[color=#b7b7b7]It was strange being Kavi Antonio Salvador right now. This has been the longest he’s ever gone without talking to anyone who wasn’t here or working his game on some unsuspecting girl who might not even know he spotted them. Of course, he could have just easily and swooped in on Jasper’s attempt to woo that Danielle girl. Compared to him, Jasper was cute but not hot like Kavi knew himself to be, but then again, when he overheard them talking and Lil J doing his best to work up the courage, Kavi only smiled and continued on.[/color]

[color=#008080]“Way to subvert everybody’s expectations of your game, Jay,”[/color][color=#b7b7b7] Kavi muttered to himself, hands in pockets as he played spectator to the entire dance.[/color]

[color=#b7b7b7]He watched them like he was a ghost, like he was a literal spectre, watching them, observing them, seeing his friends and his acquaintances mingle amongst themselves. He saw Max rush out and Chrissie go to the bathroom. He saw the two hot lesbians dart out in each other’s arms and then he saw Mari and Sonny leave hand in hand. He saw Stella and Carter dance like they had no control over it, then park themselves at the edge of the beverage table in the back of the room. [/color]

[color=#b7b7b7]Kavi saw all of his classmates enjoy themselves, he witnessed all of the events of laughter and happiness unfold before his very eyes. [/color]

[color=#b7b7b7]Even Ariel was having fun.[/color]

[color=#b7b7b7]She was probably the only person who ever made him feel something...[b][i]real[/i][/b], was striking up a similar conversation that Jasper did with Dani but with Sawyer Lockwood. He, of course, didn’t hear them, but he didn’t have to because he remembered that look. [/color][i][color=#008080]She used to look at me like that.[/color][/i]

[color=#b7b7b7]Ariel had a tell that Kavi locked onto the first time they met. It wasn’t so much a physical tell but the way she laughed. She had a cute tone of voice and it kind of cracked when she was into someone. Kavi knew that because every time they talked before things got bad, her voice cracked when he made a joke or just said something mildly inappropriate. All of the things that Kavi was going to miss, that was just an example of the number of reasons why he’ll miss her: her laugh, her ability to make him feel on top of the world while keeping him grounded.[/color]

[color=#b7b7b7]Not like I have any right, but..[/color]

[color=#b7b7b7]But nope, she looked happy. That’s all Kavi ever wanted. It didn’t matter if it was with him. So taking one last look around the dancefloor, Kavi took in the sights of friendship and love, seeing the couples either getting their last dances in or just getting started and he turned away, heading for the parking lot.[/color]

[color=#b7b7b7]And once there, he smiled, spotting Ariana and Chrissie--well, more in the sense that Ariana was crying in Chrissie’s arms. Again, he simply observed and didn’t interact -he didn’t need to. Chrissie had it handled and again, like with Ariel, he smiled. [/color]

[color=#b7b7b7]Standing there, Kavi was fighting against the part of him that wanted to leave them be and the part of him that wanted to see if they needed a ride. Chrissie looked like she had it handled, but Ariana was a friend and he considered Chrissie to be one too. But then again, who was to say they wanted his company?[/color]

[color=#008080]“Fuck it!”[/color]

[color=#b7b7b7]Kavi was walking even before he made up his mind and was a few feet away from them. [/color][color=#008080]“Seems like you both are just about as done with the dance as I am.”[/color][color=#b7b7b7] He laughed off his less-than-enthusiastic tone. [/color][color=#008080]“I was gonna jet out. You two want a ride to...wherever it is you wanna go? My ride’s got plenty of room--”[/color][color=#b7b7b7] His eyes went directly to Chrissie [/color][color=#008080]“--as I’m sure you know.”[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
