"Hey! Watch your mouth you creepy mummy thing!"
————<•>————
"We need help!" Jim yells as he tries to keep his mother upright.
I stand a bit behind him with Stricklers arm around my shoulder as I try my best to hold his weight.
"Humans in troll market!" A troll yelled as the tiredness starts to creep into me, my legs shaking as my eyes close slightly.
Strickler seemed to be growing more weak as he weakly lifted up his head, his eyes dazed as he looks around, Barbara seeming to be in the same state as him.
"What's going on?" A troll yells as they start to crowd around us.
"Flesh Bags!" A troll yells as my eyes widen, my head glancing to all the trolls.
"What are they doing here?" Another troll yells, the sound seeming to echo in my ears.
"They don't trust him!" Another yells.
"They don't belong here!" A female troll screeches.
As the trolls harped on the injured humans, Barbara and Strickler were growing weaker, the wound on their necks growing harsh.
"We need Vendel! Where's Vendel?" Jim yells worriedly as he looks from his mum to me and Strickler behind him.
Barbara's knees gave out, the two dropping to the floor as the rest of the team had finally appeared.
"Y/n! Jim!" I hear Claire cry as she runs over to me.
"Claire!" I yell as I remove Stricklers arm from around my shoulder, dropping him to the ground and hugging her tightly, ignoring the groaning Strickler on the ground. Claire is more important.
"Great Gronkamora, what happened?" Blinky asks as he surveyed the mess we made.
"Angor attacked Strickler. The binding spell!" Jim says breathlessly as me and Claire walk over to them.
Strickler let out a cough as he sat up from the ground where I dropped him, holding his neck in pain and glaring at me.
"And to think I was starting to like you" He groans as he points a finger at me.
"Hey! I still saved your life!" I say with a huff.
The trolls did not appreciate the sight of him, as they all crowded him, spewing out threats.
"The changeling!" One troll yells.
"Let's crush him!" Another yells as my eyes widen.
"What? No!" I yell as I run to stand in front of him, the big trolls fist raised in the air as my eyes glow a F/c, energy surrounding the trolls fist freezing him in place.
"Stop! Not unless you want to kill his mother too!" I hear Vendel yell as he makes his way over "Y/n! Release that troll!"
I scowl before my magic disappears, the troll huffing and backing away.
"Quickly, bring them both to the examination dwell" Vendel instructs as we all nod our heads.
Aaarrrgghh groaned, tightly gripping Strickler and lifting him into the air as Strickler groaned in pain.
However, Aaarrrgghh had grown shocked when he heard Barbara cry in pain, realizing what was the cause of it.
"I got him big guy" I say as Aaarrgghhh places Strickler onto the floor, Claire and I throwing Stricklers arms around our shoulders.
Honestly I'm so tired I don't even question why Aaarrgghhh is here and not with his brother trolls, I'll ask later.
Blinky bent down, scooping Barbara away from Jim, but that didn't stop the boy. He was quick to stand beside Blinky, not missing a step as his mother curled in Blinky's hold.
"Your going to be okay Barbara?" Blinky says softly as we quickly walk them over to where Vendel went.
"Quickly! This way!" Vendel says.
"You alright there old dude?" I ask as he groans in response "Good talk"
Toby walked up to us, smiling at me in greeting as he hands Claire a horn?
"Woah, what's that?" I ask as we speed walk.
"Horngozel, long story" Claire says as she slips it into her bag.
"I closed the gate before Angor Rot got in" Toby says as we walk.
"Good, I've seen enough of him to last me a lifetime" I groan as Stricklers weight starts to get the better of me.
"Vendel's going to be able to fix this. Right Blink?" Claire asks worriedly as she walks with Stricklers arm around her shoulder.
"Only the fates can tell now. Barbara's only hope is to break the spell that intwindes her fate with Strickler's. If Vendel can, maybe, just maybe she'll be strong enough to survive on her own" Blinky says as he keeps a tight grip on Barbara.
"What about Strickler?" I ask as we walk.
