Snippet #2647368

"If I said what I really feel I'm pretty sure I would be removed from the restaurant."

Rebecca cackled and shook her head. "Pump your breaks, man. It's not that bigga deal." The tension growing in the air didn't go unnoticed by the girl though and she was pretty sure this was going to go somewhere she hadn't fully anticipated. He sounded so angry and she had just meant to make him jealous. She took a sip of her soda, narrowing her eyes on his over the brim of the cup.

"Thought you didn't do relationships anyway. So that doesn't even matter in context to yourself."
"I guess that's why you are annoying as fuck. Nobody to scare off."

And there it was. "No one was talking about those types relationships and you don't seem to mind me when I'm sucking your dick, but hey that's not my business." Rebecca retorted with an eye roll and while she acted like she couldn't give less of a fuck, she'd be lying if she said his words didn't sting like Hell. Still though, she didn't shrink away. It was as though she had squared her shoulders up even more, challenging him to go off again. As if she were saying 'Go ahead, prove my point.' She wasn't sure what point he'd be proving; that people weren't worth keeping around or if relationships weren't worth the trouble. Maybe both.

"How is your food? It sure looks nice."

Elisa took a small bite of her food and smiled at Beck, as though nothing at all were wrong. "It's great, wanna try?" She said, slightly more chipper than normal as she put more food on her fork and offered it to her clearly worried boyfriend. She wished he would stop paying attention, most people didn't notice if they didn't pay close attention because the motions looked normal. If you weren't watching her plate, nothing would seem out of the ordinary. She cut her food, she picked it up to eat it, she offered it to people who said it looked good...Who would question that, unless they were paying attention to the fact that she rarely took a bite herself? It was the reason she had avoided eating in front of Beck so many times.

When they were just friends at school, who met in the hallways...it had been so much easier. She could 'forget her lunch' and he had always been too distracted to care. She thought back to the school and how funny their friendship had been at first. Back then she was just a quiet girl who read way too many books and wore sweaters in the summer. He was just a flirt who threw his fists around too much. It felt like years ago and not just months.

How could so much change? She felt like an entirely different person than she had been all the time ago, but it wasn't for the better. She was falling apart and she couldn't help but feel selfish for having Beck hold her together.

Elisa shook the thoughts from her head and turned her attention to the awkwardness that had evolved in front of her with Bex and Leon, while Millie happily ate away at her food. Though she had a hard time believing the other girl could entirely ignore it. "So...uh...Millie this place is like super cute, right? It's so lucky she found it, huh Beck?" She said, though she wasn't entirely comfortable conversing with the red head, she thought it might dissolve some of the weird tension.
