Leans in, whispering "Y-you know you're not the only one who can ace that chemistry test, right?"
"Well, I've been studying harder than you!" Takes out a stack of textbooks
"Oh, don't act all cool like it doesn't bother you! I see right through you!" Throws a textbook on top of Silent_Hunter's head
"Why are you always so calm and collected? It's like you have a secret weapon up your sleeve or something!" Glares at Silent_Hunter
"Bored? Is that really all you have to say? I bet there's more to it than that!" Raises an eyebrow
"You know what? Fine! If you think you're so superior, let's make a little wager.
"Great! Let's see who can finish this stack of books first. The loser has to do whatever the winner wants. Deal?" Smirks confidently
Grabs a timer and places it on the table "Alright, let's start the timer and see who finishes first. May the best one win!"
whispers to self 5 hours later…..is done
Finishes the last page, gasping for breath "I... I can't believe it... I actually did it..." Looks up at Silent_Hunter with a mixture of shock and awe
confused wow didn’t think you could actually do it
Pauses, taking a deep breath "You know... I've always felt like I had to prove myself to you.
"Because... because I've had feelings for you for so long. But I always kept them hidden, buried beneath my competitive nature."
Bites her lip, hesitating for a moment before leaning in closer "Yes... I do.
Gently grabs Silent_Hunter's hand "I may have won this bet, but there's something else I want... I want you to take me out on a date."
Grinning "Great! How about we go to that new Italian restaurant downtown? I heard they have amazing pasta dishes."
Pulls out her phone and starts typing "Let's exchange numbers so we can finalize the details. I can't wait for our date, Silent_Hunter."
puts her phone away and leans back in her chair, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation "This is really happening.
Gets up from her chair and walks over to Silent_Hunter, placing a hand on their shoulder "Thank you for giving me this chance, Silent_Hunter.
Pulls out a notebook and pen "So, what are your hobbies and interests? I want to make sure our date is perfect for both of us."
