Some part of Parker was irked that she could tell he wasn't comfortable. He'd thought he'd been doing a good job of pretending to be comfortable talking through that. A larger part of him felt the tension go out of him as that little facade crumbled, because her understanding that and commenting on ...

I'm down!

Parker thoughtlessly accepted that rationale and began talking before he’d really thought about it, after all a little truth seemed like an apt prize for their impromptu competition. As he talked he couldn’t help but feel that he was revealing too much though. That he was exposing weaknesses he coul...

Faith smiled, recognising the voice quickly. Kyle had always been an active part of the student council in his own way, and was almost always the first to start talking in meetings, so him being first shouldn't have been a surprise. It was a welcome start though, Kyle was many things, but he wasn't ...

Parker laughed at the little joke about rock throwing at the Olympics, partly because that's basically what Shotput was, just without the skimming. It wasn't that funny, but it was enough to tip him over the edge from general happiness into chipper laughter. Things were spinning a little bit, but no...

Changelog Fixed all noted technical writing issues (whoops) What does else does Luca enjoy about basketball as a sport or is it just the attention? As she played more, she began to enjoy more than just the attention, finding a rush in being able to see just how much she contributed to the team winn...

Faith had to hide a feeling of smug satisfaction as Arizona went to go buy her birthday present -probably to herself- before sitting back down at the table, deciding she would try out the game after all. She did understand though, it wasn't like Magic was associated with anyone who wasn't a complete...

Parker watched as her expression shifted into a Schrodinger-esque superimposition of both an understanding smile and something darker, before being fully observed, causing the wave function to collapse and her expression to settle on understanding. He wasn't sure what that was about. Did she think h...

Parker raised his hand back in something akin to a mirror of her, loosely gesturing back in her direction in order to acknowledge that he saw her too, before dropping his arm and closing the distance. He smiled though, glad they could avoid running into the same problem as before, and enjoying the e...

Near Parker's house, a cell tower repeatedly attempted to deliver a SMS packet to a receiver that was no longer connected to it's control channel, before being stored in the SMSC until it reappeared on the network. The phone in Parker's pocket, an ageing iPhone 5S with a chunk of the glass on the to...

Parker had to stop himself from rolling his eyes as Morgan used Mustang boy's compliment to launch into one of his typical flirting sessions, throwing out a little routine of self-deprecation to lighten the mood. Whilst he had to admit it had it's charms, and he certainly didn't doubt it's efficacy,...

Parker was pleasantly surprised as she suggested an alternative of her own, rather than pouncing on the obvious option. The riverside was pretty chill, and it was a weekday so the area would probably be deserted. He liked taking walks along the riverside when he was taking a break from weed so he di...

Parker couldn't help but feel a tinge of satisfaction course through him as he got the reaction he wanted. She was no longer on edge, and their tone retreated back into the more friendly edge it had held before. There were other little things too, her shoulders loosened and her posture slackened, be...

The first question was expected - so many people seemed to expect that there would be more hassle than just a simple transaction - but the follow on statement made him raise an eyebrow internally. This was a deal, not a date, after all. If she wanted to get to know him, she could have very easily tr...
