Why be a hero when you can have cocoa?

Chapter 5

Just Mia and her stepmom playing around! :) I think I just have a thing for Overwatch characters in this book.

Ch 5: It's NOT a date!

Mia

Chapter Song: Everyone is gay

"Come on! That was funny!" I complained to Brysiese. She was glaring at me over the coffee cup I had given her.

"Giving someone laxatives in food is a dangerous game Mia." she scolded me. "For God's sake, you could've killed them!"

I crossed my arms and glared back. "I gave him the right dose!" I said. "I'm not stupid enough to give him a whole package like other people. Besides, you give me weird potions all the time for your little experiments."

"And you know that I give them to you. You volunteered to drink them remember?" She took a sip of coffee. "This is good. New recipe?"

I shrugged. "Improving an old one. Now look, I gave Lucas the food for a reason," I said.

Brysiese rolled her eyes. "Oh please, there wasn't any reason! You just wanted to be a bully."

I winced. That was true; I was being a bully, but come on! He follows me around almost everyday and tries to get it on with me! Why can't I do something back at him?! I sat down across from Brysiese and sighed. "You're right." Bry raised her eyebrow. "I guess, I was trying to get revenge. I'm just so sick and fucking tired of him following me around and trying to get me to go on a God damned date with him!"

"Then why don't you go on one with him?"

I stared at her with wide eyes. "What?!"

"You heard me. Ask him to go on a date with you."

"Candle head? I'd rather eat the cupcake laxative than go out with him!" I yelled. "Besides, he's never going to speak to me again now! And that's just how I want it!"

Brysiese rolled her eyes. "Oh stop being dramatic, you're acting like a Main." she said.

I glared at her. "Don't loop me in with them."

" Just simply apologize to him about the cupcake and tell him you'll finally go on a date with him to make up for you being a bitch. He gets his date, and you get to finally be left alone. Isn't that what people call a win/win?"

"And if I don't?"

"No more of the cookies my mom bakes" Oh, that's evil! I love those cookies!

I sighed and plopped my head on the table. "Sure, it could work. But I really don't want to date." What if it starts a story? What if something happens and I end up getting warped into some fairy land somewhere? I barely go out because of it. I have never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before, and I don't date. Everyone at school and work knows this. If someone even tries to flirt with me I just let them down. Lucas has been to only stupid bastard that never gave up. And what about those stupid letters someone keeps putting in my locker? What sorry son of a bitch is even trying to like me?

Brysiese shrugged. "Tell him it's not a date then. That you're only doing it to make up for the cupcakes"

"That could work."

The very next day, I dressed as nicely as I could with help from Brysiese. I had on a white knit sweater that was a size too big but still complimented my body and a blue flower mini skirt with white tights and pair of light brown ankle boots that Bry let me borrow. I put on a tiny bit of foundation and eyeliner and used a pink tinted chapstick. "Are you sure this is necessary?" I asked.
