“your shaking head says no, but i know my ears don’t deceive me. you were just humming to my music. justin bieber, of all singers. tell me, are you a belieber?”
hello i am still here i will do a thing like reply to replies on mu starter from 600 years ago like tomorrow xoxo how u all r well
“do i seem dark to you? all powerful, scary, blue flames in my hair?” melia shrugged, her lips pressing together to form a pout. “i told someone i was, well, me today and both their eyes grew to the size of a discus. almost like they were expecting me to follow up my name with ‘hail hades’ or something along those lines. i always thought i was pretty peachy– approachable, even.”
She gave a joking huff, dramatically throwing her arms in the air, as the other explained how far Aiko was from her intended location. “Is it obvious? I’m so, so bad at directions,” she laughed, and looked at the other. “You don’t mind ditching the party to help some newbie?”
“it’s a new place. i’d be lying if i said i didn’t get lost my first day here. i spent about an hour bitching out a lunch lady, expecting her to know where my room was. t’was embarrassing.” her offered half a smile, shrugging her shoulders. taking a few steps in the right direction, she motioned to aiko. “not at all-- party’s kinda beat, anyways. come follow melia, she knows the way.”
“We can get one officially made, but we’ll have to go through a blood oath first. I make no promises about my tail, and the fact that when I change back I am naked. But don’t worry, you’ll get used to it,”
he informed her with a bright smile on his face that put his dimples on full display for her. He leaned forward as well as she did so, copying her actions with his eyes as if he was in on the joke.
“Y’know what, I just might spill some on you.”
“a blood oath? that’s some deep shit, brendon. ah-- something i’ve always wanted in a best friend. for someone to swim with, and then when we get out of the water he’s naked. i’m so blessed,” his smile just made hers widen-- she grinned from ear to ear, letting out a loud laugh as she couldn’t keep up the ‘serious’ charade any longer. the threw her hand over her heart quickly, feigning pain for just a moment. “you wouldn’t dare.”
“i’m so happy to get back into the swing of things, i must confess i’ve missed everything and everyone. that probably makes me weird, but for once i don’t care. but could someone please fill me on in what i missed?”
“literally nothing-- absolutely nothing. there was a birthday party, but it wasn’t that climactic. but hey, welcome back.”
i willbe on tomorrow i promise!!!!
▻ ❝ i’m serious.” although with his grinning and constant chuckles it was slightly hard to tell whether he was being real or not. perhaps another time he would let the blonde into what it is what he did, but for the time being, all he planned on doing was answering her direct questions. “more less, very rewarding though.” his eyes rolled away just to have him squint at melia, was he really that obvious? yes, yes he was. “not at all. when i get a thing in mind, i gotta make sure i do it or else.. what’s the point, you know?” he explained as he paid for melia’s milkshake and fries. that was what dakota usually called a successful transaction given that he had now a number and a name too. “it’s nice to meet you, melia. i’m kota. –– can i still call you that, though? you are pretty.” he reminded her.
melia always loved a good mystery-- and this boy truly was one. she wasn’t quite sure how she felt about the vagueness in his answers-- or whether or not he was actually being serious. choosing to not press on the subject much more, she grinned when he ordered her fries. “i suppose there’s something respectable about being a go getter. . i can relate to that on some level.” her eyes remained on the person making her milkshake as the two shuffled down the line, offering her thanks when it was finally ready. “kota-- that’s different. tell me, kota, is it nice to meet you too?” she shot him yet another playful grin, putting a straw in her shake and taking a sip. “well. . if you insist, yes, you can still call me it. . thank you.”
“ oh you’re friends with that asswipe. yeah, you know what? i don’t want to talk to you anymore. sorry - not really. ”
“aw--really? i thought we were hitting it off ??” melia huffed, rolling her eyes. “he’s so incredibly far from being an asswipe, though i’m sure deep, deep down you probably know that. but hey, i’ll let you get back to gawking over the other new students. see ‘ya around, elliot.”
“Ms. Bjorgman–or Octavia. Actually, please just Octavia. I’m older than most around here, but not old enough that I expect people to address me so formally. The ‘we rate dogs’ one sounds interesting, but only if their ratings are only ever positive. All dogs were created equal–and perfect. There isn’t a single puppy out there who deserve less than a 10 out of 10.” Octavia smiled brightly. “Yes, 100%. Anything you tell us, stays with us. Of course, of course. Are you at Walter Prep or the university?”
“octavia-- got it. generally, the ratings are positive. the only time a bad rating comes up is if someone submits a big pretending to be a dog. which, is understandable, despite the fact that the pig might be living out it’s dream of being a canine.” melia made a brief ‘hmph’ sound, nodding her head slowly. “well. . good to know. i’m a youngin-- gracing the halls of walter prep.”
friend: are u a big spoon or a little spoon?
me: im a knife
“Sounds like a perfect plan. Though I’ll have to warn you, we will occasionally be spending time in the water because I am infact a mermaid. It will also be a huge inconvenience getting out of the water once we’re in there. This is what you’ve signed yourself up for by being my friend.”
He thought about her reference for a second before shrugging and nodding his head slightly.
“I suppose you can say that. Ofcourse I can…I uh…. Anyway, no one deserves kale juice spilled all over them.”
“man-- i knew i should’ve had contracts drawn up for friendships when i came here. you’re lucky i like water. but listen-- if i somehow get smacked with that tail of yours ever, you’re cut, brendon.” she did her best to keep a serious exterior as she said this, but her cheeky grin broke through. his response prompted her to lean forward a bit, narrowing her eyes as she tried to make eye-contact with her friend. “no one, eh? i don’t know, i’d spell many a cups of kale juice on my enemies . . .”
▻ ❝ touche.” dakota admitted with another nod, though this one slightly firmer than the past ones, and by now they had walked up to the line before the counter. hopefully those extra five minutes would help the two of them decide if the fries were to be worth it as well. “i’m aware i am very persistent. it’s part of my job, in a way y’know?” though, that was as much as kota disclosed on the topic before he turned his face to look down at her with crossed arms. “mmm, sorry but that won’t do.”
“uhuh. your job,” she snickered. “tell me, is there a lot of money in that? is it rewarding?” she broke her eyes away from the menu board just to wiggle her brows at dakota, shaking her head not long after. “you’re not easily persuaded either, are you?” truthfully, his persistence was a little flustering for her-- not in a bad way, but nobody had ever been this . . eager with melia before. thinking over it made her cheeks turn crimson, after riddling off her milkshake order to the cashier-- a banana milkshake with oreos, she began rummaging through her bag for her post-it notes, writing her number on one and her name beneath it once she found them. “here-- and my name’s melia-- so you can stop calling me ‘pretty’.”
Her face flushed a crimson when she was told where she was. Not from embarrassment of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, just at the fact she didn’t even know. “Oops,” she shrugged, looking down at her primarily dark wardrobe, a flannel over her shoulders. “Well, c’est la vie,” Aiko laughed, looking at the lei now around her neck. Not particularly her style, but she just went with it. Performing? Why would she be– she glanced at the guitar case in her hand, shaking her head vigorously. “What– no, oh God, no, I’m moving in,” she explained, bewildered.
“oh-- oh no,” melia laughed, thinking back to earlier today when she watched people remove the directional signs for new students. she heard something about how they ‘took away’ from the festivities, so she could see how someone could get lost. “you’re pretty far from where you’ve gotta be. . . do you need help finding your destination?”
“ hm, i don’t like how you know my name & i don’t know yours. ——so who’s the little birdy who talks about me? ”
“m’names melia petros, if that eases any of your worries. you might know my friend-- brendon? great guy.”
