“Hey, uh, you know a guy called Jesse? Or you seen him around or somethin’?” Japonica asked, voice lowered and head down as she began walking up to the nearest person.
“Nah, no idea who that is.” She eyed the girl for a second, considering dropping it there. It wasn’t typical of Anna to be kind to someone she didn’t know, but she sighed anyway, one eyebrow raising. “Why?” She asked, not intending to be nosy so much as trying to help.
“Does adding rum to wine coolers make me an alcoholic?”
“Depends on how frequently you do it.”

“The crackers keep breaking and I’m getting really frustrated because I’ve never had them before and everyone was talking about how good they are.”
“Can’t say I’ve had them before either. You getting your marshmellow melty enough? Seems like it’d be more difficult with one that’s too stiff, I dunno.”

“Fucking hell, smores are so much harder than they look.”
“Isn’t it just graham cracker, marshmallow, chocolate, graham cracker?”
“No, their attractiveness peaks my interest and then I get to know them. Why do you feel the need to turn me into an asshole? Did somebody hurt you?”
“No one hurt me. I just have a sharp eye for people that likely aren’t worth my time. I call it good judgment.”
“Died?” she replied back immediately. The expression on Ellis’ face and the eyes that were looking at her a few minutes ago went back to minding their own business but her mood didn’t seem to calm down. “Yes, she died.” Ellis shifted in her position, deciding to lower her voice a little, not wanting to cause another scene. “Beau already knows. I thought he would’ve said something to you.” she said, only because she didn’t know what else to say in a situation like this with a girl that she didn’t quite get along with.
Perhaps Beau had said something at some point or another, but Anna was either too blinded by rage, too distracted, or too goddamn stoned to remember. Either way, guilt squeezed at her chest more and more tightly by the moment and she swallowed harshly, attempting to collect some sort of apology. Her pride caused her words to lodge in her throat, though, and she just watched the girl for a moment. “Well-- I uh-- I didn’t know that,” she told her, finally dropping her arms. “Yeah. My bad, then,” she said, kicking herself internally for not bringing herself to legitimately apologize. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and mumbled, “I’m sorry.”

“Civil, right?” Ellis said, turning back while her temperature started to rise. During moments like this, she would usually keep her cool but enough was enough. “I wasn’t here to start trouble with you. I know you’re trying to defend Beau and I know that he’s hurt. What makes you think that I’m not either?” she said, her voice starting to raise a little while people starting look her way though by this point, she didn’t even care anymore. “Why don’t you try losing your mom plus the person you were in love with all in the same week, Anna.” she spat. She felt tears starting to well up in her eyes out of anger and not sadness though fought it back, not wanting to look weak in front of people; especially Anna.
Anna’s expression only became darker and darker by the moment, her eyes locked on Ellis as she continued to speak. Anna was tempted to just dismiss her and continue about her work-- honestly she didn’t care all that much about the girl’s issues-- but curiosity had always been a driving force behind her regardless. She narrowed her eyes, but there was a visible change in her posture as she mentioned losing her mother. Truthfully she didn’t know what to say that; she hadn’t been aware of the circumstances. Somehow she found herself speaking when she preferred silence: “Your mom? What do you mean you lost your mom?” It was a dumb question and she regretted asking immediately. And she definitely regretted the soft, apologetic tone she was now using. “You mean she--?”
“How is asking for your number making you an object? It actually means you’re pretty and I’d like to talk to you more.”
“So that’s what your interest in others is based off of? How attractive they are? That’s exactly how it turns someone else into an object. You’re judging someone at face value alone.”
wtfcallahan:
“Why is it gross? Work is the most stressful time of the day where people sweat the most and tend to look the worst. So if you’re getting hit on, shouldn’t you be flattered?” He smirked. “Other than your phone number? a Dr.Pepper.”
“For starters I’d like to get through my work day without being seen as some sort of object,” she offered, eyebrows raising as she nodded. “So no, I’m not flattered.” Anna tensed, realizing she could get herself into trouble if she got too much more worked up, so she feigned a smile. “Dr. Pepper, right. If you’ll have a seat I’ll bring your food right out to you.”

