For a moment, time wasn’t moving —
Freen’s lips hovered just a breath away from Becky’s, warm breath fanning over her cheek, fingers still curled into the hem of Becky’s shirt like she owned the universe and it was trembling under her touch.
Becky was gone.
Not physically —
but mentally? Already melting.
She swallowed, heart jumping like it was on a roller coaster with no safety belt.
Becky (soft, breathless):
“Baby… please… let me go.”
Freen froze.
Not expecting that kind of begging.
Her fingers were still under Becky’s jaw, thumb brushing her cheek like she was carved out of something holy. She blinked slowly, pupils dark, voice rough from restraint.
Freen:
“Bec… don't look at me like that. I’ll forget where we are.”
Becky gulped, hands clutching Freen’s blazer.
Becky:
“I know… that’s why I’m saying please. If you don’t stop, I… I might not walk straight out of here.”
Freen leaned in, lips grazing the corner of Becky’s mouth.
Freen (smirking, whisper):
“Who said I want you walking at all?”
Becky smacked her shoulder — weakly — because her body had already turned into jelly.
Becky:
“Freen. Babe. Please. If you don’t let me go, we— we’ll—”
Freen:
“—Become legends?”
Becky (panicking whisper):
“No, we will become scandals!”
Freen chuckled, but she still kept Becky pinned gently to the wall.
And right then
Becky realized if she didn’t run now, she would be morally, emotionally, spiritually, academically, nationally destroyed.
So she used…
The Nuclear Button.
She took a dramatic breath and screamed:
“NAM!”
Freen jerked back like someone threw holy water at a vampire.
Freen:
“Where?!?!” (spins like a panicked kitten ready to fight NAM or heaven itself)
Silence.
Empty doorway.
No Nam.
No sound.
No apocalypse.
Just Becky… almost at the door nobe
Becky:
“Class is in ten. We should behave… for now.”
Freen’s jaw dropped.
Freen (weak whisper):
“That was illegal.”
Becky winked.
Becky:
“Arrest me later, babe.”
And she slipped outside — vanishing like the chaos fairy she is.
Freen stood there, hand still on the wall, dramatically whispering into the universe:
Freen:
“She’s going to be the end of me.”
