Sighing, Ara packed up her textbooks and joined the throng of students pushing their way out of the school. She bumped into someone from behind, and turned to apologize. Standing there was none other than Elesis.
"...Yo," The redhead greeted her casually, giving her a small salute.
Ara muttered back a greeting, before turning and pushing her way through the crowd to hide her rapidly coloring cheeks. She only made her way out of the building before she felt a tight grip on her wrist.
"What was that for?" The voice didn't sound angry, if anything, it sounded slightly annoyed. Ara swiveled around, already knowing the speaker. "I just said hi, and then you go and run off. Look, I'm sorry if what I said before bothered you. It was just a joke, seriously." Elesis continued.
"It's not that." Ara huffed, though in her mind she was unsure of why she was acting so elusive and cold to the redhead.
"Then what is it?" Elesis demanded, sending a serious stare the ebonette's way.
"Uh...I just...Had to get home quickly! Family stuff later, y'know?" Ara said lamely, fidgeting under the other girl's firm gaze.
Elesis eyed her skeptically. "You're lying." Suddenly, an idea seemed to hit her, and an impish smirk made it's way across her lips. "Wait...Don't tell me...You've fallen for me?"
"N-Nope! No way! How did you even get that idea? That's…"
Suddenly, Elesis' face was very very close. A triumphant smirk split her face, and she had an eyebrow raised cockily.
"...Crazy…" Ara finished, feeling heat creeping up on her face. She backed away nervously. A sudden breeze swept up a shower of fall leaves, some entangling in her hair. Elesis leaned in, but not to kiss her, as she fearfully expected. Ara felt nimble fingers brushing through her hair, and looked up to see Elesis plucking out the leaves that had been stuck there. As her hands fell to her sides, she took a step back, realizing that Ara was uncomfortable. The insufferable smirk from earlier had eased into a gentle, easy smile.
"Is it?" The red haired girl tilted her head to the side, her eyes looking up at Ara almost innocently.
What was with this girl? She was haughty one minute, and kind the next. It confused the raven haired girl's mind and heart. Just why did she make her feel this way?
"Well...I think you're pretty...And interesting, I suppose, but who's to say for sure if I've fallen for you? L-Love is a confusing thing..." Oh god, she sounded so awkward.
Elesis raised her hand to her chin, pausing to think for a few seconds. "Then how about we test it?"
"Eh? How do you propose we do that?" Asked a puzzled Ara.
Elesis gave her a toothy grin and spoke without hesitation, "Let's kiss!"
A/N: In which Ara is very ooc. Anyhow, I feel like this is a bit clichéd and predictable. It's like the daring guy and the shy/easily flustered girl. Or prince and princess. I dunno, something like that. ButIdon'twantittobecheesy -sobs-
