Slice of Life 3

Kate Blabber stood inches away from the new girl, comtemplating to introduce herself. Impatient, Maddie snapped at Kate, ′ What the heck are you doing?′

‘I’m testing the water, I might scare her away, ’ she whisperred back while bitting her nails nervously.

′ Why don’t you test me instead?′ Cocking an eyebrow, she looked at her with a smirk then munched on a indigo plump gummy.

′ Why would I want to test the lava?′ Kate answered. A soft chuckle elicited from Phoria, who tried to halt her giggles by biting her rosy lips.

Gazing at Kate with pure hostility as the listeners around them struggled hard not to laugh, Kate cowered away like a guilty dog before Maddie could utter another word. ‘Umm... I probably should go,’ she left quickly, avoiding invisible daggers shot at her back.

Busy scribbling workings for her maths homework, Phoria feigned a calm facade. ‘Anything that ticks you today, my dear friend?’ Maddie questioned with wiggling eyebrows.

′ Oh...Nothing at all, my adorable tiger’ she exaggerated the last words with a smile that threatened to turn into peals of laughter.

′ I’ll make it possible then,′ In a flash, index fingers poked Phoria’s hips. Drilling them in, a surprise cry resonated across the canteen. Falling out, she whimpered for mercy as she tried to get away but to no avail.

A sudden deafeningly loud ring saved her from further abuse. Wiping her tears, she squealed at Maddie, ′ It hurts!′ then blushed into shades of tomato as she realised that everyone was staring at her.
