Trix’s first reaction was to recoil.
“… You poser.”
But the moment before her body reacted, her mind stepped in. His words weren’t meant for her. It wasn’t possible that she had been found out so soon. And with little to no evidence his statement would be little more than the gossip and rumors they joked about.
The way Zo kept taking, as if his “discovery” didn’t matter confirmed Trix’s earlier thought.
“First I was a bunny and now I’m a poser.” She huffed, relaxing the muscles in her body that had tensed at Zo’s use of the word. “A girl could really tickle herself pink with nicknames like those.” Trix teased using her best Scarlett O’Hara impersonation.
“If my mom were to ever say something like ‘You can do anything you want’ I ‘m pretty sure I would die of shock.” So many times in her life she had wished her life was different, that she could be who she wanted to be and not fear every choice she did have a chance at making.
Envy was an ugly word but seeing the ease of Zo’s life, the contentment of his lifestyle turned Trix green. It was a passing moment, to be jealous of someone else’s happiness was a horrible thing to feel and Trix properly chastised herself and turned her envy into wishes of continued bliss.
“Is that what made you start the band?” Trix sat up at that point and tried to look back towards the pier. She was enjoying just spending this time with Zo alone but he had other commitments tonight and she didn’t want to keep him from them. “Do we need to head back?” The sky was now a dusky dark violet, darkened with deep navy almost as dark as the night sky. In fact the first glitter of stars were starting to peek though the sparce cloud cover.
