Fancy Meeting You Here
A fifteen minute tech break is all Emily needs right now. Just a calm fifteen, where she can sneak off, rest her eyes, and eat some fucking lunch.
“We’re going to 7-11,” Ally says, trailing behind Brennan, Lou, and Zac who have gone ahead. “Do you want anything?”
”Three Musketeers, please!”
“Alright, bet!” Ally calls out, seeing Emily rush towards the bathroom.
”Fucking finally,” Emily mutters, lunchbox open on her lap. The session had been torturous. Forgetting breakfast was one thing, but Brennan talking about blood every other second was a little ridiculous. Jackass.
Her fangs drop, painlessly, and Emily sinks them into the thick mesh on one side of a blood bag. Ugh, this blood was definitely on Social Security, she thought to herself. But as quickly as she started, Emily finished her meal, tossing the bag in her lunchbox to recycle later.
The door slammed open not a moment after, and Emily froze. This was her secret bathroom! It was on the other side of the building, for crying out loud!
”ACHOO!” rang out a voice from the door, which was accompanied by a whooshing sound. The groan that followed confirmed Emily’s suspicions.
”Siobhan? Is that you? It’s Emily,” said Emily, feeling embarrassed to be calling out from inside a toilet stall.
”Oh! Oh, hi, um, can you not come out for a second?”
Emily narrowed her eyes. “Are you okay?”
”No, but it’s not something you can- ACHOO- help me with, oh dear god-“
Siobhan started to cough so hard it sounded like dust. Emily couldn’t stand hearing anyone in pain, so she burst out of the stall in time to see Siobhan’s panicked face, right before she-
ACHOO!
And Emily watched bright white flames come out of Siobhan’s mouth and nose. They both blinked, and then Emily calmly washed her hands
“Oh, wow, did you have spicy food for lunch?” Emily replied, playing it off as she tried to move on.
”Um, no, but I’m sure you want to know about-“
”No, not really,” Emily interrupted, washing her hands and grabbing her lunchbox. “Listen, I’ll let you do what you gotta do, and I’ll probably be sitting at the table, so come sit with me then!”
Siobhan closed her eyes and sighed.
Emily cursed to herself as she walked out, fully knowing her fangs had dropped when Siobhan blew fire.
