A mask to hide in...(Full)

"I will not."  

[ArterialCaucus]

Twyla sighed. "Fine. I'll see you tomorrow." She turned and left him standing alone. Outside, she breathed in the cold late fall air, then turned and began walking down the sidewalk.  

[Sorijin]

Well, at least i am not gay.
Tamwyn thought next morning on his way to work.

As usual, Twyla was changed and ready to go to work the next morning before anyone else got there. She bumped into Tamwyn on her way out. She sent him a glare that said remember yesterday, or else, then returned her happy face as she entered and cleaned up a little.  

[Sorijin]

Tamwyn spent the rest of that day in his office, thinking about Twyla...
Do I like her? Wierd, I just met him, er, her...  

[xXBisexual FlanXx]

Twyla was happy at the cashier. Other than talking about stuff and getting hit on, she really didn't have to do anything but math. And she was GOOD at math. She didn't much like it, but it was easy. Today had been much easier and relaxed than yesterday, as she was the only person actually willing to do math for a day. At the end, she did what she had done the day before:Stall until everyone else had gotten changed and left. This time, she checked around carefully for Tam(Who knows? He could be a peeping Tom, and that was why he hadn't ratted her out yet.)before she got undressed and changed. Same as always, same black turtleneck, same torn jeans, same hand-me-down sneakers.

That night, Tamwyn had dreams about Twyla. She turned from Twyla, to Ed, then back again. A voice kept saying, Do I like her?

The next day went by quickly. Twyla had been up since 6 making breakfast, and now had to rush to get to work on time. It was colder that morning, so she wore her brother's old coat to work. She figured she could stop glaring at Tam, since he hadn't given her away yet, and she could probably be friends with him. After all, he was a pretty nice guy. It wasn't his fault he had walked in on her.  

[Sorijin]

Tamwyn tried to avoid Twlya that day. He didn't like her glaring all the time, like he was about to pull a gun on her.  

[xXBisexual FlanXx]

But no one, not even Tam, could avoid Twyla when she wanted to make some sort of apology gesture. Every time she walked by him, which wasn't very often, she gave him one of her better smiles. It wasn't very good, as her brother had let her know many times, but supposedly, it was better than her 'haugty' look.  

[ArterialCaucus]

((Bump?))  

[Sorijin]

[[sry bout that]

Tam was kinda scared of Twyla by the end of the day. She kept flashing her smiles. It was wierd.
I DON'T LOVE HER. he kept repeating that to himself.  

[ArterialCaucus]

((S'kay. I haven't been on in forever myself.))

Twyla finished up counting the money, then hurried off to get changed. When she got outside, she looked around, then went running towards her house. She didn't know why, but she was really nervous about talking to Tam, who she knew would be there, waiting for her or something, again.  

[Sorijin]

Tamwyn was driving down the street after work, and he noticed Twyla walking down the street. He slowed down. He didn't want her to see him. He saw her walk into a house, for some reason, he couldn't move. Her hair was flowing behind her. She walked into a house. He never understood why, but he parked his Scion on the street, then walked up to her house. He looked around, then knocked on the door.  

[xXBisexual FlanXx]

Twyla had just decided to make curry and had tied up her hair when someone knocked on the door. In a 5 second frenzy she usually went into when someone was at the door, she kicked most of the dirt under the table, pushed the dishes into the sink, and piled up most of the newspaper in the middle of the table instead of being all spread out like it usually was. On her way to the door, she picked up her father's ashtray and emptied the cigarette butts into the garbage. Only then could she answer the door. She had a bucket of water in her hand, in case of door to door salesmen thinking they could make some sort of sale at a house like this. It was one of those crappy, 4 or 5 room, one floor houses, and no way in hell did they have the money to buy anything extra.

She took the handle and opened the door. "Yes?" She stared blankly at the boy in front of her. "Tam? Can I help you?"
