As the final bell for the boring classes rang, Coral's excitement bubbled up. She had heard that their history teacher was absent today, and that meant they had a free period!
Emily, equally thrilled, practically skipped over to Coral. "Finally, free time! Let's go explore the campus," she said, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
Coral grinned and quickly packed her bag. She stood up from her seat and grabbed Emily's hand, ready to head out. "Sounds exciting!" Coral agreed, her excitement matching Emily's.
As Coral and Emily strolled through the campus, their conversation took a lighthearted turn.
"You know," Emily began, her eyes sparkling with gossip, "I heard Jake was making out with his new girlfriend right in the hallway."
Coral tilted her head, looking puzzled. "Making out? Is that like when dolphins play with each other?"
Emily burst into giggles. "Not quite. It's more like... well, never mind. Just know it's a bit scandalous."
