They say a picture's worth a thousand words, but even millions couldn't begin to properly describe the ceaseless beauty of the woman I loved. Her words flowed like a river from her mouth to my ears, convincing me for once that I might have someone to call my own. Earlier that day Isaac had pointed it out, and since then it dawned on me how right he was.
Of course, now we weren't at school, and I saw as much a chance as did Danny. I saw it out of the corner of my eyes, them heading downstairs to grab dinner, and I stopped Pandora outside the kitchen as we listened to them talk.
Michael initiated it, and it was pathetic hearing him stumble as he spoke, "So, uhh... you ever seen Fantasia?"
Pandora and I smirked, and simply by mouthing our thoughts at each other did we agree on one thing: Subtle, Michael.
"Come on, you know I don't really watch movies."
"I know, but it's about music, so I thought maybe you'd seen it."
"Oh, no. Heard it's good."
I glanced at Pandora as she mouthed,"Wait, he's not picking up on that."
"Idiots."
"It's pretty great. They made animations to accompany classical pieces of music."
"Michy, don't fuck this up..."
"Uhh... Aren't old cartoons usually set to classic tunes, or at least orchestral stuff anyways?"
"No, Fantasia's different, they're not all cartoony and silly, only a couple of them are. The others are kind of interpretive."
"Huh, interesting."
"Yeah, we should watch it sometime."
I heard the bathroom door unlock and spun on my heel to see Isaac opening it from the other side. Oh no.
"Yeah, I bet Pandora would enjoy it."
Both Pandora and I were quietly heading towards the bathroom door to stop Isaac, who shoved right past us with a confused look. We reached out to grab him, but a moment too late.
"Well, I meant more like... You and-"
Isaac killed it. "What're you guys talkin' about?"
I smacked my head against the wall, "Isaac, you idiot!"
Pandora groaned, "You'd think someone with an IQ of a hundred and eighty would be smarter."
