Campus Clash
Clash in the stacks
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*sits at a table in the college library, typing away on her laptop*
A guy dropped into the chair across from her, causing her to jump.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Can you please not sneak up on people?
*Irritated*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Where's the fun in that?
*smirking*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
I'm sure your fun meter is always pegged at maximum.
*deadpan*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Actually, it's been a little dull today... until I saw your scowl.
*laughing*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
My scowl is not entertainment for you.
*raising an eyebrow*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Oh, but it's growing on me.
*grinning*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
How thrilling. I'm glad I could upgrade your boring day.
*sarcastically*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Upgrade, downgrade - either way, you're making this library visit interesting.
*chuckling*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
I'm sure the library staff is thrilled to have you disrupting the silence.
*rolling her eyes*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Actually, I think they're just jealous of our... lively conversation.
*leaning in*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Our conversation is lively like a sleeping pill - it'll put everyone to sleep.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Especially me.
*act as yawning*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Ouch, harsh critic. I think you're secretly entertained.
*laughing*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Don't flatter yourself.
*smirking slightly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Too late, I'm already flattered... and intrigued.
*grinning*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Intrigued by what, exactly?
*raising an eyebrow*
Kaius Grey/ ML
By the girl who clearly hates my guts... yet still talks to me.
*leaning back*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Maybe I just need someone to proofread my essays.
*says dryly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Oh man, that's the lamest excuse I've ever heard.
*Laughing*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Atleast it's better than your excuse for sitting here - which is...?
*rolling her eyes*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Observing a masterpiece of sass and beauty.
*grinning*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Save the charm for someone who falls for it.
*rolling her eyes dramatically*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Too late, I'm already charmed... by your ability to annoy me perfectly.
*leaning in closer*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Congratulations, you've reached new levels of ridiculousness.
*claps her hands dramatically*
Kaius Grey/ ML
My life's work is done then.
*triumphantly*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*rolling her eyes*
Kaius Grey/ ML
See you later, Sassy pants.
*grinning mischievously*
Unhealthy Obsession
Lylah walks into her psychology class, scanning the room for an empty seat – her eyes land on a familiar face.
Kaius Grey/ ML
*Catches her gaze, smirking slightly*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
* Walks over to the empty seat beside him, dropping her bag loudly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Sitting next to me. You've finally admitted you're following me, Sassy Pants.
*Smirks, scooting over slightly*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Following you? No, just escaping your fans.
*raises an eyebrow*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Same difference – they all want my attention... but yours is my favorite kind.
*grins*
Professor writes on the board:
Today's Topic:
Attraction vs. Infatuation
Case Studies:
- Unhealthy Obsession
- Mutual Interest
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Think we're about to become a case study.
*Whispers to him, eyes fixed on the board*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Already ahead of the curriculum, Sassy Pants – we're on 'unhealthy obsession' levels.
*whispers, voice low and teasing*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Rolls her eyes, glancing at him briefly before facing front again*
Professor
Attraction vs Infatuation – can anyone tell me the difference?
Professor
*Raises his hand slightly, then points to Lylah*
Professor
You explain – since you're attracting my attention constantly.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Attraction is physical – Infatuation is obsessive... like staring at someone in class.
*smirks*
*Whole Class turns to them*
Professor
Exactly, Miss...?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Lylah Rivers. And he's staring again.
Prpfessor Laughs softly, class laughs louder.
Professor
*Clears throat, continuing lesson*
Professor writes on board again:
Examples of Infatuation:
- Excessive thinking
- Constant staring
- Compulsive desire to interact..
Kaius Grey/ ML
Professor just described my morning thoughts.
*leans in close, whispering*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Your morning thoughts should worry you – mine were about ignoring you.
*whispers back*
Professor
Now, class discussion– discuss infatuation signs with your neighbor.
Kaius Grey/ ML
Perfect assignment – my partner is already infatuating me.
*turns to Lylah with a sly grin*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Only if you want to discuss your obvious symptoms – with your doctor... or me, reluctantly.
*raises an eyebrow*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Reluctant partner preferred – my symptoms worsen around you, Sassy Pants.
*laughs softly, leaning in closer*
Professor
How's discussion going here?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Enlightening, Professor – he admits his symptoms, I'm diagnosing obsession
*smiles sweetly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Doctor Rivers here thinks she's immune – but blushes contradict her diagnosis.
