What I thought was a glare out of jealousy from Steve was sadly, just false alarm. Apparently, he was just being his normal sour face self.
"Hi Michelle!" Lara who was just standing beside Steve greeted me with a smile.
"Hello Lara." I greeted back.
The cashier cleared her throat and I remembered that I was in line. I excused myself from the three to face forward. I gave the cashier an apologetic smile and said sorry. Then, promptly presented her my stub and made my payment.
As I received my change, Andy started talking to me again.
"Are you with company? Want to join us?"
While receiving my change, I answered, "I'm with my blockmates, so I guess I have to decline."
"I would like to ask if we could join you, but our primadonna here might make a scene again. So, I guess, see you later. We do have the same class next right? ES lab?" he asked as he presented his stub to the cashier as he was next in line.