Beau nodded, typing in the quick message and handing the phone back over to Anna. “What’s Twitch?”
“Streaming site for video games. Some asshole said he could finish a Zelda game in three hours without using any mods and he’s a fucking liar.” She took her phone, checking her notifications. “He’s late. Hasn’t even started. My clock is already ticking.”
wtfcallahan:
“Oh, cheeky. Well then fried is fine.”
“It’s kinda gross to hit on someone who is working,” she said in spite of her attempts to keep her temper in check. “Fried it is. Anything else I can get you?”

“Yeah, some teachers can be real hard asses, but doing that doesn’t help the students so I try not to be like that.” Charlotte gave the girl a warm smile as she continued to talk,” I appreciate you coming to class though, it makes me happy to see everyone’s faces while I teach. Just let me know if you need any help!”
Anna was so surprised by her teacher’s kindness that she’d all but forgotten about her own job. It wasn’t until she heard a repeated dinging sound from behind her that she remembered, in which case she jumped to her feet. “Oh, shit-- I mean crap-- or whatever. Sorry.” With that she ran to the back, grabbed Charlotte’s food, and brought it back out to her. “I’ll uh-- yeah, I’ll be sure to let you know. Thanks again,” she said as she set it out on the table, pausing in case she needed anything else.

“Look, I’m not here to argue with you. But this bad blood between us,” she said, gesturing her fingers between the two of them, “I don’t get it. You don’t even know what happ –” Ellis started though stopped before she said too much. She tried to see passed Anna’s tough exterior and understood the fact that she was just trying to defend her cousin but still couldn’t help but be bothered by it. She didn’t know the whole story. At least Ellis didn’t think she did. She sighed, shaking her head and grabbing the paper bag off the counter once her order was done. “Forget about it then.” she said, deciding to let go of the subject. She didn’t need to prove herself to anyone. “Thanks.” she muttered under her breath, holding up the paper bag before starting to make her way out of the store.
Anna’s expression was a little less controlled now that she wasn’t behind the counter; she narrowed her eyes at the girl, expression steely. No, Anna didn’t know what happened, and she partly assumed this girl would try to convince her that Beau was somehow in the wrong. She wasn’t having any of that, even if her curiosity was piqued. “Why the hell did you even bring me around the counter, then?” She asked as the girl started to leave, throwing her arms up in frustration. At this point she didn’t even care if her manager saw her.
charlixvxga:
“Oh no need to apologize,” Charlotte shrugged off the apology, ”All of my friends would skip my classes if I was their teacher so I don’t blame students for missing a few.” She took another drink of her soda before she continued talking, ”I have recordings of my lectures if you ever need them!”
Typically teachers weren’t so understanding of her absences. She had to repeat more classes than she was proud to admit, so hearing Charlotte dismiss it was somewhat of a relief. In fact, it just made her want to go to class that much more; she respected the woman now. “Yeah, uh-- yeah, that’d be nice for when I miss. I’m going to do my best not to do that anymore, though. Thanks for understanding. Most people just... y'know.”

“I’m only using it to text someone real quick, don’t worry,” Beau responded, smiling at her as she handed over her phone. “You’re like a life saver right now, you know that?”
“Right now? I’m always a life saver,” she told him, shifting her weight from one leg to the other. “Don’t take too long, though. There’s some guy doing a speed run on Twitch and I want to see him fail.”
ellissage:
Ellis couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the amount of sarcasm that was in Anna’s voice. Ellis didn’t want to make a scene at her workplace but she couldn’t be bothered to why the girl despised her so much. “Look, do you have a moment? Can we talk like proper civilised people?” she asked, trying to be as subtle as possible.
It was a wonder Anna didn’t jump over the counter when the girl rolled her eyes at her. She had the audacity to break up with her cousin-- the most precious little sunflower on the planet-- and then act this way toward her when she called her out on it? Obviously Anna knew nothing of the real reason behind it. She took a careful, shaky breath, grip tightening on the counter. “I was being completely civil,” she told her, though she finally peeked around behind her to check for another employee. After motioning for him to take her place, she moved around the counter and toward Ellis, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. “What in the world do we have to say to each other?”
