Take Me Or Leave Me

Avalon roamed the rec room, looking for someone to strike up a conversation with. She watched Zane stride in and couldn't help but stare. He was the ultimate definition of tall dark and handsome.

"Zane, did you do the homework?" Ava asked he dark haired boy. She couldn't help but smile, he was by far the best looking out of any other guy she knew at the institute.

Zane Halliwel tilted his head. "What homework?" He said, laughing a little.

"Never mind." Ava smiled, admiring his good looks. "How old are you?"

"16." He blushed.

"Oh, you look a lot older." She winked and twirled a strand of her signature amaranth hair around her finger.

"Yeah, I get that a lot." Zane didn't necessarily like her uncalled for advances as much as your average guy would. Ava was pretty and all, she was just so out there. She knew exactly what she wanted and how to get it.

She smiled, "Doesn't surprise me."

"Hey." A voice called.

Zane gestured to behind Ava awkwardly.

"Seth." She smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist.

He pushed her off. "What are you doing?"

Ava could see confusion, hurt and then even some anger in his green eyes. "We're just talking, Seth." She rolled her eyes.

"I have to go." Zane bailed out early, leaving the couple relatively alone.

"This is just like last week." Seth scoffed. "When that older guy was flirting with you."

"There will always be older guys flirting with me." Ava stated.

"Come on." He scoffed. "You're a flirt and a tease." He was starting to fell less like he used to about her every minute.

Ava's face then turned from tan, to pink, and to beet red in a matter of seconds. Her fists baled up and the only thing that kept her from striking him with a bolt of lightning was remembering the exercises she had done with Storm on power-control.

"Fine then." She tried to compose herself. "See you around."

"Not likely."
