Lola Reyes the Mortal Hmmm...what do I want to wear to the Halloween party? Maybe...be Catwoman? Nah, everyone's going to be a superhero. Good ol' fashion zombie? Ehhh they're not as popular as they used to be. I should wear something that would impress Serina. Or, maybe I can coordinate something with her? After, y'know, asking her out to the party? As I stare at Serina dreamily thinking of the possibilities to solve my conundrum, I see Sam Whatshisface going up to her to chat. It's no secret that he's into her, and I can distinctly hear the words "go" and "party" and "with me" come out of his mouth. BULLSHIT that's going to happen on my watch. Without so much as a plan or thought I get out of my chair and rush over and sharply stand right next to Sam, nearly elbowing him out of the way. "Hi Serina!" I say cheerfully, fighting through my nerves and the blush I'm sure is growing on my face to flash her a smile. "Hey um y'know I was trying to figure out what to wear for a halloween costume and figured since you've been here for so long and y'know you have a great sense of style and you're pretty and I'm kinda new at this uh maybe you can help me find a costume?" I then bite my bottom lip coyly, a half rear end attempt to appear cute and seductive and to keep my mouth for rambling any further. quote:turn on Serina quote:Name: Lola Reyes

Lola Reyes the Mortal Hot 2 | Cold -1 | Volatile 1 | Dark -1 | Harm 0 | Exp 0 | Conditions: None | Location: Homeroom I could feel the redness on my face spreading even further as I look back and forth between Serina and Sam. My plan was to stop Sam from asking out Serina to the party so I can ask her out instead, and now Serina's asking me to ask Sam out and granted he is kind of cute but that really wasn't what I had in mind and oh god what do I do?! "I...uh..." Okay okay, I'm just going with him to the party. It doesn't mean anything. God knows he needs the confidence boost (and maybe I do too). Besides, I'm seeing Serina later about my costume so I can totally change her mind about this or I can think of another way around it... "S-sure! Let's give Sam here a chance!" quote:Promising to be Sam's date for the party. I give Sam a playful nudge with my elbow. Admittedly, committing to the idea takes some of the anxiety off. I flash a semi-forced smile at him and give him a wink. He is cute...I'm sure he feels the same way about me, right? quote:turn on Sam

Lola Reyes the Mortal Hot 2 | Cold -1 | Volatile 1 | Dark -1 | Harm 0 | Exp 1 | Conditions: None | Location: Homeroom quote:+1 Exp for failing previous roll Ow. Well...I mean...I only showed any interest because Serina asked me too. I was just doing it for her. So really it's his loss if he doesn't want to go on a date with me and blow his chance to go out with Serina. Whatever. I tried. gently caress him. I felt a sudden coldness build up inside of me, barely aware that I was clenching my fists. "Oh wow. Okay, that's cool. Y'know I only said that because of Serina right? I guess you'll just have to go to the party on your own, Sam." At that I lean over and put my hands on Serina's desk, further nudging Sam to the side and basically cutting him off. My initial shyness with Serina seemed to have dissipated entirely with my anger towards Sam. "ANYWAY...maybe when we go pick out a costume for me we can try to match with one another. Y'know...as a couple? Going to the party together?" quote:shut down Sam quote:gently caress you Sam.

Lola Reyes the Mortal Hot 2 | Cold -1 | Volatile 1 | Dark -1 | Harm 0 | Exp 1 | Conditions: None | Location: Homeroom We'll see... Sounds a little noncommittal. Not quite a no. Not quite a yes, either. And no sooner did Serina say that she started looking around the room, her attention diverted elsewhere. I mean I'm not an idiot. I get the hint and stand back up and head back to my desk. "Yeah...um...I guess I'll see you after class." My butt barely slid into the chair when she calls out to Jake and started asking questions about vampires. Like...really?! Why? Why stop paying attention to me and give it to that giant dork? Did I do something wrong? Some old familiar feelings start to rise from the pit of my stomach. My eyes start to itch and get watery. I feel myself needing to shut down again. I fish out my earbuds from my phone and put them in. I close my eyes and blindly hit play on some random song on my phone, losing myself into the music and isolating myself from the world if only for a short while. I think about the car wreck, where Serina was helpless and desperate. I think about Serina now, in class, pairing me up with Sam Whatever like it was a game. She was no longer vulnerable like before. God, I saved her life...that should make me more important to her, right?

Lola Reyes the Mortal Hot 2 | Cold -1 | Volatile 1 | Dark -1 | Harm 0 | Exp 1 | Conditions: None | Location: Homeroom Cause I'm not going anywhere... As the last words from the song play out I open my eyes and look over to see a bashful Jake bumbling his way through a conversation with Serina, who appears to be listening with interest. Feigned interest, I'm sure. Likely before she starts manipulating Jake into seeing someone else. It's how she keeps people at a distance and from getting too close, y'know? Anyone who shows any interest in her she tricks them into pairing off with someone else, like she tried to do with me and Sam. Like we're toys she acts like doesn't want but really wants instead. It's all because of the car accident, I think. She has PTSD or whatever and she's antisocial because of it and this is how she deals with it. So how do I get her invested in me? Approaching her directly saw some moderate success, but then she immediately tried to hook me up with Sam (gently caress him still, btw). Maybe I just need to relate to her more...maybe I just need to do the same thing she's doing so she knows I'm not some toy for her to play with... I take the earbuds out, and then pull out my phone from my pocket and start swiping randomly through it, pretending it's what I'm concentrating on. But I'm really keeping my ears out for what Jake and Serina are talking about... quote:Excuses Are My Armour

Lola Reyes the Mortal Hot 2 | Cold -1 | Volatile 1 | Dark -1 | Harm 0 | Exp 1 | Conditions: None | Location: Homeroom I listen to the conversation drift from vampires to werewolves, and watch Jake fish out a surprisingly lifelike (and admittedly a little scary) snarling wolf head mask. The pieces fall into place: they are talking about costumes for the party, and Serina is undoubtedly going to try to hook Jake up with someone. But not if I get to him first. "Oh wow that's a badass mask, Jake!" I call out, loudly shuffling my desk an inch or two closer in their direction to show my interest. I give him the best feigned sincere excitement look on my face that I can. "Can I see? I bet you worked really hard on it." quote:turn on Jake

Lola Reyes the Mortal Hot 2 | Cold -1 | Volatile 1 | Dark -1 | Harm 0 | Exp 1 | Conditions: None | Location: Homeroom "Oh absolutely! A second set of hands always helps. Especially since I expect...'elaborate' choices for costumes from Serina." I flash Serina a teasing smile before turning back to Jake. "I'll drive you over to her place after class." Have to admit, the prospect of being alone in the car with Jake is far far FAR from appealing to me. But if I can get him wrapped around my finger before she does...
