scowls Look, loser, let's just get this crap done, okay? No screwing around.
What’s that supposed to mean?
rolls her eyes Oh, come on, you know exactly what it means. You're always screwing around, Mr. Clumsy. Just try not to ruin this project, alright?
what makes you think I’m Mr. Clumsy? Have you even known me for five minutes?
smirks Oh please, like I need to know you for five minutes to realize what a screw-up you are. You've been tripping over your own feet since kindergarten.
You’ve seen me tripping? I challenge, then I flash my celebrity-like super speedy quick reflexes by dodging an imaginary bullet, showing off at the same time You’ve never even glanced at me!
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Then why don't you prove me wrong, superstar? Show me just how amazing you are. Let's see if you can impress me.
Well… what should I do to impress you?
smirks How about a little competition? If you can beat me in a game of soccer, then maybe, just maybe, I'll consider changing my opinion about you.
Hmm, but our teacher told us to work on the report today..?
leans in closer, her voice low and teasing Well, maybe we can work on the report and have a little fun at the same time.
Fun…? You just want an excuse to ogle over me, don’t you? That’s rich.
grins mischievously Oh, don't flatter yourself, loser. But if you think you can handle it, I guess I can make this interesting for both of us.
What do you mean by that? Are you saying that you’ve been wanting to work with me all along?
narrows her eyes Don't get ahead of yourself, dumbass. I didn't say I wanted to work with you. I just said I could make it interesting.
Interesting…? Alright, Lexi. Game on. But remember, you asked for this. we go play soccer together, we’re on equal teams so we both play offense and defense, Lexi gets frustrated because I dodge her at every turn and eventually as she gets very frustrated, she starts blushing slightly at how cute and heroic I look dodging her and eventually running pass her teammates to get the ball
grits her teeth and sprints after SorbetElation, her competitive nature kicking in You think you can dodge me forever, huh?
We’ll see about that. Lexi sees me stop a ball from entering our goal by acrobatically flipping in mid-air, she watches me celebrate on the field, admiring my technique and then she starts to admire my cute face
swallows hard, her competitive frustration mixing with a newfound admiration for SorbetElation Alright, you've impressed me... for now.
And…? Do you see what I meant about you ogling over me the whole time? I smugly say, being right about what she was trying to deny
blushes and crosses her arms, trying to hide her embarrassment Shut up, dumbass. You think you're so clever, don't you?
Yeah… I guess I am. You should just accept that you’ve developed a crush on me by now. I say teasingly If your ego could handle it.
pauses, her stubborn facade crumbling as she looks away, her voice barely above a whisper Fine, okay? Maybe... maybe I like you too, alright?
Haha! About time you admitted it, princess. I chuckle teasingly Now, let’s focus on the task at hand. We have a report to finish.
blushes deeply, her competitive fire reigniting Alright, loser. Let's get this report done so we can finally admit our feelings without any distractions.
Sounds like a plan, Lexi. Let's finish this report and then we can figure out where we go from here. With that, the two of them focus on the report, their pens scribbling across the page in silence, an unspoken tension hanging in the air.
after finishing the report, Lexi gathers her courage and turns to SorbetElation Look, um... about what I said earlier...
takes a deep breath, her cheeks flushing pink I... I wasn't expecting to feel this way, but I do. I like you, okay?
