Welcome to another Sunday

Writing Warriors. Here, writers in
different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and
read our snippets.
Two Freebies are listed at the end of the post.
Remember Toby – the tough gangster
with the tattoo of a black cat leaping up his biceps? Estelle met him over the
summer and heard his voice when she was pinned in a weird cylinder in the
Veterinary Clinic. Now Estelle and her friend Diane meet Toby at university.

(Some
creative punctuation to fit.)
Diane pinched her arm and
whispered, “Introduce me.”
Rolling her eyes, Estelle said,
“My friend’s Diane Stewart.”
“Hi Diane.” He glanced at her
eager face, and apparently unimpressed, his gaze quickly returned to Estelle.
“I’m in Engineering. Got to run; next class starts in a minute. See you
around.” He strode away without a backward glance, walking across the lawn with
a slight swagger in his stride, as if he knew they were watching.
“Great tattoos,” Diane squealed.
“He can bump into me any time.”

Oh, interesting that he's not at all attracted to Diane. I'm sure that's unusual for both Estelle and her friend. But it sounds like she'll be seeing him again. Maybe he'll have some answers for her.
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea.
DeleteIt's pretty obvious that he has eyes only for Estelle. I think it will be difficult for him to keep his head in his responsibility to her. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey both keep cool heads in book 1 - too busy fighting killers.
DeleteSo is this a good guy or bad guy? It's unclear right now ... which is good.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. Estelle is suspicious, although not immune to his attractions.
DeleteOf COURSE he knows they're watching. He's trouble. In a good way? Nice tease.
ReplyDeleteHe's the bad boy biker who isn't. Estelle has to peel away the layers of mystery.
DeleteDiane sounds horrid!
ReplyDeleteAnd Toby is the best kind of trouble!
Nicely done, Aurora
Thanks! Diane is a stauncher friend than appears in this scene.
DeleteSounds like Diane isn't taking the hint. Engineering, huh? Toby becomes more intriguing with each snippet.
ReplyDeleteYes. Estelle discovers two more of his secrets during the book.
DeleteI'm not sure which I love more -- his dismissive lack of interest in Diane or the fact that she is totally clueless about it.
ReplyDeleteDiane is used to being the center of attraction. But, Toby is also used to being ogled and bored with those girls.
DeleteNice little vignette of campus life, enjoyed the snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks - this story intersperses normal life with the supernatural.
DeleteDiane seems oblivious to his disinterest. I wonder what that could mean?
ReplyDeleteThe sentence limits did not allow me to show the rest. Diane is enthusiastic but not dumb.
DeleteHe doesn't have much use for Diane who doesn't seem to get it. I bet she doesn't play second fiddle too often.
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteI wonder how long it will take Diane to realize he's not into her, how she'll respond, and what that will mean for Estelle. ;)
ReplyDeleteThey're still friends.
DeleteI'm really liking Toby! Can't wait to see what trouble he gets Estelle into. ;-)
ReplyDelete~Joyce Scarbrough
She finds trouble by herself!
DeleteLOL! I nearly facepalmed at Diane's obvious lack of realization that he's not into her at all. I love that he isn't though, speaks of character that he isn't drawn by her looks like everyone else. I think he's going to try to get Estelle alone next time.
ReplyDeleteNot quite. They next meet during an attack by the villain.
ReplyDeleteLOL ... what a great last line.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeletePoor Diane, he is obviously not interested. At least not in her, lol.
ReplyDeleteOf course. She doesn't have superpowers.