"When do you care about Strickler? Didn't you want to cut his arm off a week ago?" Claire asks as she keeps a secure grip of his arm, Strickler groaning in a daze.
"I don't care, I'm just asking a question" I say as I look forward, avoiding her gaze.
"Bring the changeling" Vendel says as Blinky hands Barbara over "I must treat him as well"
I internally sigh in relief as Claire and I walk over and lay Strickler down.
Barbara groaning in pain while her son watched with an anguished expression. Jim sighed, his armor fading as he followed them in, head down low. I walk over to him and place a hand on his shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
————<•>————
We all wait outside for what must've been hours, each silent with sadness while Jim paced, the time passing as he still continued his movements.
"Jim...maybe sit down" I say carefully as he sighs and sits down beside me, only to be seen standing once again right as Vendel stepped out.
"H-How's my mom?" Jim asks with wide eyes, his voice cracking as he spoke.
"She is resting for now" Vendel added, Strickler stepping out beside the troll, arm in a sling once again.
I try to hide my smile as I make eye contact with him, instead giving him the finger as he rolls his eyes.
"But we must move her to the Heartstone" Vendel explains.
"Blinky says that we need to break the binding spell" Jim added in, Blinky standing beside him.
"I agree with his assessment. She cannot properly heal while still bound to the Changeling. Unfortunately, this is Gumm-Gumm magic and alast I don't know the proper incantation" Vendel explains .
"Great, thanks a lot Strickler" I mumble as I cross my arms.
"No, but he does" Jim says bitterly as he points a finger at him.
At that, Aaarrrgghh had leaned down to Strickler, growling, striking fear in the injured Changeling. Toby had come from the other side, a fierce glare on his face and he balled his fists.
"Well are you waiting for an invitation, or do I have to beat it out of you?" Toby says, attempting to be threatening but it didn't real work for him.
"I don't have it..." Stricklers voice quivered as he spoke.
"What do you mean you don't have it?" I ask as my eyes glow a F/c.
"-With me. It's in the Book of Ga-huel. In my office" Strickler says quickly.
"We have to go get it" Jim says as he turns to me, I nod in agreement as I stand next to him.
"We'll have to be careful" Claire says as she stand with us.
"Yeah, that crazy psychopath will be there" Toby says as he also stands next to us.
"Oh! I forgot about Angor rot!" Jim groaned.
"No, Coach Lawrence! It's the Spring Fling dance and he's going to be roaming the halls" Toby explains as Jim and I roll our eyes.
"Easy fix, he loves Y/n, she can be our distraction" Claire says as I nod my head.
"The Spring Fling., it's tonight, I forgot" Jim says as he sadly looks at me.
"You're mom's life is more important than a stupid dance Jim, it's fine" I say as I place a hand on his shoulder.
"I know, but I was looking forward to our stupid dance" Jim says with a fond smile.
"So was I, but we can dance anytime we want" I say reassuringly.
"Toby, Y/n and I will get the incantation. You need to be here for your mom" Claire agrees as I nod my head in agreement.
"You must go now. Make haste!" Vendel says.
"We got this!" I say to Jim with a reassuring smile.
Claire pulled out her staff as Jim backed away a safe distance.
"Let's go guys!" Claire yells as she swung her staff to the side, opening a portal letting Toby leap through first who hadn't hesitated, Claire follows in after.
"Goodluck!" Jim says to me as I'm about to jump in.
"Won't need it!" I say with a wink as I jump in, the portal disappearing behind me.
————<•>————
The school had been lit up, beams of light shooting into the night sky as the gym had flashed numerous colors, loud bumping music was heard as chatter mingled with the noise.
The portal opened in a dark empty classroom, Claire and I leaping out of the portal skilfully as we look at our surroundings.
"Made it!" Claire says with a happy smile.
"Keep quiet guys! Angor Rots still out there-" I start to say before Toby cuts me off by tumbling out of the portal with a loud yelp, landing harshly on the floor.
Claire winced before shushing the boy who landed upside down and pressed against the desk in an uncomfortable manner.
