seat and walking out of class, ignoring the calls from the teacher.

 

[Tenome]

Izzy's stared after her as he thought about her comment. I'm being an asshole? Says the chick who just called me scum.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei sighed, walking out to the court yard. She slumped against a tree in the far off distance, away from most of the classrooms. She sighed, pressing her knees to her face.

 

[Tenome]

As the minutes ticked by, Izzy began to feel somewhat guilt about mouth off to her. Sure, she was acting much worse than him, but that didn't give him the right to mistreat her. He asked the teacher if he could use the restroom.


As he hurried down the hall, he prayed no one would question him when he marched right past the boy's bathroom. Izzy assumed she'd be out by the tree, and was pleased to see he was correct. Her legs were pulled to her chest and he sighed.


"Look, I'm sorry. You should probably come back to class."

 

[IceQueen]

Mei looked up at him and rolled her eyes. "There is no way I am going back in there."

 

[Tenome]

"You'll probably get in trouble of you don't go back," he reasoned. Standing out there was awkward, and it certainly showed through his body language. Izzy normally liked to maintain a facade, but he felt like the act would be wasted on her.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei looked up at him, a bit of pain in her eyes. "I have already caused enough trouble to get expelled." She said.

 

[Tenome]

"That sucks," he said uncomfortably. What was he supposed to say? That he felt bad that she was chronically misbehaved?

 

[IceQueen]

Mei scoffed. "Yeah right. You feel it's just for me, I can tell."

 

[Tenome]

"Well, you did thrown my friend down unprovoked," he retorted. He sighed. "If you don't want to go back to class, you wanna ditch?"

 

[IceQueen]

Mei looked up. "I thought jocks had to go to class." She said humorously.

 

[Tenome]

"Luckily, I'm not a jock."

 

[IceQueen]

Mei scoffed a bit. "You sure do look like one."

 

[Tenome]

"I'm not even in any extracurricular sports," he laughed. "How do I look like one?"

 

[IceQueen]

Mei smiled, getting up. "Well, the fact you spend what appears to be hours on your hair." She said, touching it lightly.

 

[Tenome]

He felt his face heat up. He wasn't expecting her to get close enough to touch him. "So I care about my looks; that doesn't make me a jock. Maybe a prep?"

 

[IceQueen]

Mei laughed. "You sure do look like a jock." She said, backing away. She grinned at his cheek color, not saying a word after that.

 

[Tenome]

"So, ditching or class?" He asked as she backed off. "Because I have a car, so the options are more or less limitless."

 

[IceQueen]

Mei smiled. "I would love to ditch, considering I get good grades anyways."

 

[Tenome]

"Well as long as you don't car about your attendance suffering," he said, pulling his keys from his pocket and twirling them around his finger. He began to walk towards the street. "Anyway, that's my car over there."


He pointed in the direction they were heading, at a small, somewhat shitty, Kia Sportage. As he approached the vehicle and unlocked it he defended it, "It's not much, but it's mine. Had to pay for it myself."
