Luke gives a smile as he packs his backpack and waits with Ana at the bus stop, he puts his hand on his head, as if scratching it and says:
"I like training, for the simple fact that it occupies my mind, it distracts me for a few hours, there are a lot of thoughts in my head lately, some good, some not so good, so don't apologize, it was good, I realized that I can have other kinds of fun."
"Oh, changing the subject, you didn't buy the cake Ana."
Ana realizes that she had even forgotten about the cake, and that when she gets home she will have to justify the argument she had with her mother earlier, it's not bad that she can remember about it, many things have to be resolved through dialogue, but she won't be able to say that she went shopping instead of training, she will need Luke to keep it a secret, or else she will be in trouble:
"Luke, I need you to keep this a secret today, otherwise I'll be grounded."
Luke had expected this, he too will have to make an excuse when he gets home, he is thoughtful for a few moments, and decides to joke about the situation:
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret, I won't say anything about..."
"But I'll want something in return for my silence...sweetheart."
Ana widens her eyes, looking incredulously at Luke's face, if this isn't blackmail she doesn't know what is, she thinks for a few seconds and has no idea what she wants to give him to "buy" his silence, she takes a deep breath and speaks:
"Pfff...I have no idea what to give you in exchange for your silence."
Luke smiles again, he really seems to be enjoying seeing Ana all confused, and not missing a chance he says:
"Oh, I already know what I want in return Ana."
Ana is amazed at how quick he always is with his answers, Luke signals with his finger for her to come closer to him, they are standing waiting for the bus to arrive, she without thinking too much comes closer to him, he comes close to her ear, so that the others at the bus stop don't hear:
"You can kiss me on the mouth."
Ana feels a chill and then automatically freezes, she holds her backpack in her hands as if it were her life raft, and as if her life depended on the backpack, she breaks out in a cold sweat and starts laughing nervously:
"Haha, you almost got me with that joke...good thing you know I have a boyfriend, right Luke?"
Ana is totally distraught in her thoughts.
(MDS, my heart feels like it's going to burst out of my chest, help, it was better to talk about her boyfriend, because how am I going to explain that I've never kissed anyone, I don't even know how a kiss starts haha)
Luke makes an unconvinced face, because he's pretty sure that she lied about having a boyfriend, there's still a doubt, but he's going to solve it, and be absolutely sure about it, at that moment he notices that the bus has arrived, but Ana is so distracted that she doesn't notice, the bus starts and leaves, Luke pokes her and says:
"Hey, that was our bus."
Ana comes back almost instantly from her thoughts, and looks at the bus already a long way away from them, she despairs and looks at Luke:
"Damn it, what do you mean we missed the bus...., you should have told me, I don't know all the buses that pass through here, Luke!"
Luke doesn't seem at all worried that they've missed the bus, so he sits down on the bench at the bus stop, puts his backpack on his lap, puts his hand on the bench and signals Ana to sit down:
"I was distracted, now it's gone, we'll have to wait at least 30 minutes, come and sit here, come."
