Shanaya sees Iqra and realizes that iqra is upset after hearing her stupid family drama. So she tries to change the direction of the conversation to make Iqra's mind better.
"Where is your lunch? " Shanaya asked.
"I forgot to bring lunch today and I don't have enough money to order from the cafeteria, the food here is out of my budget ". Iqra answered her.
"I'll be fine though, you need not worry about me", tries to assure Shanaya, who only shakes her head.
"If you'd let me. May I treat you to a meal?" (Shanaya) stands up from her seat looking over at the menu.
" Treating me to a meal is-" She couldn't finish her sentence after getting the queen bee's puppy eyes, and Analissa's heart beats abnormally.
"Okay." (Iqra)
The ICE QUEEN seemed to have grown a tail, for it was wagging happily because the girl had accepted her offer and that she said.
Iqra sighs, staring at the shanaya's back.
*************
The sight of chocolate cake made the Iqra swallow the lump on her throat, feeling famished and her cheeks were a little red. "Ahem, thank you."
Iqra sees her tray and blinks, feeling a sense of peculiar aura around them as shanaya places their food on the table including hers in a very sweet manner. "Here is a napkin and your water. Be careful of your meat, it's a little hot."
"Do you need anything else?" The black haired girl asks softly as she sat down beside her once more, pushing Iqra's plate closer to her with a smile.
Iqra for some reason was really nervous with all the sudden sweetness she's been feeling in her stomach.
"N-No I'm good."
'For some reason I feel like a spoiled girlfriend right now. Shanaya would be a wonderful lover if she ever commits to someone.' Iqra thought to herself as she placed the book to the side and focused on the meal.
"..." (Shanaya) enjoyed watching Iqra
take a bite of her food and see her expression change to feeling super happy.
'It was that month I finally started to notice it. Notice how much attention I paid to the way she smiled and the way she'd bite the end of her pencil when she was confused or in deep thought. I noticed she always came into school looking a little down, so I'd always find a way to cheer her up. I never asked what was going on- it wasn't my place to go. I just tried to make her feel better. I noticed the way her lips move when she speaks and how regularly she reaches to brush her hair from her face. I started trying to resist the urge to reach and tuck it behind her ear myself.' Shanaya thought to herself.
