elevator chats.

Amy’s Outfit

-x-

Amy had spent the majority of the day hanging around with Todd. He was finally given a day off with his ridiculous schedule and unfortunately, their other two bffs hadn’t had time to join them. Amy was using Todd to practice for her performance in Max’s class – though he wasn’t a participant, it was eays to dance with him. Unfortunately, Amy knew that she was also in the class with Mason, who she didn’t know why he’d taken the class. He would have known that she took the class, right? It was her best friend’s class! So that was probably why.

She didn’t notice anyone on the elevator and walked in, listening to music on her phone. She hut the button for her friend’s floor towards the top of the building and turned to the persons he was stuck with.

”Good after—“ she froze when she saw Mason and blinked. Her face felt and she tried to squash the feelings of guilt that tried to arise in her chest. ”Hi, Mason.” She said, less brightly, as she moved to put her headphone back in.

Of course, Mason wanted to chat. Amy smiled but very clearly wanted the elevator to stop soon. Unfortunately it looked like they both of them were heading up to a top floor – and she was getting off before he was.

”I’ve been fine, thanks.” She said. When he started to talk about how much he missed her Amy felt that guilt sink in again. She felt uncomfortable as she looked at the rising floors. She hoped someone else would get on the elevator – but no one did. It remained just them. ”Look, we’re exes, it’s not healthy to keep talking.” She said. When he mentioned joining a dance class she exhaled. ”Yeah, I saw. Of course you picked my best friend’s class.”

Was he in another class? Maybe – Max’s class didn’t meet today. Amy looked back at the elevator buttons.

Amy sighed, again, and looked at Mason. He really was sincere. She didn’t hate him after what happened. She just didn’t know what they’d do if they went to being friends. Towards the end, all it seemed to be was physical between them.

”Nashville? That sounds exciting. I’m sure you’ll find lots of girls out there,” She said, giving him a playful wink. ”I don’t mind being friends again. I just don’t want to lead you on or let you think I might want to try again someday, Mason. Right now I just don’t know if I want to. So. Friends?”
