That Awkward Moment when you convince the boys in your math class you're cussing them out in Japanese, even though you're just saying, "Shut up, idiot boys."
Got Awkward?
Situation
Chapter 52: Girl's Night Part 1
"Let's see, I got my toothbrush, change of clothes, sleeping bag, iPod for music, Kanda…wait, Kanda?!" I ask as I stare at my boyfriend snooping through my bag.
"Where are you going?" he asked, attempting to turn on my music device. Snatching it away and putting back in my bag, I answer, "I'm spending the night at Lenalee's with Foxy and Fou."
Lying back on the bed, the bluenette closes his eyes and mutters, "Why?"
"I'm social and I actually have friends. Why don't you ever spend the night with Marie?"
"You really think I go to sleepovers?"
"Why not?"
"It's girly, and I don't like being with other humans. Besides, he's got Miranda with him half the time."
"They're dating now?" I ask, surprised, and I zip up my suitcase. Nodding, he asks, "Are you really that surprised?"
"I guess not, but Lenalee, Foxy, and I all are taking time away from our boyfriends to have a girls' night."
"When did Foxy get a boyfriend?"
"I don't know when or who it is, but I know he's in the Science Division,"
Grunting in reply, he says nothing more, but it's obvious he's displeased with my leaving. It was close to six, and if I didn't leave now, I was going to be late, so after swinging my bag over my shoulder, I lean down and give Kanda a quick kiss on the lips. As I close the door, I inform, "I'll meet you at lunch tomorrow. Don't miss me too much, 'kay?"
"Whatever," he grumbles.
oO_Oo_oO_Oo
"Finally!" Foxy exclaims as she opens the door, green eyes sparkling with excitement. "We've been waiting for you for, like, forever!"
"Well, I'm here now. Kanda wasn't very happy about it, though," I laugh, setting my bag down next to a black one that I assume is Fou's and a pink and purple tiger striped one that had to be Foxy's. There were three sleeping bags in the floor, making what looked like a clover, and I quickly take out mine and spread it out in the empty space, unzipping it so I could spread out. Smiling, Lenalee says, "Yeah, Lavi wasn't happy about it either, but then he asked if I could get a picture of Fou and Foxy making-out."
"Gross!" the mentioned girls exclaim in unison, glancing at each other. Foxy adds, "I may be bi, but that doesn't mean I want to make-out with everyone I see!"
"Exactly, but I wouldn't have thought you liked girls, too," I say, propping myself up on crossed arms and kicking my legs in the air behind me.
"Yep, but I don't like you guys like that," the ravenette explained, glancing at Lenalee and Fou, and they nod. After a moment, Lenalee looked at Foxy to her right, "I wanted to wait until Allen got here to ask, but now I want to know: who are you dating?"
Foxy blushes, "A little cutie in the Science Division named Johnny."
"Johnny?!" the three of us shout, eyes widen and voices full of astonishment. Nodding, she rolls her eyes, "Yes, Johnny with the glasses. He has kissing disabilities, but he's learning, and he's so sweet. Yesterday, he made tin foil roses for me since he couldn't get real ones."
Lenalee, Fou, and I were obviously having problems processing this new information, considering that we were gaping at Foxy as we thought about the nerd and the former toy store owner dating. Nope, still can't get an image of it.
"So, Fou, who are you crushing on? Anyone we know?" Lenalee asked the humanoid to her left.
"Well, I think that…cute," she answers with her head down, her words too soft to hear. Prodding her shoulder, I ask, "Who?"
Blushing furiously, she repeats louder, "Chaoji."
"Aw, I think that's cute! You should ask him out," Foxy says, hopping up and skipping to her bag, and she begins rummaging through it.
"Ask him out?!" Fou exclaims, her not-so-tough side showing.
"Yes, with the help of Tiffany Dime," the emerald eyed girl says, bringing two books back to the circle, one reading: "Best Games for Teen Girls".
Curiously, I ask, "What are they about?"
Foxy tosses the smaller one that I couldn't see to Fou, "Read this. Follow the steps. Ask out Chaoji."
Seeming uncertain, the humanoid reads the back, and Foxy answers, "A collection of games we can play. They're all awesome!"
"Sounds good, what first?" Lenalee asks as Foxy opens it.
"Absolute Truth," she replies, and reads the instructions, "For this game, you will need at least three people. Form a circle and go around clockwise asking questions. No lying. The reader goes first."
The game sounded interesting, and I say, "Okay, what's the first question?"
Laughing slightly, she reads, "Are you a virgin, and if not, who'd you lose your virginity to?"
"No offense, but you are not a virgin," Fou giggles, the book Foxy had given her by her side. Nodding, the game's first victim answers, "Well, I lost it to a girl named Valerie something-or-other. Let's see, I think I was eighteen."
Eyes widening, I ask, "Wait, how old are you?"
