The first time I saw her was in Chemistry class, dolling dragons (based on the cover of the notebook that was covered with them) all over the notebook that was open in front of her. The notebook looked extremely worn, one that looks like should be thrown away, most of the cover had fallen off to reveal the white cardboard. Which were filled with the said dragons, and the pages were yellowed like an old book that was read so much in the sun. She noticed me staring at her or she was done with what she was doing. When she looked up at me her brown eyes looking into mine I knew I was done for. They seemed to analysing everything about me physically and emotionally. Stripping me apart with the most patience and care but more quickly than one should be able to do. It was thrilling.
Trying my best to not look like some weird freak (or maybe it was too late with how she analyzed him or she knew the truth) I went over with a smile gracing my face. Once I was seated next to her I could see that I was right. Dragons were sculpted over the page in a certain section cut off from the text.
“What’s that about?” I ask ponting to the picture and then the text around it. Her face was now lightly dusted with red from the question, she then scratched her head that was short. It looked buzzed down though longer to make a bang effect of the front of her hair to make it looked gelled down.
“Well, I was um writing. . .” She paused looking at me like she didn’t want to say anything more. I nodded and smiled, trying to convince her that I won’t judge. Though it does make me wonder what it is more with a touch of concern about it. “. . .fanfiction.” The girl says quickly then just as fast looks down at the notebook. She was turning so red her freckles become less prominent.
“Oh, well that is cool. What are you um writing? Or well I should say what um, what do you call it? Universe?” I ramble more then I wanted to. I did not want under any circumstances for her to think that I think she is some weirdo. Though the opposite seem to happen since she started giggling at me and it was now my turn for my seemingly entire body to turn red.
“Fandom. The word you are looking for is fandom. Which just basically means what you said. What fandom am I writing for. But thanks for tyring to figure it out. It is the Harry Potter universe. Though I have written some for Percy Jackson, and the MCU. Oh, you might not know what the MCU if you don’t know what fandom is. MCU is just basically the Marvel movies but you know the order they go in.” She rambled out and looked like she wanted to talk more but stopped herself. “Sorry I am just throwing things at you and you don’t even know my name or introduce myself. My name is Ace. What about you?”
I blinked. WIth the that the sentence it was the understatement of the universe that I was not expect this. But never the less I put my out my hand. “My name is Ray.”
