A warm, soft glow came from the candle in the room. It was set up like something you’d see in a fancy restaurant. China plates, thick table clothes, and pricey steak.
Maya sat down on the wooden chairs, confused. She wondered why Franziska invited just her. Usually, she’d also invite Miles, Nick, or someone of the sort. Though it was nice, just the two of them.
Franziska wore an expensive, fancy gown. Not something Maya had seen her wear. Franziska had not said a word, awkwardly fidgeting her hair waiting for someone to talk.
“So..uh…did you need to talk about something?” Maya asked, curiously scanning the room, like it would explain anything.
“I wanted to….get to know you better.” The blue haired girl had trouble finding the right words to speak, pausing a second after every word.
“Cool, so how’s your day been.” Maya awkwardly tried to start conversation, and blushed a bit.
“Good. How about you?” Franziska took a bite into the steak, her mannerisms pristine and perfect.
“FRANZY!” Maya pushed her seat back and stood up. “You’re hiding something! I can feel that!”
The blue haired girl awkwardly sat there, quiet as a mouse. “Well I needed to ask you something, but I’m having trouble telling you.” Franziska said in a calm, smooth voice, but she was feeling quite the opposite.
Maya calmed down and sat back in her seat. “You know you can ask me anything right? I’ll always be here for you.” She smiled warmly at Franziska. It reassured her a bit.
“I’ll be right back.” She stood up and walked to her room, walking stiff and weirdly.
Franziska went back to the dinner table, with something in her hand. As she went to Maya, Maya saw a bouquet of flowers in the girl’s hand.
Her eyes sparkled as she saw the flowers. “What are these for?” Maya nervously smiled, thinking that it wouldn’t be possible Franziska of all people would give her a gift.
“Ever since I met you, my life became a lot brighter.” Franziska blushed, and put the flowers in Maya’s hands, then backed away slowly.
“I can’t help but say the same.” The black haired girl admitted, still awkwardly smiling.
“I love you.” After a small pause, Franziska suddenly hugged Maya, refusing to let go. Her eyes got teary eyed, and she started to sov.
“Franzy, don’t cry!” Maya wiped her eyes gently, and pushed her hair out of her face. “I love you too.” She continued to hug Franziska. This was definitely the best dinner any of them ever had.
