Chapter One (#9; Figuring)
She remembers the first time he hit on her.
Her face had remained impassive, but inside a hint of flattered, shocked embarrassment surfaced. She had corrected him, You're flirting with the wrong girl. I'm not Starfire.
He had surprised her with his earnest reply, "I'm flirting with the right girl. I just hit on Alien Chick to piss off Bird Boy and you know it."
She responded with skeptical silence, which- he later confessed to her- frustrated him to no end.
"Listen. If I liked Star I wouldn't be trying to impress you or flirt with you right now. I wouldn't be bothering to try and figure all this out!"
She had asked, figured what out?
"You, me, my feelings for you and your lack of feelings in general." he deadpanned, his frustration coolng momentarily, leasking out as he stepped closer to her.
...feelings are overrated, she had whispered and suddenly he was gone and she felt guilty somehow, like she had hurt him.
That was the day she had begun deciphering him... and what she was afraid he meant to her. She had never told him, but she had named that day, later on, their "Figuring Day." The day it was all sent into motion, where things began attempting to figure themselves out.
She wishes she had told him. He would've found it cute, like everything else she thought. What had she been so afraid of?

So, how do you like it?! I can't trust my own opinion because I'm overly critical of my own writing, but reviews are nice! I'm in the process of writing chapter two. I want at least three reviews before I post it here! ♥-Rhiana Fayette
