Everyone looked up from their phones

  Ray: it's 1:30 right now. We've got 30 minutes.

  William: That's a long time; let's get something to eat.

  Benjamin: Bro, it's a 10-minute walk to the hall. We don't have time.

  William: I haven't eaten today.

  Lucas: It isn't our fault. You should've ate something.

  Malakai turned to Tanisha and Maria.

  Malakai: Wanna walk with us.

  Maria: Yeah!

  Tanisha: Maria!

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Maria: Huh?

  Tanisha mouthed no. She then turned to Malakai.

  Tanisha: All of you go without us. We need to get ready.

  Malakai: You already look ready.

  Tanisha: We need to do our make-up

  Malakai: You don't look like you need make-up.

  Tanisha: Fine! If you want us to go with you so badly.

  Malakai: I mean, I'm not begging you to come with us. I'm just asking.

  Tanisha: Tsk.

  Tanisha walked back into her dorm and slammed the door.

  David: Mally, you need to stop pissing people off.