"Shhh! Toby!" Claire scolds.
"Sorry!" Toby winces as he kicked his legs, rolling over and standing.
"Didn't stick the landing. Come on, Dr. L. doesn't have much time" Toby says sneaking to the door.
Claire and I followed behind him, Claire keeping her bag close. We peeked our heads through the crack in the door, looking to see if anyone is in the hallways.
Claire had caught sight of a flashlight, shining right on us. With a quiet gasp, she pulled Toby and I out of sight, closing the door. We stilled ourselves behind the door, listening to the muffled voices of coach and...is that Mary? Of course it's Mary.
Toby, with a stern look made hand gestures, Claire and I instantly catching on as we gave a small smile and a simple nod.
Slowly peeling open the door, Toby, Claire and I had looked at Coach who's back was turned, the flashlight pointing away from us and it seemed that the Coach had been distracted by picking at his teeth.
The three of us barely made it far when Toby' stomach began to gurgle, freezing us in our tracks.
Toby held his stomach as Claire turned to face him. The stout boy gasped as he was right behind Coach Lawrence, yelping when the man moved rather quickly, pointing the flashlight in our direction.
I quickly pushed Toby and Claire out of the way, the flashlight glaring into my eyes as Coach gasped.
"L/n? What are you doing?" Coach asks in a hurt voice, like he can't believe I would betray him like this.
"I'm sorry coach, I was looking for you" I make up as I gesture to Claire and Toby to run, which they do.
"Me? Why?" He asks as i wrack my brain for answers.
"It's about...the homework" I stumble out, not the best lie but it will do.
"Homework? I didn't set any homework?" Coach asks suspiciously as my eyes widen.
"You didn't set any homework? Than what have I been doing for the last week?" I ask in fake shock, clearly confusing him.
"I set homework?" Coach asks with wide eyes as I nod my head.
"Yeah...the sport essay about our favourite team" I say quickly as I nod my head.
"I don't remember-" he starts to mumble before I cut him off.
"You don't remember setting your students mountains of homework?" I ask in a fake hurt voice making his eyes widen.
"Oh L/n, you don't have to do it" Coach says as I pretend to fake cry in my hand.
"I already did!" I cry as Coach awkwardly pats my back.
"I-I'm sorry!" He stutters out as I just turn away from him.
"I don't want to hear it" I say as I give him the cold shoulder.
Before Coach can say anything else, a thud is heard from Stricklers office making my eyes widen as my shoulders tense. They had one job.
"Give me a moment L/n" Coach says as he starts to walk towards the office, me walking behind him.
He opened the door and flicked the flashlight on, revealing Toby clinging to Claire in a really weird position as i grimace.
If only I had my phone.
"What's going on here?" Coach asks as he looks from me to Claire and Toby.
"Oh, I know what this is. You two lovebirds sneaking around playing 'romper' room unsupervised! And tricking poor L/n into distracting me!" Coach says as my mouth hangs open in shock.
"Us?" Claire asked in disbelief, looking down at Toby who tried to play along.
"Yeah" Toby agrees, however Toby was quickly shut down when Claire had gently shoved him away, not hesitating to disagree.
"No way" Claire exclaims as I try and hold in my laughter.
"No" Toby fixed, clearing his throat. The coach's eyes landed on the staff which still was tucked between Claire's fingers.
"What is that? Give me!" Coach yells, he didn't give us a chance, ripping it from the girl's hand and stomping off.
"No, no!" Claire cried as she reaches for it.
"Coach-" I start to yell.
"Coach! It's not what you think it is-" Toby yells as my eyes widen.
"What do you think, he thinks it is?" I ask with wide eyes as Toby's mouth opens in shock.
The grown man ignored us and sniffed the object, pointing the flashlight on Claire's staff.
"What is this thing?" Coach mumbled to no one in particular.
"This legal? A tube, tube-ish kinda..." Coach asks as my brain, for the first time ever, can't think of anything to say.
