Hearing that, the neat brows were forming a heavy knot, a little wrinkle appeared in between. “Woah, I… I don’t mean that… I never meant that, Tina. It’s just we’re friends now… I think it’ll be nice to have lunch together.”

“Then ask Alice and Shane go with you.” Saying so, the blonde did not really mean it. Truth be told, she was moved that Bette was trying to do something nice for her.

“Hey, hey, don’t be mad okay? What would it take for me to have you lunch with me?” The brunette brought a hand on her head and rubbed her temples with her thumb and middle finger.

“I can take my sandwich with me.”

“That’s not gonna happen. It’s not healthy and I certainly can’t eat when you’re having a sandwich.”

“Then forget about it.” Tina attempted to leave.

The brunette girl instantly jumped in her way and held her arms in protest. “Wait, wait, wait. How about we do some business?”

“What business would that be?” Hazel eyes lit up with delight. Delight, indeed, she found Bette’s reaction very interesting.

“Hummm…” The big brown eyes shined with whimsical sparkles. “How about…I share my lunch and you share your exam answers for the following months?”

“Sounds like a fair deal.” Sarcastically, Tina rolled her eyes.

“You think?” A bit smile cracked on the brightened face.

“No! Of course not.”

The innocently expectant smile stiffed. “Why not? You’ll be doing something for me, grandma will be convinced that I learn, win-win situation.”

“First of all, that is not helping you. I’m gonna do something called ‘tough love’ to you and you’ll thank me later.” Sounded like a nagging old person, the blonde put one hand on her waist. “Second, it’s highly doubtful that you need to stoop to this level to pass your exams. I’m sure lots of people would be more than willing to lend a hand on that.” Then she looked up and saw the big smile returning to the beautiful face. So she wriggled one brow in question.

“You just said ‘love’, T-bird.” Bette triumphantly uttered the pet name. “You love me~ you love me~ you really really love me~~” As the blonde tried to argue, she started to sing, jumping around.
