Gloria's eyes flickered curiously from Rob's face to his wrist, widening slightly at the sight of the scar. Her hands twitched in her lap, from a strange instinct to try and touch it-- No, no, bad idea. Personal space, and he won't like it! But she kept staring at the white scar for a few moments, t...

"A-Are you...s-sure?" Gloria looked up in surprise. She'd been expecting Rob to stop talking by this point...not that she wanted him to stop, it was just that he was shy, and she wasn't the best person to have a conversation with. In fact, she didn't think anyone would want to talk to her ...

Where? Celeste suddenly stopped her movements, opening her eyes and staring straight ahead blankly as she drew a bit of a blank. Huh. That was a good question. They certainly couldn't do anything in the school or on the grounds--the teachers were on patrol, and if they were caught...Well, it'd be w...

I really need to try and stop stuttering, Gloria thought, embarrassed. But even so, she still stuttered as she replied "I-It's fine...Mom wo-won't mind...a-at all. She...Sh-She'd be glad to d-d-do it..." And glad I asked someone to let her drive them home, too, Gloria suddenly realized, t...

Celeste's smile grew, but she purposely kept it small. "Have you now?" She leaned up, giving him another quick kiss, this time on the nose. Well, that was certainly good for her, wasn't it? "I'm glad to hear that, then, Big Guy," she whispered, kissing him again, briefly. "I...

"I-In the dark?" Gloria whispered, hands tightening around her cup. She looked up at Rob, her blush starting to fade at last. He was seriously walking? But what about muggers? He was dressed in a tux, what if someone thought that a fancily-dressed person was a perfect target? "B-But.....

"O-Oh, right..." Gloria mumbled, looking into her cup before taking another sip. Now she felt a little guilty for having Rob take the water...punch tasted much better than water, after all. "Do y-you w-w-want--?" she started, before hastily stopping, flushing red again and mumbli...

Celeste was caught by surprise--a bit--when John kissed her. She hadn't expected him to do that...She wasn't sure just what she was expecting, but not this. Not that she was complaining, of course. Celeste shut her eyes, unable to help smiling a little into the kiss, wrapping her arms around John's ...

As Rob walked away, Gloria looked back down at her feet, taking a few more deep, calming breaths. She truly hoped her mom didn't ask how Prom was...or if she had fun. Gloria really couldn't say "yes," to that, now could she? Granted, the evening had picked up a tiny bit--she'd just met som...

Celeste smiled wider, hugging John tighter as she felt warmth against the top of her head. Part of her really, really hoped someone was watching. Yeah, you see this? See us? she gloated internally. Sighing softly, Celeste turned her face into the young man's shirt and shut her eyes. "Hey, I don...

Celeste grinned, squeezing John's hands a bit. "Well...it's not that I was worried how you felt about me, but...what people'd think of you. I worry, you know," she half-lied. He was cute, yes, and very sweet, and they'd slept with each other, but Celeste wasn't quite sure she actually love...

Sending Rob a grateful smile, Gloria nodded, still shakily, a bit, and stepped away from the group, mumbling quiet apologies as she did. She hoped nobody would be too offended--she just couldn't be surrounded by this many people, be in the center of attention...Gloria took a few deep breaths as she ...

In spite of herself, Gloria managed a bit of a laugh at Rob's comments. She then felt embarrassed again, but a lot less so, and for another reason. She'd just acted like the others were going to murder her or something--completely untrue, of course. "I--I'm not n-nervous 'cause I want t-to be.....

"Welll..." Celeste began, before pausing, glancing at the other occupants at the table. There were other people here...not that she cared too much, but there was something she did want to ask John. And she sure as hell wasn't going to say it in front of mixed company, that was for damn sur...

Still mentally scolding herself, Gloria shook her head, lowering her hands further. "N-No, it's o-okay...'m sorry..." She took in the look on Rob's face, and the way Ema was leaning towards them. That only made her feel worse. "I--I'm fine, really," she continued, voice getting q...
