(c) “ and uh ... you know, being ... into women? just ... rumors, and speculation. I mean uh ... if you were, I wouldn't mind. I don't judge people. ”

She was trying so hard to force eye contact.

[𝖙ʰᵉ 𝐟𝖎ꪀa𝑙 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇. 𑁤 @WlLLTOLIVE]

Laurie would bite this time, holding tightly onto her purse as if clutching for her own life.

“ just a thing or two about you ... being easy? um ... you know. ”

Might as well let this drag out to the end, right? She already started speaking, no need to stop now. (C)

[- 𝙍𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙡. @M0RTICIANBIZ]

the silence take over and gives herself an easy excuse to leave. That’s what she’s good at.

Instead, she stays.

Her fingers tighten slightly around the spine of her book before she shifts her weight against the shelf.

„I’m not gonna bite, Laurie.”

@rottedpcst Laurie! 😳

[𝖙ʰᵉ 𝐟𝖎ꪀa𝑙 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇. 𑁤 @WlLLTOLIVE]

@rottedpcst mind explaining to me what you're thinking...

[𝖙ʰᵉ 𝐟𝖎ꪀa𝑙 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇. 𑁤 @WlLLTOLIVE]

(c) another bullet to the foot.

[𝖙ʰᵉ 𝐟𝖎ꪀa𝑙 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇. 𑁤 @WlLLTOLIVE]

She was being vague, still confined to the shell she found herself most comfortable in.

“ oh, nothing much. ”

she adds, very clearly being untruthful. Laurie wasn't a popular girl by any means, so people's lips tend to be a little loose around her, knowing she wouldn't say (c)

[- 𝙍𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙡. @M0RTICIANBIZ]

she’s trying to coax Laurie back out of whatever she just vanished into.

[𝖙ʰᵉ 𝐟𝖎ꪀa𝑙 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇. 𑁤 @WlLLTOLIVE]

(c) or do much of anything. instead, she just shrugged, tightly holding onto her purse as if the conversation had fleeted. she didn't want it to, she found Rachel quite enthralling. unfortunately ... she didn't really know what else to say, a means to avoid (c)

[𝖙ʰᵉ 𝐟𝖎ꪀa𝑙 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇. 𑁤 @WlLLTOLIVE]

(c) a reputation for being a bit of a hothead, glad to see that not everything you hear is true, right?”

Uh oh. Had she overshared? Time to return to her shell, head sinking, folding loose strands of hair behind her ear and killing any and all eye contact. Damn it.

[𝖙ʰᵉ 𝐟𝖎ꪀa𝑙 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇. 𑁤 @WlLLTOLIVE]

Oh, wow. It seems she has impeccable taste. Her wardrobe and aesthetic might not fit Laurie ... but her taste in literature was certainly an anomaly. All she could do was keep that smile ear to ear, even letting out a tiny giggle from her soft lips.

“ wow ... you had (c)

[- 𝙍𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙡. @M0RTICIANBIZ]

you’re reading than what I’m reading.”

Though she (does) enjoy the book in her hands.

[𝖙ʰᵉ 𝐟𝖎ꪀa𝑙 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇. 𑁤 @WlLLTOLIVE]

(c) nature and demeanor should shoe that this isn't a situation she finds herself in everyday.

“ what are you reading? ”

she asks with a toothy grin.

[𝖙ʰᵉ 𝐟𝖎ꪀa𝑙 𝙂𝙄𝙍𝙇. 𑁤 @WlLLTOLIVE]

Laurie's face brightened a shade of red, like a kid who was embarrassed by their parents in a grocery store. Someone actually asking about a book she was reading? Unheard of!

“ I haven't gotten that far into it ... so, I can't say for sure, but I'm hooked. ”

Her giddy (c)

rest of the world?”

She tilts her head, studying her a bit.
