13 years old - 4 fours later
Garnet was stretching on the provided mats in the gym, Jason besides her, twisting his body in unnatural ways. The redhead raised a brow at him.
"Trying to turn yourself into a human pretzel?" She teased, but she was doing the same thing with more ease. Jason grunted and unwound himself.
"No. That would Dick. It's fucking creepy the ways he can bend." Jason huffed and watch as Garnet pouted, crossing her arms as she stood up. She leaned on his shoulder, and grinned wickedly at him.
"Such a shame. I love eating pretzels. Especially the hard ones." It was the gleam in her eye and tone of her voice that made Jason suppress a shiver and a blush. Instead he grinned back, placing an arm around her waist.
"Really? Then I'll have to get you some later on. Won't I?" Garnet didn't reply, only grinned wider, before she twisted out of his hold and went back to stretching. It was testing day. And Jason was excited, except Bruce's warning flashed in his mind. Causing it to kill his buzz as he went back to stretching with Garnet.
Don't go all out. Can't let anyone else know that you're Robin.
Jason tsked as he stretched out his shoulders. Whatever, he'll still get the best scores in the class, even if he holds back. Jason glanced down at the smiling Garnet and paused. She would be the competition for the high score. He frowned a little as he continued to watch her discretely as he stretched.
"Is there something on me?" Garnet suddenly asks, meeting his eyes a small smirk on her face. Busted. Jason looked away with a huff, Garnet rolled her eyes as she rolled her shoulders. Garnet giggles at him and Jason pouts - sorry 'frowns' - at her.
Mean while in a different corner, Ambrosia and her Jason followers seethed. Ambrosia ground her teeth together as Garnet - that whore - was shamelessly flirting with her Jason. And why was he paying attention to that ugly bitch, when he should be paying attention to a real beauty like herself.
Besides what was happening with Garnet avoiding Jason - she means who would want to avoid him - at then Ambrosia was able to get his eyes on her. It wasn't fair, that he so easily doted on Garnet, but not her.
Ambrosia outright glared at Garnet. Who glanced at her, grinned and stalked over to her. Her feline amber eyes trained solely on her. Ambrosia swallowed a little, but stood her ground. Jason watched with bemused eyes as Garnet suddenly leave his side and go over to Ambrosia.
Garnet stopped in front of Ambrosia as she stood up.
"Can I help you with something?" Ambrosia snottily asked, sticking her nose in the air. Garnet rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hips.
"It's actually the other way round, sweetness. You've been looking at me, since the day I got here." Garnet leaned in close to Ambrosia, causing her to look away, a blush on her cheeks from the confident smirk on Garnet's lips. "So is there something I can do for you?" Garnet inquired and Ambrosia swallowed, her dark eyes shying away from Garnet's molten gold gaze.
But then she remembered her purpose and she straightened her back, meeting her rival head on. Though she looked like a cat, who was just toying with her. Ambrosia glared fiercely at Garnet's cool confident smirk.
"Yea y-you could stay away from Jason..." Ambrosia trailed off when Garnet took a piece of her hair and played with it. The slightly shorter stared incredulously at the redhead. Garnet's smirk melted into a knowing smile. A twinkle in her eyes. Ambrosia felt weak in the knees at the intensity and weight of Garnet's all knowing and angered eyes.
"Listen sweetness, that will not be happening, unless I'm killed, or he's killed. We're playing a game together, that you have no idea exists. So why don't you keep that pretty little button nose out our business." Garnet leaned even closer, and Ambrosia both melted and froze. "It would be such a shame if you got hurt." Ambrosia shivered at the underlying threat.
Garnet pulled away from Ambrosia and was walking back to Jason when the teacher came back into the West Gym. Garnet laughed when Jason asked her what she said to Ambrosia, because as Garnet had left her, she had crumpled down to her knees, staring at Garnet's retreating figure.
"Don't worry about it babe. Just finally dealt with something, I should've dealt with a while ago." Was Garnet's answer and Jason opened his mouth to question her further, when the PE teacher called his name for testing. Jason sent Garnet a look that said 'this isn't over' and left with the teacher.
Garnet just smiled and ignored everything around her as she continued to stretch. Though she did keep an eye on her victim as she slowly recovered from Garnet so thoroughly toying with her.
Garnet smirked a little, it was so easy to do. Maybe she should do it more often.
