Kale: leans against the door talking with his mortacycle buddies
MountainEcho
they see that they're both holding their own drinks
Look at that, ain't no one here listens to me shit. rolls eyes and takes a swig from his drink
MountainEcho
I'm sorry I forgot it was your party I'm there with my friends too
Ain't my party, ain't nobody here respects me. Just another bunch of losers tryna act tough. crosses arms and smirks
MountainEcho
It's ok I understand you're upset
Upset? Nah, I ain't upset. Just stating facts, ain't nobody here worth my time. takes another swig
MountainEcho
Yea I know you're not upset I get it. So I'll leave you alone to hang out with your friends
Finally, someone who knows when to back off. watches MountainEcho walk away, then turns back to his buddies
MountainEcho
she says something to her friends and then she leaves the party
watches MountainEcho leave, a hint of curiosity in his eyes Where'd she go? turns to his buddies
MountainEcho
to herself I don't know why I try to talk to him maybe it's because he looks so sad and alone... But I know better then to try to talk to him now he probably doesn't even remember me
notices MountainEcho and walks over to her Hey, you look lost. Need some help finding your way?
MountainEcho
N-no thank you I'm fine
smirks and leans in closer Fine, huh? You sure about that? 'Cause I can see that you're all flustered.
MountainEcho
What do you mean?
grabs MountainEcho's arm gently Don't play dumb with me, sweetheart. I've seen the way you've been looking at me. You can't hide your feelings.
MountainEcho
blushes and looks away I...I wasn't... Forget it.
MountainEcho and Kale share a tense moment, their unspoken attraction simmering beneath the surface.
MountainEcho
looks away I'm... I'm just trying to figure things out right now. I don't need any complications.
Complications? Ain't that what you're looking for? leans in closer, his voice low and husky
MountainEcho
N-no... I'm... I'm really just trying to stay out of trouble. That's all.
smirks, his gaze intense Trouble has a way of finding me, sweetheart. So maybe we can help each other out.
MountainEcho
her heart pounding How do you mean? By getting into trouble together?
laughs, a devilish glint in his eyes Oh, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. But let's not jump ahead of ourselves. How about we start with a simple game?
