✶ IRL!

"LET'S FUCKING GO!"

destiny bursts out laughing as ruben is quick to scream after landing his first ping pong ball into one of the red solo cups set out on the table in front of them. she exchanges giggles with jordan as ruben and the other guy on their team—some friend of jordans—double high-five.

their opposing team of adora, matt, nate, and some guy on the football team is clearly amused at ruben's dramatics, as they're all still comically in the lead. "alright, you're still losing, champ," matt cuts in when ruben continues celebrating, only halting at the sound of his voice. "maybe you should take one of the water shots this time."

destiny and adora share an amused look from across the table, matt's reference referring to the water shots he and jordan have been taking in place of alcohol. as ruben scoffs in offense, adora decides to teasingly chime in at the sound of nick's giggles on the sidelines, "maybe your plan to take a shot anytime anyone scores wasn't the smartest..."

ruben narrows his eyes at the girl on the other end of the table. "bitch, i'm levitating," he tells her proudly, only creating more laughter throughout the group.

"yeah..." nick gains the groups attention from his spot on top of the island counter next to the kitchen table their current beer pong game is set up on. he has been sitting up there watching the game instead of playing for a while, but it's not until destiny is getting a good look at his position now that she's noticing the boy with dreads next to him. the pair are scooted towards each other a little too much not to pick up on, and she wonders how long they were talking for before she became aware of it. "that's kind of the problem, rube."

adora seems to notice the lingering boy at nick's side as well, because her and destiny both raise their eyebrows. the two then nod at each other, grinning at the fact that they picked up on his game at the same time. definitely a group chat topic later, perhaps for when ruben is sober enough to have coherent thoughts.

as the game continues on and nate begins his turn, destiny feels an arm wrap around her shoulders. she feels butterflies shoot off in her stomach as she recognizes the subtle cologne before jordan appears at her side. she's starting to notice just how good he smells, is that weird? she doesn't get a chance to think about it before he leans down to whisper, "tell me why i'm pretty sure nick's gonna get with my guy elijah?"

"elijah?" destiny questions as she leans back into jordan's touch, her eyes following back to nick and the guy in question. "is that who that is?" she asks, never having heard the name before. she figures it's someone jordan knows.

"yeah, just look at 'em," jordan responds with a chuckle, his eyes on the pair as well.

"oh, i already noticed," destiny says knowingly, prying her eyes off of them just as nate lands his shot. destiny presses her lips together as the other team breaks out into cheers, adora bumping chests with nate and causing matt to laugh before he goes for a fist bump instead. nate's still pissing her off, but she's trying to pretend he's not, just for the sake of the party. she knows he's only turned out right, but that only unfairly upsets her more. she blows a huff of air from her lips. "we're so losing."

"shhh," jordan teasingly shushes her, causing her to amusedly roll her eyes as he lowers his arm from her shoulders and the pair come to stand face-to-face instead. "i'm trying to ignore that, des."

she sighs, glancing at ruben on the other side of her before pointing towards him. "his fault," she pinpoints the blame.

jordan raises his eyebrows. "no chance you just threw your guy under the bus like that," he jokes.

"sue me," destiny shrugs.

jordan chuckles, glancing from the girl to the game behind her. when he notices eyes are on them, he clears his throat and takes matters into his own hands by reaching forward to spin destiny around. she blinks in surprise at the opposing team staring right back at her. "it's your turn," jordan explains, taking a step back.

"oh!" she snaps out of it, stepping forward into the area meant to take shots from. she clears her throat from the end of the table, reaching to grab a ping pong ball and attempting not to feel bothered with all the stares currently fixated on her. she has not made a single shot so far in the game. everyone's been bearing with her since sports have never been her strong suit, but this is only beer pong, and she's starting to fear everyone must think she's seriously the worst player alive.

after rolling around the ball in her hand, she looks up to the cups on the table, but not without feeling the heat of a specific stare. immediately, her eyebrows draw together on her forehead as her head whips around to search for the reasoning of feeling such a special gaze. she's not sure what's created her ability to seperate chris' stare from the rest—perhaps all the years she dedicated to longing for him—but her suspicions are confirmed the second she takes a further look into the kitchen. she spots him leant against the fridge, his eyes darker and more squinted than she's used to, but still somehow easy to decipher from her distance away. her lips twist downwards at the sight of his hat falling onto his forehead due to his disheveled hair, but her attention is quickly taken from him and to his side instead once she notices the girl clinging to his arm. she's talking about something but chris is being his typical self, and his attention is elsewhere. destiny's expression sours as she pulls her eyes back to the table in front of her, feeling more sick than insecure knowing she's being watched by him.

