“No pointers it is then…”

For the August microfic challenge: Drip

“I’m gonna make a difference this time,” Alex said looking out at the empty field. Tomorrow was the big game. Her nerves were showing. “This is what I’ve been training for.”

Alex watched as the other got up to leave. “Why don’t you stay for dinner?” she suggested.

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

“Oh, man. I almost made it to the top that time,” Alex said as she walked over to where the other had been sitting and watching.

“It’s just really hard when you like someone, but they don’t think of you that way,” Alex said with a defeated shrug. Truth be told, she didn’t actually know how the person she liked felt about her, but she was afraid of getting hurt, so she hadn’t told them yet.

“Just admit you might be wrong and you can come under the umbrella,” Alex teased as she watched her friend look nervously up at the cloudy sky. It was totally about to start raining, and as usual, Alex was the one out of the two of them who had been prepared.

“Having trouble sleeping?” Alex asked, seeing the cubicles under their eyes. 

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

“You want me to meet your family?” Alex asked, not able to believe what she had just heard. “Me? Well, I admire your courage.”

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

“Listen, are we going to talk about what happened the other night, or are you going to keep avoiding me?” Alex asked, arching an eyebrow. “You can’t hide from me forever.”

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

“Nice one, but enough practicing.” Alex looked at the time on her phone. “We’re gonna be late for dinner.”

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

“Oh, I. . .” Alex stammered. “I thought you were taken.”

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

“Wait a minute. Are you jealous?”

The Death of Me?

“Honestly? My first impression of you was that you were going to be trouble.” Alex said with a small chuckle. “I can’t say I was that far off,” she teased. “Will you be the death of me?” she asked, her expression showing that the question was mostly a joke. 

Starter inspired by a sentence in this meme.

“I can’t watch you do this to yourself,” Alex said, clearly defeated. “Not anymore.”

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

“What is this for?” Alex asked looking down at the card that had just been handed to her. “My birthday isn’t for a few months.”

“Look, I get it, okay? You’ve been hurt before, but I’m not your ex,” Alex said. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt you.” She didn’t know what else to do. How else coil she convince them if they kept pushing her away.
