It had been something she had always wanted to do all those years before, but now, not was was…nngk it was fine? Yknow fine. He was a friend.

He was a friend.

When he told her to listen she did, she looked up at him and watched his face as he spoke. Her eyes flicking over his features. ”one sec – two popcorns please” she added to the vendor and quickly paid before Chase even had a chance to try to and now she was thrusting an unopened popcorn bag into his hand ”I’m listening…now” she chewed her lip and watched as he ran a hand through his hair.

True love was a partner in crime? she didn’t want a new partner in crime, still she was listening. ”fiiiiiiiine help me…but no, nope we already established this I don’t need to know about that” she was mostly sassing him now since obviously he’d get it right. Right?

”a team? WHO? Why…do you need a team?” she asked her eyebrows raising aas she listened to him – wait…her pretty little head? The urge to sass him was rearing its ugly head once more, and she was doing it. ”aww, you think I have a pretty head” she gave him an impish little grin as she pet his shoulder, ”don’t worry, I’ll take this secret to my grave” she dramatically made an X over her heart as if she were making some childhood promise, when she thrust her right have over her chest she even winked at him before opening her popcorn bag and tossing a kernel into the air and catching it in her mouth.

HA! She had done it – take that Ewan Jones. She had succeeded in the art of tossing food into her own mouth – which had always well…not been her forte. Knocking balls with sticks had always been her thing.

When Chase said she was three years younger all Beth did was squint at him and glare. ”excuse you Chase, I am not 16. I’m turning 18 their year….eighteen – like I might have been like three terms below you I was only two years younger…” she shook her head and sighed. ”I mean I told you this when we met and you went all I’m three years older and I was born in 2081….like c’mon Spenley.” she huffed at him and shook her head, ”I’m not like a baby. I’ve been of-age since November 1st of last year” seeeee she was of age.

Wait why was he petting her head? She just grumbled at him and tutted, she had actually tutted. ”I’m not a baby” she hissed out again as she huffed dramatically.

Her eyebrows knitted together for a moment. ”you’re…relieved? Why because it means you were right when you thought I had a crush on you back in first year?” she huffed at him and rolled her eyes. ”OH COME ON…fiiiine maybe I’ll start believing that you just secretly want me to be like in looooove with you” she wasn’t. she was just beth.
He chuckled and glanced down for a fleeting moment so that she wouldn’t be able to see how much his eyes shone with excitement when she confessed that little secret. It… It meant a lot that she had shared that with him. Sassing aside, he offered her a smile and then the dreaded ruffling of hair happened. Chase blinked and stared at her blankly yet somehow confused. Error 404: Chase Spenley operating system not found. He had short-circuited and thus just let it happen. He stayed like this for a while and finally came back to life (thank goodness) after GG had paid for their popcorns. “Umm.. thank you.” He hadn’t expected her to purchase the popcorn. “Next time. It’s on me…


Chase then offered a genuine smile. “Consider it a deal, Greyvson.” He balanced the popcorn in one hand and then extended his free hand to her to shake. He scrunched up his nose at her sassy retort on not needing to know if he was fun. “Get your mind out of the gutter. If you don’t want to ask Maeve, ask Lucas then.” Mhmm… Hmm. New thought. Did Beth even know Lucas? They were the same house but had he ever introduced the two? “You do know Lucas right..?

Because it is more fun to have a team. It’s going to be like the Avengers except substitute magic for super powers.” He smirked, really starting to feel more dramatic now. He sighed, looking away from her and the imaginary camera that he imagined was right behind Beth. He didn’t even take note of her comment of having a pretty head. “I see it now – one day we’ll get to watch this moment as a cinematic masterpiece when they decide to film my documentary – it’ll be…” He paused, replaying what she said again after he heard that she’d take the secret to the grave. “Wait. What are you taking to your grave?” he asked, genuinely confused as he tried to run the scene back through his head. “OH.” Surprise Pikachu face. He stood like that for a hot minute before he raised his finger and pointed it at her. “Yes, you better take that to your grave.” He was getting very sloppy and losing his momentum. He brushed away fake tears and clutched his hand to his chest. “I had a moment of weakness.” Sigh.

He blinked and pretended to play dumb. “You’re not sixteen?” he repeated. “When did you have your sweet sixteen birthday party then? And why wasn’t I invited? Hmm?” Heh. Every girl had a sweet sixteen, right? He chuckled when she huffed and got all upset about age. Hehe. They were back to fake bickering again. “My mistake.” He offered another smile, pretending to give in to her not being a baby. “I was wrong. You’re not a baby." Beat. Pat pat for dramatic effect and now here's the line."You’re....adorable."

Chase Spenley looked absolutely gleeful at this moment when Beth reminded him of how excited he had been to find out that he was right. He enjoyed being right. He knew that she had had a crush on him. The next sentence really tickled him. Secretly want her to be in love with him? He was about to deny it and call her out on her dramatics but decided that she needed a little pick me up. He shrugged his shoulders and oh so nonchalantly, revealed, “I mean- would you blame a guy for wanting that?” Then proceeded to take a piece of popcorn from her bag. Not salty enough. “Anyway to answer your first question about our mini-me’s. Are they going to fall in love or…?” He rocked side to side, debating it. “There’s potential for those two.”
