“What’s your name?” Second asks. Well, if they won’t answer my questions, I won’t answer theirs. I raise my chin in a show of obstinacy. “I don’t have a name, but I wish I did just so that I could refuse to give it to you,” I snap. Third laughs. “Yep. I was right. I do like her.”
Gods, food is delicious. I want to eat more. I want to eat everything. Gimme all the foods. From now on, it’s food everywhere, all the time, every kind. I want to constantly stuff my face. Screw relationships, I’ll make food my new love. I’ve clearly been misplacing all my fantasies on love and sex. I should’ve just focused my pining on food this whole time.
People wish and the stars try to grant, but even as the stars sacrifice themselves and fall, so many wishes are wasted, just as so much love is lost.
Annnd my love lips just filled with lady lava. He releases my finger and leans back with a triumphantly smug look on his face. Whatever expression he sees on mine makes him chuckle darkly. “Whatever you do to me, I’ll match and raise you, Scratch. Remember that.” Gods, I hope that’s a promise.
“I hate to break it to you, Scratch, but I’m definitely not the sweet one in the covey,” he says with a mischievous glint in his blue eyes. “But if you want to stick with your fruit analogies, I won’t stop you from trying to taste me to see if your theory holds up.”
I am pot stirrer, hear me whisk.
“She can’t even walk without falling, but she can shoot like that?” “Yeah, so don’t piss me off!” I call over my shoulder. There’s silence for a beat, and then, “Well, you’re fucked, Ronak.”
I start to lightly wog. You know, the way you pretend to jog, but it’s really no faster than walking, just bouncier? Yeah, that’s my goal. Fake it. I’m super good at wogging.
Why do people run? It’s awful. Did you know people actually do this for fun? I saw humans do it all the time. There must be something wrong with their brains.” I narrow my eyes at him and gasp. “Oh gods, you run for fun, don’t you?” I ask. “What am I saying, of course you do. That explains why you’re so unhappy all the time.”
“Get your ass over there, demon.” “You know, for someone who quote-unquote ‘hates me’ you sure do talk about my ass a lot.”
I’ll consider not strangling him in his sleep.” “Please, don’t get all sappy on me.”
Ronak could surprise us all and become my new favorite.” Ronak walks by just then. “Nope.” “Don’t fight it. It’s only a matter of time before you want that slot, Ro-Ro.” “Don’t call me that.” “You got it, Ro-Ro.”
“I know every single weapon that I have in here,” he says, frowning at me. “Umm…congratulations?” “Which means, if you take anything, I’ll know it. Don’t even think of betraying us.” “Geez, can’t a girl snoop through a room without being accused of being a backstabbing liar face?”
