"Oh, fine, " Whatever playful attempt is made to be dramatic about it isn't enough to stop the smile from spreading across her face. It was no secret that Buddy had far more money than she'd likely ever would it wasn't on the list of reasons why she had wanted to befriend him. In Buddy she had found a kindred spirit, or at least she had hoped as much. Reading people was something she often struggled with; few actually said what they meant or how they were feeling. While Alena had her own secrets, she couldn't help but wish others were more straightforward.
Part of the reason she had wanted to pay was so that he'd know she wasn't just hanging around him because of his money or his family. Rather something more valuable to her, his friendship.
"But actually next time, okay? Not like...next time we're here or whatever. "
