Dorian DeLoughrey
“Dorian, wait.”
As he turned away from her, ready to walk away and go on with his day like this never happened, her voice immediately made him stop. But he didn’t dare look at her again, until she… asked him to skip? It actually took him a couple of seconds to comprehend what she said. Skip first period? With the Delilah? This wasn’t how he thought their conversation would end. She was supposed to continue pretending nothing happened and he was supposed to just walk away… without her.
“And miss science?” Jokingly putting on a frown, he finally turned to face her again. Now he was the one not being sure of her intentions, but he was pleasantly surprised… Which didn’t stop him from trying to read her actions. Trying to understand where she was going with the question, what she could possibly gain from it. But maybe he just wanted to believe she was being as genuine as he was, so with a soft smile, he simply nodded. “Can’t say no to that. Come on then,” waiting for her to move so he doesn’t end up looking like a fool if she ended up not following him, he kept a smile on his face trying to cover his confusion of the situation even if he was the one being nice in the first place. But what was he supposed to do now, go, with her, where? “How fun. Just two friends skipping first period,” mumbling more to himself as they started walking towards the door, he could notice the looks they were getting from others around them, but since when is he the one that cares about that? “Do you want to make it two? I have English later and I’m not feeling like it,” chuckling, he looked at her with a pleading look, now holding the door open for her. “And have you ever played pool? Because I think that’s where we’re going.”