the pair haven't spoken at all today. they actually haven't interacted since the last conversation they had through imessage. although destiny truly meant every word she said, she hadn't expected chris to comply so easily with her casting him out of her life. avoiding conversations with him has been much easier than she expected though, and it's due to him making it so.

predictably, destiny decided to begin catching rides with jordan to and from school, so she no longer has to worry about seeing chris in the mornings or the afternoons. he didn't show up with matt to take her to work, and he went back to the seat he had taken alone in their class together when they were first arguing. jordan also had to talk to his football coach during lunch today, and since destiny just ended up tagging along and meeting some of his friends, she didn't have to worry about avoiding chris in the cafeteria. it's just been... easier than she thought it would be. and judging by the girl on chris' side already, it has been for him too.

she's still coming to terms with the fact that that's probably for the better. now, she needs to focus.

just as she gets in position to make her first throw, jordan steps forward. "wait," he stops her, the group groaning. destiny curiously turns her head as he walks over to her.

"bro, you better not be seriously trying to cheat right now," nate's grumble catches destiny's attention first, and he ignores her glare as he directs his comment towards jordan.

"i'm not," jordan denies, turning away from them and focusing on destiny when he gently takes ahold of her wrist. she's confused as to what he's doing when he readjusts her hand, changing the way that she is holding the ball and redirecting her aim. she blinks in surprise, and jordan backs away with a grin. "alright, you've got this, des," he encourages her now.

destiny nods her head, pulling her eyes from him and trying her best to focus on making it in. the last thing she registers is the opposing team's eyes on her and the dirty feeling of chris' stare before she lets fear get the best of her and closes her eyes before throwing the ball. she's sure she's missed again when immediately, she hears ruben scream in her ear, "YOU DID IT, BITCHHH."

automatically, her eyes are open as a triumphant grin breaks out on her face. she registers nate amusedly shaking his head, matt chuckling, and adora celebrating with ruben like they're on the same team before she feels hands on her waist and her feet leave the ground. she genuinely believes she is floating for a fleeting moment before jordan cheers, "YEAHH." she suddenly understands what ruben was so enthusiastic for earlier as jordan sets her back down on the ground. she feels like a million bucks. "i knew you could do it," he says more quietly as their team is still celebrating just one point.

"i couldn't have without you," she responds with a wide grin, the adrenaline she feels assisting her in having the courage to take a closer step towards him.

jordan notices her closer distance and raises his eyebrows, the corner of his mouth turning upwards. "yeah?" he says, reaching forward to smoothly slide his arms around her torso. when destiny only nods, her smile growing more bashful, he begins to lean in. she decides to allow herself to close her eyes and forget all about her surroundings, getting transfixed in her own overwhelming contentment at momentarily forgetting about chris.

as soon as his lips meet hers though, that's all her head can conjure up. the pair of eyes burning into her backside are louder than the softness of jordan's lips on hers, and it is immediately everything she feared all at once. goosebumps rise on her arms in the worst way and luckily, the moment she should be enjoying is interrupted before it can be ruined any longer.

"woaaaa-"

"in front of nate is kind of cra-"

"does she even still need a sho-"

"guys," the random friend of jordan's on their team is the first to actually ruin the moment, destiny immediately sighing as jordan takes a step back from her. his friend pats his shoulder as he looks back and forth from the two of them. "you're supposed to be locked in right now."

"right, right," jordan kisses his teeth, sharing an amused look with destiny to which she reluctantly returns. she's trying her best not to feel crushed right now, and her act seems to be holding up well. he ultimately looks back to his friends and steps away with a sigh, "my fault."

destiny blinks repeatedly for the small moment she is left by herself, only getting a few seconds to register what just happened before her energetic friend appears at her side. "DES!" ruben exclaims, bumping into her as she instantly grows entertained with his obviously plastered self. "do you still want your shot?"

"fuck yeah i still want my shot," she responds without a doubt, honestly feeling that she needs it now.

ruben grins at her choice of answer, instantly gesturing towards the kitchen. "don't forget to go grab it."

destiny raises her eyebrows, hoping her guarded expression disguises the way that her heart drops in her chest. the kitchen, her mind repeats, of course. she hastily looks over that way, and her eyes are immediately drawn to where she knows chris is stood—or at least he was. she subconsciously frowns at his sudden disappearance, glancing all around the kitchen and still coming up short although she knows she felt his gaze on her previously. she decides not to think on it however, and clears her throat.

"right," she suddenly looks back to ruben. "who is that other guy on our team again?" she asks, just wondering.

ruben only shrugs. "started with a K, or something."
