“ Full disclosure, I did unintentionally make someone…” she trailed off for just a moment trying to find the right word. “Let’s just go with… a little upset… because they tripped and I took advantage of them being vulnerable and eliminated them from laser tag. ” She explained knowing there was a chance someone could misconstrue that as she had tripped that person, but they didn’t have proof that that is what had happened. It was a dark room, anyone can trip in any way, didn’t make it her fault. “ In my defense though, if you can’t handle a competition or… ya know… a winner… friendship or dating wise we would have problems in the future so at least ya know upfront, am I right? ”
Laurel wiped the beads of sweat dripping down her forehead before re-tightening her ponytail. She chugged whatever was left in her refillable water bottle before dropping down beside Eevee. Laurel had always been competitive. Perhaps it was due to always needing to catch up with her older sister, but she also enjoyed the thrill of winning or losing. “You’re speaking my language, hot stuff,” Laurel said, nodding in agreement. “I actually saw you trip that person--needless to say they looked like they were gonna cry home to their parents. I knew I made the right decision in choosing you as my celebrity crush.” She toggled with the green button she had pinned to her t-shirt. \

“ oh for the love of… ” eevee hissed out into the air to no one in particular, voice full of obvious annoyance as she leaned down to for what felt like the hundredth time today scratch the side of her ankle with the newfound bug bite. “ am i the only one gettin’ bit by little ninja mosquitos this summer? Like, is my blood that delicious or are they just out here bein’ outta control? “
laurel paused with a small smirk on her face--needless to say she was a little starstruck. she knew eevee masters lived here in portland but never she thought luck would be on her side to run into her. “mosquitos are normally attracted to high body temperature. take it as a compliment that you’re literally just that hot.” she smiled. “my husband and i were obsessed with your show. we binge-watched the entire first season together in one night.” laurel’s voice lowered as she reminisced that he wasn’t around for the rest of them.
