Indigo Samson (6)
"Indigo Samson (6)"
Their lockers, a few doors down, the bell rings, and the teens go scurrying like salmon upstream; however, Maxie and Samson are glued to the astonishment of being anchored before one another, fixated upon the soul-fire glow of each others' eyes.
MAXIE
I'm Maxie. I'm Irish Catholic. Well, I guess everybody in this school knows that. I really like football as well. Bit her bottom lip, hating to sound like a dork.
SAMSON
Was calm and cool. Glad and humbled she made the first exchange. I know you, kinda. Like your hair too. A bluish tint to that jet black pixie cut. And with the green fire of a jungle in your effulgent eyes.
MAXIE
Ecstatic that he was giving her compliments. Didn't know how to play it. Blushed; next, became herself. I thought I was a voice crying in the wilderness. That you wouldn't hear me.
SAMSON
I hear the vibes of oppression, and you are my people. Want a date? Pizza is always good. They got that new place, JABBA THE HUTT'S PIE WAGON.
MAXIE
Oh, I love the PIE WAGON. It's like you're reading my mind.
SAMSON
Not totally. Just have enchanted empathy. Something lost by most in this world.
