“Hurry uuuuuuuuuuuuuup!!!!!”

“Just shut up and wait can you!?”

“Cannot!! This is my room which is I also have right to come in! Why do I have to wait outside!?”

“Because I am changing!!”

“Hurry! I’m hungry!!”

“SHUT UP! YOU MAKE ME PUT SHORT ON MY HEAD!”

“You what??”

The door opened when Tiffany leaned her back onto it and she fell down to the floor still shocked. Jessica looked down at her questioningly.

“What are you doing down there?”

“YOU THINK!?”

They left the dorm during lunch time and decided to take a bus to eat first at all you can eat since Tiffany said it would be more fun if they ate together outside. Jessica always agreed to whatever Tiffany said so she clang onto the basketball player’s arm as they walked outside.

They sat side by side inside the bus. Pointed to anything they found weird before they started laughing, listened to one another’s story and commented every now and then as made a joke for it before they laughed again or Jessica listened to everything Tiffany said and the lame joke but laughed so hard at the end because Tiffany mimicked a face of their chemistry teacher.

They never paid attention to those staring eyes from the other passenger; they didn’t know that their laughs and stupid jokes annoyed a middle age woman who sat near them. They were too focused to one another; Jessica sat next to the window and Tiffany next to her, they shifted their seats so they were facing each other. They were just too excited to bother everyone. They were just looking at each other.

Tiffany held Jessica’s hand as they stepped out from the bus and let go of Jessica’s hand only to drap it on the younger girl’s shoulder. Tiffany looked down at the brown orbs that looking back at her, the girl flashed a bright smile the one Jessica couldn’t help but smiles back at her.

“Eat!!”

“Eaaaatt!!!

And they stormed to the all you can eat restaurant.

They put so many foods on their plates without even thinking at how to finish them all. Tiffany took this, put this on Jessica’s plate, Jessica took that and put on Tiffany’s plate, Tiffany took so many and put it on her plate before took it again and put it on Jessica’s plate (Jessica only started at the food then to Tiffany before she pouted because her plate is full already which means she couldn’t choose another foods and then she sat on the table near the window).

Tiffany sat across the younger girl with plate full of foods and two glasses of cola and fanta in the other hand. Jessica didn’t help and only stared at the girl who hardly got balance of the drinks on her hand. Tiffany had her tongue stick outside a little when she managed to put all those things on her hand. She threw her hands up with a satisfied grin on her face when all those settled down on the table.

“Dang I’m so awesome!!”

“Waiter Hwang!”

“Personally for my princess Jessica, yes.” She ended it with a wink and Jessica pushed her face away with her hand.

They started to eat like a beast. No seriously, they were eating like they never touched food since birth and looked at the way they ate, beast perhaps an understatement. They only skipped lunch and last night they actually ate dinner quiet a lot since Jessica kept on brought snacks she stole from Sooyoung every now and then as she waited for Tiffany to finished studying. And not to mention Tiffany ate most of it.

“I am still growing up.”

Was all she said last night when Jessica eyed her on the fifth potato chips.

“Chili sauce please.”

Jessica was in the midst of chewing and cutting her mountain of meat when Tiffany called her. She looked at the girl first before darted her eyes to the chili sauce near her. She pushed it with her finger towards Tiffany and about to continue eating before Tiffany’s voice interrupted her once more.

“Pour it for me please.”

She rolled her eyes and poured the red content to Tiffany’s place without looking at the older girl. She kept her focus on forking her meal and chewed some more.

“Enough.”

Jessica nodded and put the bottle back without leaving the foods before her and she heard Tiffany cleared . Jessica was still not looking at her when she hummed.

“Hey.”

“Hm?”

“Look at me.”

Jessica rolled her eyes and―

“AH! Why on earth you poured chili sauce on your face??”

“Wha― it’s your fault not me! You should be careful when pouring it! Ugh you screw my awesome face.”

Tiffany took some tissue and wiped her face with the thin fabric that barely successfully cleaning her face wholly when she took the second handful of it. Jessica couldn’t help but muffled her laugh at Tiffany’s face and she grabbed the tissue from the older girl’s hand, attempted to help her.

“Let me do it for you.”