Toby let out a nervous sound as the coach began to turn around, the three of us quickly straightening our postures and smiling as if we hadn't done anything.
"Alright, that's it. You two, with me! L/n, your free to go!" Coach says as all our eyes widen.
"Oh..." I say as they all walk off, leaving me in Stricklers office alone.
I walked over to Stricklers desk, looking around for the book we need before finding it open on his desk, clearly they were about to grab it.
I take a deep breath before ripping a page from the book of Gotheal, I could almost shed a tear for how sad that just made me.
I open the door quietly and run around the halls, looking for the room they're in. I find a light on in a room and open the door, only to see the most disturbing sight ever.
"What the fuck!" I yell as I look to the ground to find Ms Janeth crouched over a wide eyed Toby, her lips on his as she seems to be blowing into his mouth.
"It's not what it looks like!" Coach yells with wide eyes as I stand there in shock.
"She's giving him CPR!" Claire says as she can guess how disturbing the sight must be to walk in on.
"You're going to be just fine, Toby" Miss. Janeth said, pulling away to reveal a gaping Toby. His eyes were wide, his mouth had fallen open and his whole body had frozen. She stood up, wiping her lip and feeling successful.
"I've always wanted to do CPR" Ms Janeth says as I look at her weirdly.
I stepped up to Toby who groaned at the reminder, still lying flat on his back. I helped the boy to a stand as I pat his back.
"You alright ginger?" I ask hesitantly as Toby groans in disgust.
"I should probably take him to get some air!" Claire added, pushing Toby away from the scene, the boy still not completely working.
"Take this!" I say to Claire as I hand her the piece of paper that I ripped from the book.
"What is it?" Claire asks as we run.
"No idea" I shrug.
We run up the stairs and finally stop as we make it to the roof, panting with wide eyes at the event that just happened.
"Come on! Nobody will see us up here! Get the portal open" Toby yells.
"She is! Stop distracting her!" I exclaim as Claire try's to open the portal.
"Concentrate!" Toby says making Claire annoyed.
"I'm trying!" She yells.
"Talking to me" Toby shrug as I roll my eyes.
"You have nothing to concentrate on Toby, shut up" I grumble, just wanting to get back.
She squeezed her eyes shut and focused, the staff humming before it appeared from its small containment, black pouring over the Shadow Staff, fueling a portal.
"Yes!" I exclaim.
"Claire! Y/n! Claire! Y/n! Claire! Y/n!" Toby starts to chant as he waved his hand around.
"What?" I say annoyed as I turn to him.
I look up and gasp as I feel all their air leave my lungs. Angor stood above us, dagger pulled out and the same haunting grin still on his face, a golden light caressing Angor's face.
"Keep saying my name. It's really helping my concentration" Claire says annoyed, completely oblivious to the danger we're in.
"No Claire! He's here!" Toby yells.
"Stop the portal!" I exclaim.
Claire snapped from her daze, letting out a gasp as her chocolate brown eyes landed on Angor's arched form.
"The weak human thinks she has the will to power the Skathe-Hrün" Angor Rot chuckles.
"Hey! Watch your mouth you creepy mummy thing!" I say defensively.
Toby whimpered as he grabbed my arm, pulling me with him as we made a break for it. However, Angor wasn't letting us go away so easily. He leaped from his position with a harsh grunt, following after us.
We climbed each level of the school roof, me blindly throwing F/c energy blasts at him in hopes of slowly him down, until Toby nearly lost his balance over the edge. Luckily Claire had stopped him just in time before he fell to his doom.
I let out a yelp in surprise as we were cornered, Angor's angry huffs were heard, only making me more nervous, we try to back up, the reminder of our situation setting when our feet scraped the edge of the building.
"Get behind me" I mumble as I stand in front of them, my bracelet turning into my staff.
"Oh no!" Toby cries as Claire shushes him.
Angor finally closed the distance on us, raising his dagger, I blocked the blow, letting out a grunt as our weapons collided.
"Tell me where's the key to Trollmarket, and I'll let you live!" Angor Roy hisses.
