The short blonde girl ran over and wrapped Grace up in a hug. “Stephanie!” Grace called out, even though there was no need to raise her voice with Stephanie directly in front of her.<br/><br/>“Are you looking for Corey? Aw, you two were practically attached at the hip last year, huh? I’m sure you’ve seen him over summer then, so you know how hot he got, right?” The blonde beamed up at Grace, like there was something a little more hidden behind her words. Grace gaped down at Stephanie, whose eyes were twinkling with mischief, presumably at the thought of how attractive Corey had gotten over summer break.<br/><br/>“Corey?<em>My </em>Corey?” Grace asked once her voice returned to her, gaping in disbelief. Stephanie nodded, beaming even brighter, as Corey came into view a few compartments down the hall. “See for yourself!” Stephanie practically sang, a spring in her step as she retreated back to her pod.<br/><br/>Venturing onward, Grace had to snake around a few people, but made her way to Corey, noticing instantly that he was taller and that his hair was longer. She was looking him over when he remarked about her antics, and just like that, things fell right back into their proper place again. “Haven’t you heard? Subtle is my middle name.” She promptly held up the Snickers bar as if to offer some for him, only for Corey to comment about her having some excess on her face.<br/><br/>“Have I? Where?” She asked, leaning her face closer to him. “Well? Get it off, then!” She prompted, then waited, until his finger would inevitably scrape the bit of chocolate off of her face. Before he had a chance to do anything with it, Grace grasped his wrist and stood up straight again. “Wait - we can’t let it go to waste.” With that, as if it was the perfect lead to foreshadow, she guided his hand to her mouth and licked the chocolate from his finger in one long swipe.<br/><br/>“Mm!” She grinned, releasing his wrist and stepping inside the compartment he had already occupied. “Nice choice!” She quickly remarked, not missing a beat. “Now that’s out of the way, I think you owe me something.” Spinning around to face him again, she waited for Corey to follow her inside, then wrapped him up in a tight hug, being mindful of his open drink and careful not to spill it over.<br/><br/>Plopping down onto a seat, she patted the spot beside her for Corey to join her there. “Let’s share.” Hoping he’d comply, she held out the Snickers for him to take, then extended her other arm toward the Coke, her expression taking on a puppy dog look as she silently pleaded with him. Then, as if she was certain that wouldn’t be enough to convince him, she added a little something extra. “Pleeeeeeeeeeease?”