"Twenty-six," Foxy says.
"Wow, you're older than all of us," Lenalee summarizes. Shaking her head, Fou corrects, "I'm two-hundred and thirty-one."
"Never mind," Komui's sister dismisses, waving her hand as Foxy reads the next question, "Lenalee, who is the hottest guy you've ever seen?"
Tapping her chin, she asks, "Do anime characters count?"
Foxy shrugs, and Lenalee continues, "Definitely Naru from Ghost Hunt."
"You're right, he's downright edible," I agree, getting a weird look from Fou most likely due to my odd wording.
"Anyways, Fou, do you think tattoos and piercings are sexy?" Foxy continues. Tilting her head back and forth, Fou answers, "It depends. It is if it's like Lavi or Kanda, but I don't like guys that have facial piercings or tattoos all over their bodies."
"Agreed," the rest of us say in unison. Running her finger down the page, Foxy asks, "Lastly, Allen, do you…well, this is a stupid question. Long hair or not?"
Rolling my eyes, I respond, "Long hair, obviously."
"Okay, what next?" Lenalee asks, excitedly kicking her feet.
Clearing her throat, Foxy reads the directions, "Makeovers. Pair up with the person across from you. Then, you must do their makeup in five minutes. Whoever has the best makeover wins."
"Allen's doing my makeup!" Lenalee announces like she won the lottery. "If a girl's face was a canvas, Bob Ross would be jealous."
With that, she darts into the bathroom, and as Fou and Foxy raise their eyebrows at me, there are clangs and clanks heard from the lavatory, followed by the pig-tailed girl prancing back into the main room, arms overflowing with cosmetics. Then, she sets a random stopwatch she pulled from her nightstand for five minutes, and there's a quick battle for the makeup between Foxy and I before we run back to our people.
Quickly, I go over Lenalee's face with powder, not that she needs much, and then switch to her blush. After that, I snag some tape from the pile, applying it out from the corner of her eyes, "You knew I'd need this, didn't you?"
"Maybe…" she giggles innocently, her eyes closed as I carefully dust in the ice blue around her eye duct. The color blends out into black eventually, making a beautiful smoky eye with a sharp wing from the tape, and I add light eyeliner, flicking out the end. Heavy mascara goes on next, and I just barely get the peach-colored lip gloss on before the timer goes off.
Fou looked stunning, her eyes a dark purple, and she looked punk-rock, which I think was great to match her character. Though, I didn't expect Foxy to whine, "How was I beat by a guy?!"
"We don't know that yet. Who's someone who will tell the truth and not really care?" Lenalee asks, glancing at us.
In unison, we decide, "Kanda."
"He can't know which one Allen did though," Foxy says. "We just knock and ask him who he thinks is prettier."
As we walk toward my room, I say, "That's if he doesn't just shut the door on us."
"Kanda, open up!" I tell the door a minute later, knocking. An irritated voice replies, "You have a key, moron."
"I also have three girls with me," I say back, the door opening after a few moments. Kanda leaned against the doorframe, shirtless and wearing low jeans, and I nearly drool at how sexy he looked like that, his hair half-falling over his shoulder.
Scowling, he mutters, "What?"
"We need you to judge who's prettier: Fou or Lenalee," Foxy explains, pushing the girls forward.
"And you can't play favorites because of relationships," Lenalee adds. Smirking, he says, "So you think I'm going to choose Lenalee just because my Moyashi did her makeup?"
"Not a moyashi," I mumble.
"You don't know that," Foxy objects. Rolling his eyes, Kanda says, "Yes, I do. I've seen him do her makeup before and it was like that somewhat. It's his style with anything."
Happy that he pays that much attention to me, I say, "Just tell us straight who's prettier, Kandy."
"Che, Lenalee," he grumbles, moving to close the door, but I stop him, standing on my tiptoes to give him a kiss. Immediately he responds, nipping at my bottom lip, and I open my mouth willingly, running my hands over his muscled chest and abs. The wolf whistle behind me reminds me that we have an audience, so I pull away unhappily. The lack of oxygen helped, too.
Three minutes later, Foxy reads, "Next, Ultimate Dare. Each player must do the dare, no exceptions. Reader goes first.
"Go into a place full of people wearing nothing but a sheet, and ask a random person if he or she is sexy and he or she knows it."
Laughing, Lenalee goes into her closet and tosses a black sheet to Foxy, who was already in her underwear, and the ravenette says, "Weak, I've done much better dares."
As we peer into the cafeteria, Foxy asks, "Who should I ask?"
My eyes scan the packed cafeteria, and my eyes land on Reever who was eating with Komui and two finders I didn't know. Glancing at Lenalee, I notice that she has an evil glint in her eyes as she stares at her brother and Reever and she says, "Say it to Reever, but touch on him a little. I'm getting revenge on Brother."
