PITD 12: Fountain Wars
By the time she came back down the stairs, skinny jeans had replaced ankle high socks, an oversized, "PLANET OVER PLASTICS' top had replaced the long sweater and boots adorned her small feet.
"Has anyone ever told you, you look gorgeous?"
Yes, multiple times, Leigh smirked inwardly but made a show of blushing for him. It was one of the things she had to learn when she had decided to take on the path of heart breaking. How to fake emotions. She was lucky to have been blessed with the kind of body she had, and the kind of personality that was never shy. It had helped her a lot.
They walked quietly, side by side along the scenic street, basking in the morning sun and enjoying the husky scent that hung heavy on the air. Once in a while, cars swooshed by them, kicking up the fallen leaves of Oak trees to dance on the wind before settling back on the paved road. Most times, they saw a cyclist pedaling their bicycles up and down the road, one was even friendly enoug

"That's a wrap people." Mr Sinmipe, the science teacher said as the bell rang for change of periods. Leigh waited for the rush of students to thin out before heading out into the hallways. She had Literary methods next but since the teacher was fond of coming a few minutes late, she thought it gave her perfect time to visit the restroom. She’d been holding her full bladder for almost thirty minutes and she felt like she could burst open any minute. She dashed like a bullet through the thinning crowd in the hallways and into the nearest restroom. After finishing her business, she came out of the stalls to wash her hands and brush out her hair. She had just soaped her hands when the stall doors swung open and the girl that had been slicking up to Willis the previous week barged in, her face filled with inch thick make up. Leigh, sensing trouble brewing, rinsed her hands and made to leave quickly but her path was blocked by stiletto heels that led up into Jessica's very

Leigh felt her body heat up, starting from where his skin tightly clutched hers and worked hard to swallow the lump that had formed in her throat. They walked the rest of the way in silence, hands in each other's and eyes on the road. By the time they got to his car, the parking lot was nearly deserted. "Won't you change your clothes?" Leigh jerked her chin towards his play vest. "Nah," he shrugged, getting into the car. "You stink!" Leigh said dryly as she got into the car with him. "I refuse to have lunch with a stinking guy." Willis rolled his eyes, turning the key in ignition. "And here I was thinking my good looks and charm were enough to woo you," he replied cheerfully. "Nuh-uh," she shook her head, letting her hair fall all over her face. "You’ve got to do better than that Stink," she smirked and smoothed her hair out of her face. "Oh yeah?" his asked, intrigued. "I would absolutely love it if you could tell me more abou

Samantha had just put Tommy to sleep when she heard the front door slam shut. She moved to living room, intent on discovering what had kept her daughter out late on a school night. Again.

Willis walked slowly along the boulevard of the busy street, enjoying the chilly air and buzz of Saturday morning activity. He had woken up early, not that he had gotten much sleep anyways and had been too restless to go back to sleep. He felt like something was missing, like the missing piece to a puzzle, he felt like a gaping hole was in his chest that needed to be filled. That same restlessness had driven him out of bed and into his car where he had driven around town in circles until his heart had led him to where he was.The Park.He had spent the first few minutes of his arrival in the car, contemplating whether it was a good idea to stay or just drive away, keep driving until he somehow manages to escape the surging feeling that was enveloping him. But even as he sat and considered it, he knew that it was not a feeling to be ignored or pushed till it somehow faded away into the throes of one's mind, however fiercely he wished it was. So he had gotten out of his

Leigh checked her phone for the thousandth time that day and it was not even mid-day yet. She had sent Willis a quick text before leaving her house for the subway that morning, the least he could do was acknowledge her text. At first thought it was because she had sent it early that morning, and he might not have woken up yet. Then later she had convinced herself that he was most probably busy with other things since everyone could not be like her who checked her phone for messages first thing in the morning. It was an old habit she hoped to break but then there was this saying about old habits and dying hard. Minutes later, she had checked her phone again to still find no reply for him, then her mind had gone as far as imagining what terrible fate might have befallen him that he could not reply her text. Maybe he had broken his hand playing basketball, or he had hit his head on the wall while sleep walking, or he had a very bad case of food poisoning. She had managed to sto

She was so screwed, Leigh thought, smiling sloppily into her second bottle of Tequila. It was a good thing that Thea's mom had them in store around the house for... certain visitors that preferred something stronger than wine and Leigh was more than happy to fill the shoes of 'certain visitors'. She, with the help of a grumbling Thea had helped a passed out cold Willis into a nearby hotel room and checked him in before dragging his very heavy and very drunk self into the elevators and then his room. At least he had not mumbled drunken words or –Thank Heavens—puked on her again. Then, they had abandoned him there, to deal with the repercussions of his stupid escapade and taken the cab home. But the night was still young, they had intended to spend it at the club before the idiot showed up. Now, Thea had not gotten laid – though that was one thing she was grateful for—and he had once again invaded her peace and privacy. The very reason why she had been in the club in the first