"How about no?" I taunt as I hold him back the best I could "Guys run!"
I shove Angor to the side as Toby and Claire run to the other side, before retaking a protective stance.
"You guys good?" I ask, slightly turning my head, Claire's eyes widen, yelling out and blocking a dagger that was centimetres from my face.
"Thanks" I say breathlessly as she nods her head.
Angor let out a battle cry as he swipes at us, me and Claire dodging the blow, Claire rolling away as I side step and whack his head, Claire whacking the back of his leg.
Angor swiped at Claire, knocking her to the side as he swipes at me, I just manage to block it as he leans forward, the knife millimetres away from my face as I struggle.
"Staffs of such power are not meant to be wielded by man!" Angor says as Claire gets back up, standing behind me as I shove his knife away.
"Lucky for us-" I say as I duck and swipe my legs at his feet, tripping him to the ground.
"-We are not men" Claire finishes as she swings her staff at him, Angor managing to move away just in time.
Once again he swipes his knifes at us, Claire and me dodging as we block with our staffs. I throw an energy blast at him, knocking him to the ground as he groans in annoyance. Claire goes to hit him but Angor Rot kicks her harshly in the stomach, Claire falling to the ground.
I yell as I throw an energy blast at him, Angor just blocks it and sends it back my way as I harshly hit the ground with a groan.
"Now that is power!" Angor says as he points his staff at me and Claire.
His victorious chant was cut off as bricks struck his face, angering him more while Toby laughed in the background.
"Eat brick, hamburger face!" Toby yells as I tiredly laugh.
"Hamburger face" I giggle quietly as my head rests on the ground.
Toby yelled, throwing another brick. Yet, Angor was prepared, swinging the staff and blocking the incoming bricks.
"When I've finish with the girls, I'm coming-" Angor Rot is cut off by me harshly kicking my leg in his groin, Claire swiping his feet as he falls to the ground with a whimper.
I tiredly get up as I lean against my staff, Claire standing beside me.
"Ugh!" Angor groans as he lays on the floor. The only noise he could make out was nothing but a pitiful groan.
"Rule number three" Claire says as I look at her confused.
"Rule number three?" I ask as she just shakes her head.
"Long story" Claire mumbles as we start to run.
Toby helped us up the ladder as me and Claire are seriously tired. We turn back around to see no Angor and a gasping Toby.
"Where did he go?" I ask quietly, looking around the area to find No Angor Rot.
"Who cares, let's go!" Claire yells as she summons a portal.
We start to run up to the portal, almost to our escape before we scream as Angor leapt down in front of us, grabbing me by the throat as he holds me upwards.
"Leaving so soon?" Angor asks before he pries the spell out of my pocket, the one I took from Toby thinking it would be in better hands with me, clearly I was wrong, before throwing me off the roof as I scream.
"Y/n!" Claire and Toby scream as Claire grips onto my hand, saving me from my harsh demise as I dangle from the building.
"You sought to break my enchantment, but you have failed. A pity you're not better warriors" I hear Angor Rot chuckle as I try and pull myself up, sighing relief as I feel my feet back on the ground.
"I'm not a Warrior, but I threw javelin in track and field!" Claire says proudly as she twirled the staff and aimed it at the paper, using all her might to throw the pointed head at the piece of paper Angor Rot so aimlessly held in front of the portal.
The staff pierced the paper, sending the spell through the portal with the staff, the Troll-hunting team watched as the staff sliced through the air and collided with the Heartstone, before the portal disappeared with us alone on a building with the assassin.
Angor suddenly roared in anger as he stalks up to us, I quickly stand in front of Claire and Toby with my hands glowing F/c.
"Stay back!" I yell, my voice wavering as I try and stand my ground.
"Don't hurt me!" Toby cried as he gripped onto my arm and Claire's hand.
Toby lost his balance on the edge as we all grab onto each other, screaming as we try and stay up right.
