[jeremy-sommers]

Huh. That is both endearing and frightening. 

[briellerho]

I get that a lot.

[jeremy-sommers]

I bet you always had your way, growing up.

[briellerho]

Um...in a way, I guess. I was a pageant girl, so I was trained to not accept defeat.

[jeremy-sommers]

Says who?

[briellerho]

Says me, duh.

[jeremy-sommers]

Exactly. You just did it again.

[briellerho]

Just because my choice is always the best choice.

[jeremy-sommers]

Point taken.

It’s not like I have a choice, with you.

[briellerho]

You always have a choice. I just might not like it and pout until you give in.

[jeremy-sommers]

Specific.

-takes out his wallet and pays for the food-

[briellerho]

Well, I'm not gonna waste precious toppings on my third and last triangle.

Such a gentleman.

[jeremy-sommers]

Alright, what do you want? I’m buying.

[briellerho]

Two slices of pizza, one with just cheese, and one with pepperoni.

[jeremy-sommers]

-laughs- Right. Stealing things from scary biker guys is exhausting. 

Wanna drop by the campus cafe?

[briellerho]

Please.

[jeremy-sommers]

-tries to hold back a smile- Sweet. What else did you have in mind?

[briellerho]

A slice of pizza, or pie, or cake... I'm hungry.

[jeremy-sommers]

-his eyes widen- ARE YOU— -lowers his voice- Are you serious?

[briellerho]

[reaches into her bag and pulls it out, waving it in front of his face] Two triangles down, one to go.

[jeremy-sommers]

-silently judges her-

[briellerho]

[once they're a safe distance away] I may or may not have swiped a pool rack while two big biker dudes were in the middle of a game.

[jeremy-sommers]

-blinks and falls into step with her- What did you just do?

[briellerho]

Don't ask questions, just walk.

[jeremy-sommers]

-wraps an arm around her shoulder- Can’t help it.

Where to next?

[briellerho]

Hold that thought.. [runs into the pool club quickly, and returns a minute later clutching her bag tightly] Follow my lead.

[jeremy-sommers]

-laughs before patting her head- 

You’re adorable.

[briellerho]

[bumps him with her shoulder, suppressing a smile] Don't patronize me.

[jeremy-sommers]

Yeah… I’m not stooping to your level.

[briellerho]

Was that a short joke? Is that the best you could come up with? Let me tell you, I have plenty of shortcomings, and my height is only the tip of the iceberg.

[jeremy-sommers]

You have not met Engineering.

[briellerho]

Doesn't make you any less of a nerd.

[jeremy-sommers]

Hurry up, shorty. The sooner we finish this, the sooner I can get back to my homework.

[briellerho]

You're such a nerd.
