I'LL TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT

     " Oh my, did I forget to say that I have to go to the library, silly me. So catch up later, I guess "

Alessie said almost immediately standing up with her backpack. June watched amazed.

      " We can go together "

She said also standing up but Alessie immediately objected.

      " No, I still have to branch by the.. "

      " The janitors closet? "

June said sarcastically and Alessie foolishly nodded 

       " Yes. Wait,..."

She said turning to June angrily realizing what she said.

        " June! "

         " What, that serves you right for lying"

June said smirking causing Alessie to turn her hands into fists in a bid to control her anger.

          " And what if I say I wasn't lying? "

           " Uh, "

June said confused with Alessie's sudden mood change 

             " Oh common, it was just a joke. "

She said immediately but Alessie smirked.

              " I was also playing you June, did I caught you unaware, well my bad "

Alessie said almost innocently causing June to roll her eyes.

              " It's not fair. You always have your way with words "

               " Isn't that a compliment? "

Alessie asked smirking. Just then, Cathy walked in causing some to look in her direction.

               "Hi Lawry "

She said blushing as she walked up to him.

               " Hi "

Lawrence said not taking his eyes off his phone. 

               " Didn't know the two jerks are close "

Alessie scoffed causing June to laugh. 

                " You free this weekend? "

Cathy asked with a really squeaky voice all in a bid to get Lawrence's attention.

                 " have a shoot "

He said immediately as if irritated by the very sight of her.

                  " Really, too bad. I wanted you to play for us at the newbies party"

 She said biting her lips. Lawrence ignored her and that made her pout.

                   " When can you be free? "

                   " Never"

Lawrence said and she chuckled nervously as some where looking at her sending strange looks but she was determined not to give up.

                    " I see. It's just... "

                     " If you have nothing else to say, I'm off "

He said standing up while Cathy tried to hold him.

                     " Be my date Lawrence "

She said staring deeply into his eyes. Alessie was shocked at that 

                      " You can't be serious"

                      " I am serious. It's been long since we hanged out together since you're always with the gang or having a shoot. You literally have no time for me"

She said with a pout. Lawrence tucked some strands of her blonde hair behind her ear.

                     " I just did "

He said and left.

                      " Lawry wait up! "

She said running after him.
