[color=slategray][i]"That worthless girl! She's probably spent the night with one of her stupid boy toys."[/i][/color] she thought to herself. She placed her phone back into her purse and decided to go out for some coffee. There was no use being cooped up in her room. It wouldn't do her or the rest of her peers any good. She retouched her hair and make up one last time in the bathroom before heading out. She had to look [i]perfect[/i]. It was her first day back on campus after all. As she left her apartment, she saw a guy who was definitely tall and dark, maybe handsome even, and a much smaller, cute girl walking towards her. Mala had to nudge at Gabriel's side to get him to notice Ashley, who was quickly rushing into the personal space of the two. The boy, so lost in his thoughts, had to look up and sidestep to avoid running down the girl. [color=#6DB224]"'Suse me."[/color] He replied in that signature flat tone of his. He didn't take much of her features into regard, but the wood nymph couldn't help but notice the excess of makeup the girl was wearing. As the duo danced and dodged their way past her, Mala took her chance to comment. "What's with human girls and the face paint? It can't be healthy." She mumbled. Gabe shrugged, naturally. [color=#6DB224]"I'm not a female. I wouldn't know."[/color] He mumbled back. Ashley winced, not quite comprehending the fact that they just walked right by her without paying much attention to her. She was not used to being ignored ever and that did not feel very good. Did they just not realize who she was? She was Ashley Hart, the most beautiful of Aphrodite's children and because Aphrodite's children were more beautiful than all the other demigods, the most beautiful person in the academy. That has to be a serious offense and Ashley would just have to educate them. She caught up to them in no time and stood right in front of the two ignorant strangers. [color=slategray]"Hello. I don't believe we have met. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Ashley. Daughter of Aphrodite,"[/color] she said, concealing her annoyance with a warm smile. Gabe was hesitant to answer. If anything, he got a better look at Ashley as she went out of her way to stop the two. [color=#6DB224][i]"She's kinda cute, at least."[/i][/color] She didn't get much of a rise out of him otherwise. Mala, on the other hand, enjoyed the assertiveness the Aphrodite child was displaying and felt the need to act on it. For Gabe's sake, at the least. "Annnnnd this~!" She presented her companion. "Is Gabriel Emile Aeckard!" She was a half step away from doing a little jig and fluttering jazz hands to introduce him. Gabe might've looked as if she just kicked his puppy. [color=#6DB224]Call me Gabe."[/color] He stated, having no choice [i]but[/i] to give Ashley his attention, now that the wood nymph eagerly put him on the spot. Least he could do, is return the favor for his nymph friend. [color=#6DB224]"This is Fraxinus Anomala, the [i]Dwarf[/i] Ash-"[/color] He was interrupted by a elbow to the ribs, courtesy the aformentioned dryad. "Just call me Mala~" She greeted on her own, her bubbly tone easily contrasting Gabriel's. [color=slategray]"Gabe and Mala. Nice to meet you both. Are you two new? I've been going here for a while so I don't see too many unfamiliar faces,"[/color] said Ashley. If she actually had a heart she might have thought that the bond between Gabe and Mala was cute. It was a kind of friendship that even she could not fake nor understand. She could tell that Gabe was more on the quiet side while Mala was more outgoing. She did not seem like a demigoddess though, but Ashley paid no mind to that. [color=slategray][i]"An interesting pair."[/i][/color] "Yeah, Gabe's only been here a couple'a weeks. He's been trying his best to keep himself out of the gossip of Lovechilds." Mala replied. Gabriel raised an eyebrow at the claim. "But, I think he [i]should[/i] be getting involved in those things, right?" She continued, leaning in towards Ashley. "He could use a little spice to his life, something other than constantly fighting. It would [i]really[/i] get 'im out of his shell." She obviously whispered. Gabriel sighed, beginning to divert his gaze elsewhere. [color=#6DB224]"You're embarrassing."[/color] He was more flustered than he let on. Ashley was amused and soon forgot that she was upset with them in the first place. [color=slategray]"You two are so funny,"[/color] she could not help but chuckle. [color=slategray]"I wouldn't mind helping out with that,"[/color] she added in a more seductive tone. She smiled more innocently, dispelling the mood before she could scare him off. Mala picked up on the flirt a bit more postively than Gabriel did. "Eh, ehh?" She nudged him again, a bit more playful this time. Gabe exchanged flat expressions between the two girls. [color=#6DB224]"...You take care, Ashley."[/color] He replied simply, resuming off towards their destination before his face could flush red. Mala could only chuckle. "Hey, that wasn't a no, was it? Guess we'll be seeing you around, Ms. Hart~!" She added, before beginning after Gabriel. Ashley waved goodbye as the two continued on their journey to who knows where. [color=slategray][i]"Well, that was one way to spend a couple minutes. Oh, I almost forgot about my coffee."[/i][/color] She then went in another direction where the cafe was located.
