Battlescar13: Same.
Want to battle?
I could use some more practice before the final this weekend.
CurrerBfighting: Heck yes!
You’re gonna do so awesome.
Battlescar13: Honestly, I’m just gunning for second.
We both know you’ll take first.
I smiled to myself, picturing Carl handing me the trophy while Michael stood nearby, his face tomato red with envy. What a beautiful image.
CurrerBfighting: Whatever happens, happens.
But I do hope we’re both in the top two.
As Gabriel set up the battle ring for us, my gaze darted back up to the drawing. I wished I could ask him about that. What did it mean? Was that how he saw me? As some kind of Wonder Woman? I didn’t hate it. Not at all. But CurrerBfighting wouldn’t know about that drawing. If I mentioned it, Gabriel would immediately become suspicious. There had to be another way. I hesitated for a moment, an idea playing in my head, but typed the words out before I could stop myself.
CurrerBfighting: What happened to that girl from the other night?
The one that ran away?
There was a long wait between when Gabriel got the fight set up and when he finally answered. Each second was agony.
Battlescar13: We’ve got a study date for tomorrow night.
My heart sped up a little at the sight of his message. He called it a date! A study date, but still, at least he hadn’t permanently shoved me into the friend zone after our last disaster of a study date.
CurrerBfighting: See? I told you she just needed time.
Just play it cool.
Battlescar13: I’m not sure I know how to play it cool around this girl.
Any tips?
I wrinkled up my nose. I was pretty sure Gabriel Corrigan didn’t need any tips from me or anyone else on how to play it cool. He was as solid as a block of ice. And he had far more experience dating than I did. I was the one who lost her chill around him. If anyone needed tips, it was me. Still, I had a part to play online and Gabriel had asked me a question.
CurrerBfighting: Just be you.
That’ll sweep her off her feet.
Battlescar13: I don’t think this girl is the type to get swept off her feet.
She’s pretty invincible.
A proud smile played on my lips and again, my gaze shot to the drawing. I liked how he described me. It made me feel seen.
CurrerBfighting: You know, even an invincible girl can fall for the right guy.
Battlescar13: I hope you’re right.
You’re pretty good at this.
I always feel better after talking to you.
