"Freya Will you just slow down you know I can't keep up with you!" I can just about hear Lukas shout from behind me. We were on our daily jog that was exhilarating break from reality for me but more of a chore for him.
"Are you even running dude?" I call back behind me to tease him. "Cause to me it looks like you are just kinda speed walking," I can see him from the corner of my eye stop beside a bench with an old lady sat on it. To be fair to him it is excruciating heat and even me, One of the most seasoned runners, although I would hate to admit it to him, I'm struggling.
I jog back to him and offer him some of my water.
"I don't want it if your gunna talk to me like that," he exclaims deadly serious. Even though I am trying with all my might not to laugh, a little chuckle still escapes from me. He couldn't be serious even if he tried. Its not his personality. When he looks up at me a grin is on his face. He reaches out and takes the bottle from my hand.
"Knowing you, you will have laced it with poison or something," the old lady sat on the bench gives me a funny look and gets up to move. I glare at Lukas mockingly.
"Look at this, last week scaring the children away by shouting at them and now the old Ladies. Nobody in Town is safe when your about!"
"Those kids deserved it laughing at my shorts!," Last week I had to go home early from laughing so much at the sight of Lukas in tight running shorts shouting his head off at children who were still giggling at him, not intimidated in the slightest. I smiled so much my face begun to ache.
"Anyway, where is this drink you promised me?" Lukas asked, no doubt trying to change the subject.
To save his embarrassment I reply "We can go now if you want?".
"I need to go home to get changed first, I don't want to stink the whole place out," he laughed putting his glasses on.
"Okay but you will do that anyway," I reply with a wink "See you there in about half an hour,"
After my power walk home and a very awkward chat with my next door neighbor about local politics in my flat blocks drab hallway, I finally open the door to my much more uplifting flats doorway. I Pick up the letters that have been delivered and put them on the counter top. I quickly get in the shower and come out smelling of strawberry. I don't have much time so just blast my hair with the hairdryer for a bit, even though I know it will be difficult to contain the curls. I put my blonde hair into a pony tail and add a bit of make up. I don't fancy Lukas but I still want to look nice for him. He was there when nobody else was. He didn't run away when I told him about my gift. Changing emotions. Understandably, most people want nothing to do with me after they find out. I don't use them. It would feel sick and twisted. It wouldn't work out between us anyway. I was a savant, he was not.
After I put on a pair of jeans and my grey crop top, I grab the letters from the pile. I flick through them just like normal, boring bills and promotional offers, until I see it, The seal on the envelop that sends dread shooting through my in waves. I instantly drop the letter to the ground like it has burnt me, well perhaps it has, emotionally.
