Medusa was excited! Her friend had just set her up on a blind date. She put on her best dress, and walked to the restaurant proudly.
Nevermind all the boys she had turned to stone with just one look at her grey eyes. Nevermind all the guys who had run away due to Chancey, the lead green snake that insisted on peeking his face out of her sunhat during her dates, to inspect if the guy she liked was good enough for her. Today would be different. Today, her pink shades would cover her eyes and she promised herself that this boy would not turn to stone. Today, she had put all her snakes into a bun except for Chancey, and that bun was pushed under her hat.
Today would be different.
She spied her date from the window.
A bored looking guy with cinnamon brown skin and golden eyes looked bored, his eyes glancing around the shop lazily.
Medusa’s eyes only widened when he picked up a deck of cards and turned them to gold.
He’s different, She thought.
Like me.