"You got it," Foxy laughs before she struts into the dining room, the area immediately quieting into a near silence except for a few hushed whispers. Coming up to Reever, Foxy runs a hand over his shoulder and asks seductively, "Hey, Hottie. Are you sexy and you know it?"
The blonde looked utterly confused, but replied, "Um, I guess, sure."
At this point, Komui was literally death glaring Foxy as she giggled and moved her hand to Reever's cheek, and she smiled, skimming her thumb over his lips. Closing in on him, she says, "I can tell. Do you want me to help you…gain confidence?"
"Back off, chick! He's mine!" Komui finally shouts, jumping up from his seat and smacking away Foxy's hand from Reever. Looking like Aphrodite, Foxy puts her hands on her hips and dares, "Prove it."
My eyes will never un-see the image of Komui straddling Reever and making-out with him. As Foxy slips back into her jeans and tank top, she mutters, "I feel like a ho. How old is he anyways?"
"Late twenties, I think, so it's not that bad. Besides, I'm going to have an interesting conversation with Brother tomorrow," Lenalee says.
"Anyways, Lenalee, you must say something random every time someone says a color," Foxy reads, laughing. Joining in, I comment, "Foxy, I love your black top."
"This is Sparta!" Lenalee announced before laughing her head off.
"Next, Fou, you have to tickle someone," Foxy continues, giving the book a weirded out look. Raising an eyebrow, the humanoid asks, "Anyone?"
Foxy nods, and suddenly, Fou leaps on Lenalee, wiggling her transformed fingers under the pig-tailed girl's arms, and Lenalee started laughing like a mad person, her eyes wide as she fought for freedom from the torture. Amused, I say, "Red."
"Nezumi is sexy!"
"Blue," Foxy added.
"Fou is about to be decapitated by my Dark Boots!"
"White."
"My name is Lenalee Lee!"
"Yellow."
"I haven't showered in over a week!"
Fou jumps back, "Ew!"
Breathing heavily, Lenalee panted, "That was…a lie. I showered…a few hours…ago."
After laughing, Foxy changes the subject, "Allen, you must sing the chorus of any song to an inanimate object."
"I shall sing to this white pillow," I state, snagging said pillow off Lenalee's bed as its owner says, "Komui just made out with Reever."
A moment later, she repeats, "Oh my gosh, Komui just made out with Reever!"
Taking a breath, I look at the pillow and sing, "Tonight, I'm feeling like an astronaut, sending S.O.S. from this tiny box. And I lost all signal when I lifted off, now, I'm stuck out here and the world forgot. Can I please come down? 'Cause I'm tired of drifting around and 'round."
"Haha, you looked so stupid doing that!" Lenalee laughed.
"Green," I mutter, and she says, "Allstate, are you in good hands?"
"Next game, Most Embarrassing... Go around the circle and tell your story after being told the next words. Reader goes first. What is the most embarrassing thing you've said on a date?" Foxy reads.
After a second, she answers, "One time, I was on a date with this guy I really liked, and I was telling him about harpies and I accidently said that I had herpes."
"Oh gosh, what did he do?" I ask, trying to hold in my laughter.
"Well, I explained and from then on, every time we were together he brought up harpies," she said, grimacing.
"Poor Foxy," Lenalee said, giggling. The ravenette read, "Lenalee, what is the most embarrassing thing you've done in front of your current boyfriend?"
Tapping her chin, Komui's sister replied, "Well, once, we were just hanging out and talking, and I farted."
Everyone broke out laughing, and I giggle, "I don't even want to think what would happen if I did that in front of Kanda!"
"Luckily for me, Lavi just laughed and told a story about when he'd done the same thing in the middle of some conference thing for Bookmen," she said.
Foxy ran her finger down the page and says, "Fou, what's the most embarrassing thing you've told your boss?"
"Boss? You mean like Bak?" the honey-eyed girl asked. Foxy nods, and Fou continues, "Um, once I told him that Allen looked really sexy in his blue, half muscle shirt."
"Chris Daughtry has eyebrow issues," Lenalee says.
Raising my eyebrow, I ask, "Really? You thought I was sexy?"
"I still do, but I also think Lavi, Kanda, Chaoji, and Komui are sexy, too," Fou says.
"Why do I get the double whammy?" Lenalee whined, probably scarred for life after hearing her friend say that her brother's sexy. Now that I think about it, I think that scarred me, too. Ignoring the weird faces Lenalee and I were making, Foxy continues, "Allen, what is the most embarrassing thing you've told your boyfriend as a compliment?"
"There are many," I say. "Though, I think the worst was when I told him he tasted like mitarashi dango when he sweats. Yeah, he was really confused for a while."
"Really, Twinkle?" Lenalee asked, smacking her forehead with one of her hands. Shrugging, I say, "I was also really hungry at the time."
Nodding, the pig-tailed girl laughed, "That makes a lot more sense now."
