“Awesome! Is he cute? Single? I do like y’all’s accents… also? FYI You are all coming with me to the lake for 4th of July. Get to booze it up, blow crap up, see pretty lights in the sky… some burgers, some apple pie with vanilla ice cream after? Most magical day of the year.
“Oh! Oh gosh. I can come too, right? Its like 2 days after my birthday!”, Macy says in a high-pitched squeal, clapped her little hands together with the fingers curled.
“Of course! Not letting my teammates, my new friends, any of them, spend their first Freedom Day alone! It would be a pleasure to have you there, Macy. Just be sure to bring an appetite; dad always makes too much. I-I haven’t really had friends over before, for the holiday at least, but we will buy extra fireworks for everyone! Extra, extra for you since it is around your B-Day! Travis’s family lives on the other side of our lake… going to pull out all the stops to show him up!”
Yay!”, your thin friend yelled out. The fear, dread and horror from your time in the Forests had begun to fade, replaced by a certain nut job’s energy. This… Ilvermorny was going to be good. Even Macy, once so shy and cagey was catching the bug.
“Aubrey? I cannot tell if you want to kill this guy or fuck him. You get that, right?”
“Yes. He is handsome but never takes our rivalry seriously… just… beats me and walks away. But now? Now I have three new strong, brave, or cunning partners to train with! He will never see it coming… yes. My revenge for five years of being ignored…”
“Yeah, Jenn? She wants to frick him.”, Emmy says as she takes the keys from Aubrey’s hand.
“Sounds like it. Or yeah, murder him in his sleep. But are the two that different, really?”
“Umm… I think it sound romantic. Star crossed lovers, ships in the night never to meet… that stuff.”, Macy chimes in. And all you did was giggle. One afternoon and you were already having so much fun, had a death-defying series of encounters? Met a loon who was still very competent? This… it wasn’t going to be so bad.
<span class="mu-s">What ever you need to say to go to bed, Jennifer.</span>
Shut it, me. That was all you could bark out in your mind as you focused forward, not in the way “you” had tempted you with but still…
I hate the character limit so god-damn much.