*chuckles*
Professor
Fascinating case study indeed...
*walks away after saying*
Professor
You all will be grouped together with your neighbor for debate on this assignment.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Eyes widen slightly *
Kaius Grey/ ML
Victory – Professor just assigned us together... for debates.
*whispers*
Author
Together here means "on the same topic but one person will speak in favor of it while the other will be against it"
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Temporary victory – I'll still crush you in debates, Football Star.
*Glares at him*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Looking forward to your attempts, Sassy Pants – debates start tomorrow... tonight, want to discuss strategy?
*grins confidently*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
You think I'd study with you – voluntarily?
*raises an eyebrow*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Not study – discuss... over coffee. Again.
*leans in closer, voice low and teasing*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Only if you promise to bring your A-game – and a referee for my eye-rolling.
*smirks*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Referee on standby – coffee shop down street from my dorm... 7 pm work for you?
*laughs loudly, pulling out his phone*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Nods slowly, surprising herself by agreeing*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
7 pm. But don’t think this is a date, Football Star.
*smirks*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Wouldn’t dare think that… yet.
*grins mischievously*
Already missing
Lylah Rivers/ FL
7 pm. But don’t think this is a date, Football Star."
Kaius Grey/ ML
Wouldn’t dare think that… yet.
*grins mischievously*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Rolls her eyes and stands up to leave class*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Save the charm for tomorrow's debate prep – not tonight's coffee.
Kaius Grey/ ML
*Falls into step beside her walking out of classroom*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Too late, already charming my way into your free time tonight.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Reaches her dorm room*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Smiles unconsciously*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Phone buzzes*
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱 Smiling about something, Sassy Pants?
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Maybe already missing me?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*laughs and types back*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Missing your ego – barely fit in my dorm room after you left campus.
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Ego was just making room for thoughts of you – admitting defeat yet?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Defeat would mean I care – your thoughts are just entertainment.
*Types back instantly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Best entertainment I've had – want to make it a live show tonight?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Live show of me ignoring you – sold out crowd already.
*Eyes narrow slightly as she types*
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Crowd would riot if they knew you blinked at my last text – twice.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Blinked because your message was so boring – needed wake up blinks.
*laughs softly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Boring messages get 3 heart rate spikes – just checked my watch... yours spiked.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Watch broken – or showing your own spike?
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Nope, perfectly accurate – like my guess: you're smiling at my texts.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Smiling at how delusional you are – this conversation's entertaining though.
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Entertained enough to meet me in person – coffee shop, 10 mins?"
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Only if you promise to be less annoying in person – unlikely though.
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Unlikely is my middle name – but worth it if you’re sitting across from me.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Bold claim – coffee shop still open in 5 mins.
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Curiosity killed my solo coffee plans – walking there NOW. You coming?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Already grabbing jacket– don’t think this means I’m happy to see you.
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Happy would be overstating– but ‘not entirely annoyed’ is my win already.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱You're really celebrating small victories – door to coffee shop is in front of me.
*laughs softly while typing*
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Perfect timing – I’m standing inside, staring at the door... waiting for you.
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Pushes door open slowly, eyes locking onto his*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
📱Victory dance unnecessary – I’m here. Now stop staring.
Kaius Grey/ ML
📱Too late for that – been staring at your name on my mind all day... then door opens, reality improves.
*Smiles widely, walking towards her*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Reality barely tolerates your existence – yet here I am, talking to you.
*rolls her eyes dramatically, voice low and teasing*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Tolerate is understatement – your eyes sparkled when you saw me. Admit it.
*Chuckles softly, stopping close beside her*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Heart skips beat*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Sparkled with annoyance... or so I'm telling myself.
Kaius Grey/ ML
Save that lie for someone who doesn't see your smile – barely hidden.
*face inches closer, voice low and husky*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Breath catches softly as she looks up at him*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
You're standing really close – testing my annoyance theory.
Kaius Grey/ ML
Annoyance doesn’t make hearts race – yours is racing, Sassy Pants.
*whispers back, lips almost touching air near hers*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Maybe it's racing because you're in my space.
*eyes lock on his, voice low*
