They all arrived at Burger King and put their stuff down. Everyone was either standing, laying on a bench, or sitting on a table. A few kids started talking about guns, and the other group was talking about music, which was the group Ares was a part of. Kayla however, was wrapped up in Mae's arms. The Lion occasionally glanced over to look at her, offering a smile which was returned. On the third or fourth time glancing over, the Satyr was glued to the bears neck. Ares looked back after a few seconds, and almost immediately the Satyr met his eyes while kissing her neck to send a clear message; "Mine".
He quickly looked back towards his friends, slightly thrown-off. He didn't have any intentions of getting with her, or maybe he did and just didn't realize it. Whatever the case, he shook it off and continued to talk amongst his group.
A few hours later, when everyone dispersed and Mae and Kayla went off, he decided he might as well to show up to the school a little bit late... he went home and got his car. Ares had saved up his lunch money for a few weeks to buy a few dozen roses from the local flower shop. The sky got dark and it began to rain again as he drove down the street towards the school.
He arrived as soon as the dragoness's choir came on. He said hey to her family as he sat in the first row. The entire time she the choir was singing Christmas songs, his eyes were glued to her. He smiled as he looked at her neck and saw she was wearing the necklace he gave her on her birthday.
Three hours later after the concert was over, the black lion waited outside the choir room and the girls came out, talking and laughing with their friends. The dragoness came out of the door, wearing her black dress, texting on her phone. He ran up and hugged her, and she gently motioned him off.
"I got you flowers! They're roses, your favorite." Ares said with a smile.
"...thanks."
She remained glued to her phone as Ares stood there for a couple awkward seconds.
"So... did you have fun?"
The dragoness looked up, "Listen, I know you know that I'm with Jack now. And honestly, I don't care what you think. I'm over everyone at this school, so don't think giving me flowers will make me want to go out with you again. Maybe if you got your grades up and actually paid for things more often, then you'd be worth my time."
The black lion stood there for a few seconds. Suddenly, thoughts ran through his mind, he wanted to scream at her for cheating on him, lying to him, breaking promises; he wanted to badly to go off for an hour about how bad of a person he was, and how she never deserved him.
Ares turned around, and walked away.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going to give me a ride home?" she said with a snarl.
Ares smiled to himself, "You live down the street. I've got better things to do."
"It's raining." she said, putting her hands on her hips.
"What, are you afraid you'd melt?" He replied as he pushed the door open with his back and gave her one last smile. Before heading to his car.
He started his engine and put in his pop-punk cd. The storm outside was silent in contrast to the music. The only thing he could think about is how he wasted two years being her slave. As he was driving, he spaced out to the chorus;
And we've all had bad times in our lives,
And we've all been sad from all the lies,
That we've been told,
Or been sold,
But not anymore.
And we've all had bad times in our lives,
And we've all been sad from all the lies,
That we've been told,
Or been sold,
But not anymore.