She was wiping the remaining sauce from Tiffany’s face when a finger landed smoothly on her nose. Jessica stopped from wiping the other girl’s face to face palm and sent Tiffany a cold glare. The girl before her chuckled and she had that annoying grin on her face. Jessica ran her finger along her nose before eyed the sauce on her finger. She raised an eyebrow towards Tiffany, challenging her.

“Really?”

The brown head grinned smugly at her. “Ah yea.”

“You started this.”

“You started this.”

Tiffany shrugged as she folded her hands on the table and leaned a little bit closer to Jessica. The younger girl exhaled calmly and put a slight annoyed smile before she poked sauce on Tiffany’s face. Jessica crossed her arms.

“Now that’s cute.”

When Tiffany scoffed, she already had her fingers dip into the sauce bottle and jumped right when Jessica looked elsewhere which made the older girl successfully poke yet another sauce on her face. That smug smile on Tiffany’s face was maddening and Jessica wanted to slap it off and poured all the content of the sauce bottle onto her face.

So Jessica stood up, grabbed the bottle in front of her and dipped her finger onto it before she poked the older girl’s face with her finger. Tiffany slapped the hand, failed Jessica’s attempted and successfully poked the girl’s face with her own sauce covered fingers instead. The older girl laughed at her, one hand on her stomach when she laughed hard looking and pointing at Jessica’s face.

Tiffany was still laughing when Jessica finally made her way towards her and tried to wipe that laugh on Tiffany’s face with her hand covered sauce. Tiffany’s hand that prevented her to do it was the only hindrance and Jessica groaned when she couldn’t land her hand on the girl’s face. She was a little bit closer to get Tiffany but a hand on the back of her neck that pulled her away stopped her.

Jessica looked back over her shoulder and found the owner of the restaurant glared at her. His other hand on Tiffany’s shoulder and he dragged both girls out from the restaurant. He pushed them to the pavement. Jessica landed atop of Tiffany (an opportunity to put her sauce hand on the girl’s face which is success).

“Get out!!” He said and slammed the restaurant door.

Instead of spat back to the owner, they both shared stupid laugh to one another. Tiffany looked at Jessica from the space between the girl’s fingers.

“My face is hot.”

“Yeah as hot as Angelina Jolie.” Jessica laughed.

***

“Boom! Loser princess is loser!”

“Princess doesn’t play guns.”

They went straight to the arcade after being kicked out from the restaurant after they washed their faces at the public toilet. Tiffany dragged Jessica to play shooting game Jessica didn’t really care the name and never played before, Jessica lost for the umpteenth time for that game and she felt betrayed because between them both only Tiffany who knew how to play it.

“Just pull the trigger and shoot!”

“Pull the trigger my !”

They argued during the game which caused Jessica lost again for the third time before they played again for the fourth and it went on for some times. Now Jessica felt like a total moron with that game, she put the gun back to its place and looked around the arcade when Tiffany was still dancing her stupid celebration dance. There in the middle of the arcade room, Jessica found that dance game she used to play with her sister.

She grabbed Tiffany’s hand and run to the machine and inserted the coin without even listened to Tiffany’s protest. Jessica stood on the left side and she dragged Tiffany to the right sight.

“Wait wait! I can’t play this! I don’t― hey hey why are you not listening??” Tiffany panicked. She’s a total fail person when it comes to dance.

Jessica only continued on choosing the song without paid attention to the protesting girl beside her.

“Jess!!!”

The said girl pushed the button and grinned to Tiffany when the intro of the song began.

“Just stepped on the button. It’s easy.” She said as she winked.

“!”

The arrows started went up and Tiffany got dizzy, she wasn’t sure when she had to stepped on the arrow bellow her feet when the arrows on screen kept on coming like mad and was so fast that her eyes almost rolled to the back of her head. So Tiffany stepped randomly to take the opportunity that it would match and she could get a score even just a tiny little bit.

She glanced over to Jessica and the girl moved lightly to both the song and the arrows matched with perfect combos. How is this possible, why on earth there’s someone can play this thing as pro as this Jessica princess over here. Their eyes met for awhile before Jessica shifted her eyes to Tiffany’s screen and laughed at her score. The older girl felt ashamed on herself but Jessica’s lively laugh make her laughed along with the younger girl. Hell, Tiffany would make herself a fool if it could make her see that laugh forever.

