"ron-sama"? O_o i'm just weird...
i've been working on my untitled original... i wrote one scene today, one that just popped into my mind very vividly... i mean, the dialogue just popped in, i still had to work my brain to death trying to come up with accurate descriptions for everything. it came out waaaaaaay too angsty, IMHO. what do you guys think?

Tori was helping Alex in the broadcast room when Niko burst in, looking every inch like a rabid dog.
“Is it true?” he exclaimed, looking at her with wide eyes.
“Man, not now, I’m about to go on air...” Alex tried to stop the argument he knew would erupt before his school-wide radio show suffered the consequences. It wasn’t often that Tori and Niko stopped being all lovey-dovey long enough to have a real fight, but their few arguments could get nasty pretty quickly. They guessed it was because they cared about each other so much, but they could only speculate...
Niko didn’t even stop to think about anything other than what he wanted to say. “Linus asked you to the graduation dance and you said yes?”
Tori looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a truck. “Well... yes.”
“Why?!” Niko didn’t even have time to breathe after he heard her admission; the need to raise his voice just came right out. “I don’t get you!”
Alex discreetely fixed the equipment to announce that the calls would start coming in a while later. He put on music and got the microphone away from the feuding couple. He didn’t want to get caught in the crossfire, much less for the whole school to find out.
“Well, you don’t need to get like this. It’s not like you’re my boyfriend!” Tori shot him. At that, even Alex cringed. That was definitely low.
“Well, that’s not for my lack of trying, now is it?!” he spat back, feeling like he was being walked all over. Why was she doing this? He knew she didn’t want everybody to find out about their relationship but this was pushing it too far.
Tori kept silent for a few moments, berating herself for having hurt him more. She truly didn’t want to, she didn’t even know why she had said yes... “Listen, what did you want me to do? I couldn’t just reject him for no reason at all!”
“You could’ve rejected him because you’re going with me!”
“Are you crazy?! I don’t want everybody to find out I’ve been sleeping around!”
Even she gasped when she heard what she had said. It almost felt like an out-of-body experience; like she was outside looking in and was unable to grab her own attention to keep these harsh words from coming out of her mouth. But she was confused... she couldn’t even explain her own actions to herself, much less try to explain them to him. But whatever had happened, she truly did not mean to hurt him.
Niko, on the other hand, felt like she had ripped his heart out of his chest and stomped on it. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He never knew she could think so lowly of their... of what they had shared... it was important to him, so important, but it obviously wasn’t for her. He saw her take her hands to her mouth, tears already forming in her eyes, while she muttered incessantly: “I didn’t mean that, I’m sorry, I didn’t...” He couldn’t react any other way than exploding, though. He could feel the blood rushing to his head...
“Wha--? You’re not sleeping around! You’re only sleeping with ME and... and up to this point I thought it was because you cared about me.”
The crack in his voice broke her heart. She felt wretched; confronted with the awful way she was making him feel, she felt like she couldn’t stand to be in his presence anymore. Anything she could say wouldn’t be enough to say how sorry she was. So she ran out in tears, leaving Alex to change the songs by himself and Niko to stand there, trying to remain strong though his heart was torn in pieces.
Alex looked up at his best friend, who was pale, and his fists clenched tight and shaking, but couldn’t find anything to say. He really wasn’t one for the whole feelings deal so, knowing Niko would understand that he was just worried about him, he settled for whatever came first.
“Dude, you’re such a girl.”
Niko gave him the finger and stalked out of the broadcast room.
