Chapter Text
“Well, I am must be going. It was a pleasure bumping into you,” the girl said, and winked, and Keylieth swore she was going to pass out, but then the girl was gone, and Keylieth stood, with her books in her hand not knowing which way was up. She did eventually make her way to her class, but it passed without her catching a single piece of information, but instead was filled with the day dreams about a girl she just met.
After class, she messaged and met up with her best friend Percy at Gilmore’s Glorious Goods, the finest bakery in the area.
“Gilmore, these doughnuts are magical,” Keylieth said as she got her order.
“I know darling,” Gilmore said in his smooth deep voice, “Enjoy, and tell your friends!”
“So, did you say anything to her?” Percy said as she sat down.
“No, I just stuttered like an idiot.”
“I’m sure it wasn’t that bad,” Percy took a sip of his black coffee
“I don’t know how you can stand to drink it like that”
“Don’t change the subject dear. We were talking about you.”
Keylieth stuck her tongue out at Percy, “I don’t see you having any more luck,”
“I’m too busy for romance dear. I have all of my senior projects I’m working on.”
“That sounds like a load of bullshit to me. Maybe you just get as tongue tied as I do around a pretty boy.”
“But you see, we are still not talking about me,” Percy took another sip, “I’m sure you can ask her for her number next time you run into her on your way to class.”
“I could barely say anything to her this time. I’m sure she just thinks I’m an awkward creeper.”
“I don’t think anyone could think of you as creepy. You’re adorable.”
“I’m a mess,”
“Well, an adorable mess at least.”
“You’re not helping,” Keylieth shrieked and threw her pencil at him.
“I will look aside that assault if you help with my projects later tonight.”
“I can definitely do that.”
Keylieth was getting her stuff together, as the door to the café opened and in walked the same girl she had run into earlier, and what must have been her brother, since he looked almost exactly like her, but with his black hair cut short.
“Oh fuck,” Keylieth whispered and tried to bury herself in her books.
“Dear, what is the matter,” Percy said, “Oh, I see. That must be her.”
“Shut up, and don’t stare at her.”
The boy was flirting with Gilmore over the counter, while the girl just leaned against the counter looking around. She caught Keylieth’s eyes, and Keylieth felt like she was going to melt into the ground.
The girl started to saunter over to her, and Keylieth briefly thought about running out of the building.
“Hello Darling, I’m Vex’ahlia,” she purred, and winked again.
This girl is going to kill me
