Paintball, 1st Period - Monday

[imafuturist]

Did the teachers look especially eager to get going this morning? Yep. Sorry, Arden. "Everyone was very good last week," Steve said, grinning.

"This time we'll be adding in some boobytraps," Tony said brightly. "I think they're pretty ingenious, personally."

Because he built them.

"So, let's get to it," Tony added eagerly.

She'd promised they would, and had meant it. She just needed to get over this stupid crush so the next time weird things happened, he didn't get wrapped up in anything that made him uncomfortable or upset because of her.

"Just be careful," Arden said, her smile a little less anemic looking. "The Dean cheats. It's how he found me. So cheat back faster, okay?"

And, y'know, keep dreaming big.

"I would never cheat," Cal said, putting his hand to his heart. "But they didn't say anything about not using powers, so... we'll see how it goes." Taking a chance, he added, "Stay safe out there, okay?" before taking a step back to give her the space she wanted.

And that space hit her like a brick of air. Her smile shriveled and died, and her shoulders hunched. But it was for the best. It was her problem and she had to fix it and this was the only way she knew how.

"You too, Cal," she said softly. "Best of luck."

And with one more diffident nod, she turned and walked away.

Yep, he definitely felt like a jerk now for pushing too much. He went in the opposite direction and tried to get ready for class.