Claire had grabbed onto me as I had grabbed onto Toby, the boy hanging upside down from the roof and Angor had been the one to stop our fall as he grabbed onto the strap of Claire's bag. He raised his dagger ready to end our lives before freezing, instead swiping at Claire's bag as we all scream.
Claire thinking quickly and grabbing onto the banner that hung outside the school, gripping my arm as Toby hangs onto my leg. The banner hanging on by a thread but slowing our fall.
I look into the window to see all the kids partying, thankfully to busy to notice us hanging infront of them.
However, Claire was losing her grip on the sign, her eyes going up to meet Angor who watched with excitement, hand still gripping the bag.
Finally, Claire, Toby and I had dropped from the sign, screaming as we fell into a nearby tree within the courtyard of our school.
"Ow!" Claire groans.
"Uh! That hurt!" Toby whines.
"I am so done with almost dying!" I exclaim as I stand up, groaning as every part of my body hurts.
"I'll be seeing you again, soon!" Angor roars before running away, leaping from the rooftops before disappearing completely.
Claire, Toby and I flopped to the ground, catching our breaths and finally out of trouble. Except, we had landed right back in front of Miss. Janeth and Coach Lawrence.
The flashlight covered Toby's distressed form and Coach's voice made us sit straight up.
"You three again? Oh, yeah, just 'getting some airrr' Right, Back to the dance!" Coach yells.
————<•>————
Us three sat on the bleachers, not mingling or dancing but pouting instead. Toby had his arms folded as he watched the nearby dancers, seeming unpleased with our current situation.
"Great, Now what?" Toby asks annoyed as i grumpily sit with my arms crossed.
"Why did Angor steal my purse?" Claire asks confused.
"Maybe he's broke" I shrug making Claire glare at me.
Toby had no answer but his phone had gone off, startling the boy and causing him to gasp. He quickly pulled it from his pocket.
"Is it Jim?" I ask with wide eyes, desperate to know if it worked.
"Ooh! Hey! Looks like Doctor L is gonna be a-okay! Mission accomplished, am I right?" Toby exclaims, excitement written all over his face.
Claire claps excitedly as I smile, my smile flickering downwards as I watch couples dance. I sigh and cross my arms, my bad mood back all over again.
Toby suddenly stands in front of me with a smile as I raise an eyebrow at him.
"You know, I may not be Jim, but I can cut a rug like a jitterbug! Sorta" Toby chuckles as I smile at him.
"I would love too" I say as I also grab Claire's hand, deciding we can also just dance like idiots.
The three of us step onto the dance floor, Toby had suddenly froze, a gasp escaping his throat.
My eyes followed his, only to find the mole partying by themself but still enjoying the time. He gulped and Claire and I couldn't help but smile.
"Go dance with her. We both know you want to" Claire says as I nod my head.
"Me and Claire can just dance together" I say encouragingly.
"I don't know who 'her' is" Toby says nervously.
"Or if it even is a her" I mumble making Claire elbow me as I laugh.
"That's what makes it romantic" Claire says and lightly shoved him in the mole's direction. Toby awkwardly danced his way up to the mole's side, holding out a hand once he got close enough.
"They grow up so fast" I say as I put my hands on Claire's shoulder as we sway on the dance floor laughing.
"I feel like a proud parent" Claire says as I laugh.
Suddenly Senor Uhl had tapped the mic, freezing the dancers.
"Uh, hello? One, Two, Hello? ah" Senior Uhl says as we all crowd in front of the stage.
"It's now time for the moment you've been waiting for. Announcing the Queen and King of Spring Fling. This year's king is... Steve Palchuk" Senior Uhl says as Steve cheers loudly for himself.
"Who's the king? Say it!" Steve yelled.
"Steve Palchuk" A kid says in an annoyed voice.
"And this year's queen is none other than our... Darci Scott" Senior Uhl announces as I cheer loudly.
"Where's Darci? Is Darci here tonight?" He asks as everyone looks around the crowd.
Suddenly the mole takes off its head to reveal...Darci? Didn't see that one coming.
"So Toby's in love with Darci...?" I ask with wide eyes as we watch them talk.
