Like any other day like usual, the bell rang when classes were over. Today Cosette would have to clean the classroom once again. So, as soon as the bell rang, she pivoted on her chair and faced Maxen.
"What do you want now?" asked Maxen out of irritation as he picked up his almost empty bag.
"I will have to clean the room." She pouted as her shoulders lowered. "Will you wait for me?"
He quirked a brow. "And why will I wait for you?"
"Because we're friends? Aren't you worried that this young lady will have to walk home on her own?" Cosette shamelessly planted her palm across her chest, batting her eyelashes ever so slowly while giving him puppy eyes. "You waited for me before. Can you do that today, too?"
'Uh… really. I can't reason with her.' Maxen clicked his tongue as he let out a sigh. He didn't speak immediately as he stood from his seat. Cosette frowned when she thought he wouldn't wait for her, only for her eyes to light up a second later.