It went on for more than ten minutes before Tiffany pouted and stood right in front of Jessica’s screen. The younger girl didn’t protest instead she walked over to Tiffany and pinched the brown head’s nose. Jessica said her pouted didn’t match her figure. And they stopped played with the dance machine.

Now it was Tiffany’s turn, she didn’t bother to drag Jessica with her when she found the basketball machine one. She ran to it like a kid seeing cotton candy stall. Inserted coins into two machines, she looked over her shoulder to Jessica.

“Play with me.”

“I don’t play basketball.”

“I said play with me.”

“I said― crap!”

The machines released the balls and Jessica frantically tried to focus to the ring and the ball at the same time when Tiffany shot smoothly to the ring and gained points ― Jessica still managed to throw the ball from her hand. Even throwing the ball troubled her.

Tiffany 28, Jessica 6. Tiffany 50, Jessica 10, Tiffany 175, Jessica 14. Tiffany 180, Jessica 14. Tiffany 250, Jessica 14.

The older girl glanced at Jessica, she thought the girl already stopped playing because her score kept still, but Jessica was as screwed as Tiffany playing dance when it comes to basketball. Tiffany can’t help but laughed until her eyes wet.

“Kindergarten kinds can play better than you!”

“Oh shut up, I’m trying here.” Jessica aimed the ball to the ring and boom! It never entered the ring neither touched it. She groaned. “Why is this so hard!?”

“That’s what you got for never exercising your upper body.”

Jessica shot, failed.

“Weak.”

Shot, failed.

“Weak arm.”

Shot…... Almo― failed.

“Weak upper body.”

Jessica threw the ball with both hands with all her might but it also didn’t touch the ring. The older girl laughed at her failed attempted again, Jessica grabbed one ball as she moved closer to Tiffany, once the brown head finished her laugh, Jessica slammed the ball onto Tiffany’s head and the older girl moved backwards in dizzy motion with both hands on her head, rubbing intensively on her feels-like-cracking-head.

“Violent!!!!! HURT MUCH YOU KNOW THAT!?”

“And you said I have a weak upper body.”

Jessica walked away without apologizing but when Tiffany walked closely beside her, she sighed and twinned the older girl with her hand rubbing on the spot where she had hit Tiffany with the ball. The brown head felt much better just because of it.

They wander around the arcade again, wanted to play anything but it looks like they already played most of it. Jessica glanced to the shooting game again and she felt curious, she wasn’t that bad, she could play that game doesn’t she?

“Eh Tiff, let’s play that again.” She pointed.

“Time crisis? Again? You were losing.”

“Two players as a cooperate team, I wanna know.”

“Sure.”

And they walked to play it again, Jessica was ready with the gun on her hand when Tiffany just inserted the coin, she chuckled at the sight as she took her gun. Tiffany nodded her head to the younger girl and darted her eyes to the screen before her, pulled up the gun, ready, and they started.

Tiffany was sure enough that Jessica didn’t even make it when the first time they played this game, but now it was like a miracle happened and Jessica turned to be an Athena with that gun on her hands. Wow she played way too good, too good til it gained people surrounding them. Jessica was poor playing it back then but now when she cooperated with Tiffany, she played awesomely, like she just took someone’s ability.

“Nice, Jung! That’s my girl!”

“You too, Hwang.”

They shook hands with such an awesome pose when they completed the story. The people ― mostly kids or everybody that younger than them ― applaused like they just found a new game kings which was very rare one to find. Jessica and Tiffany high fived as they walked away from the machine and decided to take a walk outside for fresh air.

Tiffany had her arms around Jessica’s shoulder when they walked together killing time. The older girl stopped at the ice cream stall and bought Jessica her favorite one before they continue walking. It was almost late at night so Jessica asked them to go home which Tiffany complied easily.

The brown head had her hands tucked onto her pocket with Jessica clung onto her right arm while walking back to the dorm. Tiffany smiled to herself as she could feel Jessica’s warmth and the feeling inside her chest was growing even more.

“Final basket match next week, will you come? That would be my last time playing for our high school.”

Jessica formed a smile on her face as she nodded. Maybe it would be very great to cheer on Tiffany for the last time.

“Okay.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

Tiffany smiled once more, this time she buried her nose onto Jessica’s strands of brunette hairs, smelling the girl’s scent.

“I’ll wait for you.” The brown head grinned as she breathed out a joke. “I’ve prepared something special, I’ll be sad if you don’t come.”
