After School
Over the rest of the day, Barbara found out she had a few classes with Lotte. History, science, and English. She didn’t introduce herself in the Bragging way anymore, because of Lotte. It felt embarrassing for some reason now, and she couldn’t figure out why.
———————————————————————
After school, Lotte met up with Akko and Sucy
“How was today for you guys?” Akko asked
“Boring as ever” Sucy said bluntly
“It couldn’t be that bad” Akko replied
“I have Biology Right after PE.”
“I thought you loved mushrooms and that stuff?” Akko asked confused “I do, but I can’t focus being so tired after that class, I have no idea how that Amanda- that’s her name right? Can work out so much and still pay attention next class”
“Oh yeah, she’s super athletic, while you in the other hand” Akko replied jokingly.
“I’m not out of shape, I’m just not as strong as she is!” Sucy slightly pushed Akko’s shoulder that bumped Lotte and accidentally knocked her glasses of her face
“Now look at what you’ve done” Sucy said
“You pushed me!” Akko replied as they got into an argument
Lotte was having a hard time finding her glasses
“Here you go” Lotte heard a familiar voice and looked up, now she of course couldn’t see who it was but the black hair gave her a good idea
When she got them back on and realized it was Barbara her mood immediately changed and smiled again. “Thank you Barbara!
Akko and Sucy Stopped fighting when they noticed Barbara and Lotte looking at them.
“Oh um… Barbara this is- Lotte tried to start, but again, she got interrupted. This time by Sucy. “We know who she is Lotte” Sucy said with a snare, while Akko looked like she wanted to hug her again.
“Yes, we met yesterday” staring back at Sucy and Akko with annoyed eyebrows, but mostly Akko
“Feeling the tension and not wanting her friends fighting she turned to Barbara and asked what she’d do after school.
“Oh um, probably just go home.” Barbara replied.
“Oh that reminds me, Lotte, can we go to your house for that studying you were talking about?
“Who’s we?” Sucy said
“Oh we both know you need the help since you don’t put in the effort for PE and Biology” Akko said hooking her arm around Sucy’s neck pulling her down
“Stop that!” Sucy yelled at Akko “and no I don’t!” Akko started to run and Sucy gave chase un aware Akko tricked her into running.
Lotte laughed at her friends running already getting closer to Lotte’s house
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Barbara?” Lotte asked
“Um, Lotte?” Barbara said rather shyly
“Yes?”
“Can I come with?”

After a few minutes of running Akko and Sucy finally made it to Lotte’s house. Her parents weren’t him yet so waited for Lotte to catch up. So they rested on the porch.
“What’s taking her so loooong” Akko Whined
“Maybe if you didn’t make me chase you we wouldn’t have to wait so long sucy snapped back
“Please don’t start again you two” Lotte said getting clear to her house
“There she is!” Akko said looking past sucy, who for perspective was facing against where Lotte was
Sucy looked back and smiled faintly that they could finally get out of the hot sun, but her smile quickly faded when she saw a certain black haired girl trailing slightly behind Lotte.
