Augustus is right handed and his right hand is occupied with holding the compress against his shoulder so he merely peers down at the food without touching it. It looks very appetizing, and he hadn’t realized how hungry he is. “I don’t know,” he answers mildly. He shifts the compress against his arm and gives the door behind him a longing look.

Mona frowned a bit at her plate, also not eating, but because her stomach was suddenly churning.  “You do not know?” she asked again, laughing tightly.  “I think that is a ‘yes’ . . . What did I do?”

[olliepickard-blog]

“Fucking tickle me.” He flicked her middle finger away.

[mmungbean-blog]

Mona laughed and poked his side. “Ask and you shall receive!” 

[stellamaddoxlim]

“I dunno, your body seems to lend itself to different styles,” Stella said as they browsed through. “Do you want to start in Bloomingdales?”

[mmungbean-blog]

Mona’s eyes widened. “Oh. . . Oh, I do not think I have enough money for Bloomingdales,” she said shyly, staring down at her feet.

It’d been a week without Mona’s peppiness, and the explosion of it had her taken aback for a minute, before grinning in her friend’s presence and nodding. “Yeah, I know, I’m sorry. I’ve been working this thing all week. Let me just finish up and we can go enjoy the festival, okay?”

[mmungbean-blog]

Mona nodded, hopping up on the counter to wait for Samantha. She watched her friend with amusement, then took to watching the people pass.  So many were trying to cash in their week’s worth of tickets for the best prices.  Mona sighed happily, then turned back to the counter, pleased to see her friend clocking out.  “So!  Is there anything you did not get to do at this carnival yet?”

[adammercer]

That hurt Adam more than he cared to admit, but he nodded at Mona’s apology, unable to hold a grudge. That was pretty logical, even if he knew himself not to be that way. He wouldn’t seek revenge for something so harmless. “It’s okay, Mona. I’m sorry someone ate your food.”

[mmungbean-blog]

She pouted down at her hands, still embarrassed and a little sullen about not having her leftovers.  “It is okay.  It was not your fault, right?”  She lifted her head to smile kindly at him.  “It was very spicy. . . that might explain the bathroom problems my floor is having,” she joked.

“Oh dear, I’m sure the birds didn’t mean to poop all over our campus – or your umbrella! They probably just had all their eyes on the chips… it’s probably hard out there for the birds,” he offered a small smile. “What’s up with high schoolers leaving food out in the open when there are trash cans nearby?”

Mona blushed a little, smiling ruefully at Jeremiah’s reasoning.  As much as she feared birds, Jeremiah made it sound so sweet.  “I guess my umbrella will be my payment for them singing me songs in the morning!” she said, trying to be as optimistic as he.

[lolpaisley]

“Fine.” She replied, blinking twice as her eyebrows furrowed together. Paisley had half a mind to continue editing but she wasn’t that heartless and besides, the girl had a small soft spot for family as hers had always been supportive in her times of need. 

[mmungbean-blog]

Mona’s eyes lit up and she turned, quickly hitting record and explaining as fast as possible in Korean what this room was, what she normally did in there, and how a girl was kind enough to give Mona time to record. When she finished, she hit end, a little out of breath.  “Thank you,” she said quietly, turning to Paisley. “That was very kind of you.”  It was not a part of their typical, more brusque dynamic.

[mediclindstrom]

“What?” Paige exclaimed, eyes wide with confusion. “You knew him? I’m not mad or anything but… Why couldn’t you have just asked for it yourself?”

[mmungbean-blog]

“I do not knoooow him,” Mona tried to explain, laughing nervously at Paige’s escalation.  “I know of him, because he is in a class of mine. But I have never spoken to him, and I thought you wanted to practice your feminine charms!” she said, now feeling shy about it all. “I am sorry I put you up to this, then. I did not mean to make you so uncomfortable!”

[augustusmilano]

“Yeah. I have playoffs and shit so I’m doing extra practicing.” Thinking about his solo practices reminds him of the sore developing on the L formed by his right thumb and forefinger—essentially where the stick sits against his glove when holding it—and he looks down at it. Sighing, he closes his fist and reminds himself to put ointment or something on it later. “Is your food okay?” he asks although it’s not like she has completely abandoned her food.

[mmungbean-blog]

Mona nodded, glancing over at her food.  She stirred it a bit more, then decided that it was a good time to serve the kimchi fried rice, with her leftover meats in it.  As she got plays out, she instructed that, “You should eat a lot, then, if you are practicing more--just be careful with this, as it is a bit spicy.”  She was not sure what his palette was like.  After serving them each a portion--his significantly bigger than hers, Mona sat down across from him. “I’m glad you are fine,” she said again, before quietly asking, “Are we fine?--the last time I saw you, I think you were upset. But jokingly. But I have not seen you in awhile, and now I am thinking it was maybe more than joking.”

My shift’s over in ten, why?

[mmungbean-blog]

“Because!” Mona said, jumping up and down on the opposite side of Samantha’s counter.  “It’s the last night of the festival and you and I should do at least one thing together, right? I barely saw you this spring break--and I want to fix that!”

[adammercer]

Whatever you think it is I did, I can almost guarantee you I didn’t do it.

[mmungbean-blog]

Mona deflated a little.  “I really did think it was you,” she pouted, feeling a bit embarrassed that she had been so accusatory.  “Someone must have eaten the food I was saving in the refrigerator!  I thought if it was you, it might be okay since I ate all those cookies of yours last time. . . I’m sorry, Adam!”

[jkjeremiah-blog]

“I’d say ‘it’s good to be back,’ but I don’t think anyone noticed I was gone in the first place,” he half-smiled at his poor attempt of a conversation starter. “What have I missed?”

[mmungbean-blog]

“What did you miss?” Mona looked up at the sky, as if that might help her remember.  “Oh--somebody left a lot of chips lying in the quad, and there was a rainstorm of bird poop!  I had my umbrella, but now my umbrella is ruined!”  She pouted. “I am very afraid of birds. It was a very scary day.”

Rowan dropped her stuff on the ground behind Mona. “God, of course not.” She smiled getting her stuff. “What’s your video for?” She asked, standing off to the side.

[mmungbean-blog]

Mona lowered her camera to smile thankfully at Rowan.  “Thank you!” She said brightly.  “It is for my parents. I was hoping to make them a video with my free time during spring break.  It might be nice if they met some of my friends. .. “ She said tentatively, offering Rowan a suggestive smile.

[olliepickard-blog]

“Ah, I’m fucking pained.” He closed his eyes for a moment, shifting his focus on the book he was supposed to find.

[mmungbean-blog]

“If you are pained, I might have medicine in my bag,” Mona said, pretending to rummage through it.  When she pulled her hand out of her bag, her middle finger was up and her smile was amused.  “It’s medicine for sore ass holes!”  Bothering Ollie was sometimes too easy, and too fun.

[stellamaddoxlim]

“I kinda do in a way,” Stella smiled to herself. “Well I am here to get you all of that and more,” Stella said perkily.

[mmungbean-blog]

Mona smiled a bit.  “Thanks for sharing that with me a bit today--and more?!” she asked, her thoughts racing excitedly.  “What do you think might suit me?” she asked as they entered the mall, their eyes given a taste of all the storefront displays.

[adammercer]

Adam nodded, as Mona had a point. “That is very true. Either way, I’m grateful. It’s been real nice talkin’ to you, Mona.” Refreshing, almost.

[mmungbean-blog]

Mona smiled a bit and nodded, glancing out the window as they pulled up at the school.  She checked her watch, then smiled at him again. “Don’t be a stranger, okay?” she said, as she began to gather her things.
