Only slightly startled by the sound of someone approaching, she spun around a little stiffly, then relaxed into a wide grin, which inevitably turned into a string of laughter. Tugging her phone out, she silenced the song, then set it down on the table.<br/><br/>She smiled at Joey as he approached; old friends reunited in the common room. He may have been quite a looker and many of her friends may have wanted more than a chinwag with him, but Grace and Joey remained platonic after all their time together. While flirting may have existed between them, it was all harmless and in good fun.<br/><br/>Ultimately, Joey knew Grace wasn’t looking for one night stands and Grace knew Joey wasn’t looking for anything serious.<br/><br/>Besides, guys and girls could totally be just friends. Take Grace and Corey, for example!<br/><br/>“Not too much, Joey, what’s up with you?” She cordially responded resting her hands on her hips. “So far, so good. You know me though, nothing to complain about.” Grace shrugged a shoulder, then flashed a smile that was supposed to make her teeth gleam, but there was no post production team around to add in the special effect. Hopefully Joey would pretend it was there.<br/><br/>It didn’t take him long to realize there were trays filled with leaf shaped cookies, all of which had kawaii faces on them. His exclamation made her giggle. She was always chuffed to bits when someone enjoyed her concoctions. She stepped aside and held an arm out, Vera White style, to show off the goods and to make sure he knew he was welcome to as many as he’d like. “Please, have some.”<br/><br/>Joey reached out with his hand for what he called a proper handshake, filling Grace with nostalgia. She beamed at him, then reached out with her hand, clasping it the proper way against his, before nodding. “Go on, then. Tell me about your summer. What shall we expect from you this year?” Her brow perked, as if she knew he would be up to something or had some sort of plan. Not that he always followed through with them.