"I don't know how to feel about this" Claire says with a stunned face.
Toby suddenly took her hand and led her up stage, very sweet of him.
A boy suddenly walked over to Claire with his hand out, a smile on his face.
"Would you like to dance?" He asks nervously as Claire looks from me to him with a shocked face.
"Yes she would!" I say with a smile as I push her forward.
Claire looks at me with wide eyes before going with it and taking the boys hand, leading him towards the dance floor as I watch with a smile.
Great, now everyone's coupled up but me.
I decided I need some fresh air so I leave the gym. As I finally feel the soft breeze hit my face I take a deep breath and sit down on the stairs, it was a lot quieter out here.
The silence didn't last long—and was instead replaced by the sound of a Vespa. My head perked up and I watch Jim get off his bike and make his way towards me with a nervous smile.
"Hey" He simply stated as he stands in front of me.
"Hey, how's your mum? Everything's okay?" I ask with wide eyes as he nods his head in confirmation.
"She's gonna be alright, thanks to you guys. She's not tied to Strickler anymore. But she won't remember much, you know" Jim says as I nod my head with a smile.
"I'm glad she's alright, and I'm glad your alright" I say as I smile at him.
"Yeah, I'm glad your alright too" Jim says as I laugh quietly before looking towards the gym where the music is coming from.
"You know...the dance isn't over yet" I remind him as I nod my head towards the gym.
"Uh, I just kinda want to get outta here, didn't want our first dance to be in a stupid gymnasium anyway" Jim says as my face falls, a bit hurt but going with it anyway.
"Oh...alright" I say as Jim handed me a spare helmet.
"But, I got some place else in mind" Jim says as I nod my head with a wide smile.
I grabbed the helmet as I slide on behind him, a small laugh escaping me. Once I gripped onto him, Jim kicked up the stand and drove away from the curb, turning once the light turned green.
We drove through the night, the street lights softly lighting up the path as I relaxed against him, smiling widely as I watched our surroundings as if this was my first time in Arcadia. My eyes drifted to the moon, smiling while Jim focused on the road.
I took in a breath of fresh air before leaning my head on Jim's shoulder, lifting it back up as I hear Jim laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" I ask, a wide smile on my face.
"I'm just happy, am I not allowed to be happy?" Jim asks with a chuckle as he quickly looks back at me.
"No, you must be miserable and depressed" I say with a roll of my eyes, leaning my head back on Jim's shoulder and tightening my grip on his waist.
Jim drove through the grass, reaching the familiar hilltop above the city which was covered in gorgeous lights.
When we were finally off the Vespa, Jim had played a romantic playlist in Spanish that made me laugh and let his phone rest on the seat. The two of us smiled fondly at one another before I wrap my arms around his neck lightly as his hands go around my waist. I laugh as Jim spin me around, the smile never leaving my face.
"Told you we could dance anywhere" I say as I look into his eyes.
"Your right as usual" Jim says with a fond smile.
"I know you'll be devastated, but you lost Spring Fling. Steve is our Spring King" I grimace, knowing Steve is going to be mentioning that until he dies.
"It's funny, I don't feel like a loser" Jim says as I laugh quietly.
"Ooo, smooth" I comment as I brush the hair out of his face from the wind, a red blush appearing on Jim's face as I smirk at him.
He spun me around as he sings to the music while I laugh the whole time, joining in on the parts I know.
I gasped when Jim playfully dipped me as he gave me a dorky smile that I have grown to absolutely adore.
We start to lean in, our faces almost touching before my phone suddenly rang as we jump apart.
"I'm so sorry!" I grimace as I answer the phone seeing as its Claire, putting the phone on speaker.
"This better be good Claire" I say grumpily.
"Y/n! I know why Angor stole my purse!" I hear her yell on the other end.
"What? Why?" I ask as I tap my foot impatiently, a tad annoyed she ruined me and Jim's almost kiss.
"He has the key to troll-market!" She yells before my phone dies and it hangs up, Jim and I standing there in shock.
"Oh fu-!"
