"Huh?" You say in disbelief, but she simply smiled in response.
"Really?" You ask slightly frustrated.
"What? Don't you want to spend a little time with your dear cousin?" She replied.
"Don't play the 'family' card on me... if you actually cared about that you wouldn't... you know..." You said, finishing the incomplete phrase with an annoyed sigh, showing some restraint, but also out of embarrassment.
"Aww... Don't be like that... Just give me a chance..." She said, pulling you closer.
"Is there a problem?" You heard Lillian's voice behind you, and the large shadow that covered yours on the floor pretty much confirmed it. You turned to look at her.
"H-Hey" You greeted, a bit weakly, as dealing with Celeste made you feel drained rather fast.
"Hey there..." You then heard Jen, standing next to Lillian with her arms crossed, and both girls were staring daggers at Celeste. You chuckled quietly, as you imagined this was rather unusual, and in most other circumstances, it was usually a girl's male friends who'd defend her from people hitting on her. Not like you were exactly physically helpless, but your size and might were all for naught against a girl after all, in a way, you were powerless, and you appreciated that these two cared enough about you.
"No... We're just going to work together for today's class..." Celeste replied flatly
"That sounds like a rather one-sided decision to me..." Jen said. The fire in her eyes made your heart beat harder, but you wondered if she merely protected you because of your friendship, or if perhaps there was more to it.
"Blaise, did you agree to work with her?" Lillian asked with a half smile, knowing she had just opened the door for you to get away from her clutches. You took a shallow breath and briefly glanced at Celeste, who was split between feeling dejected, but also angry at the other two girls.
"Sorry, Celeste, but you didn't even ask... so, no, I didn't agree to anything..." You replied, but then the teacher walked in and snapped her fingers
"Alright guys, everyone get ready to work! I'll begin explaining the experiment..." She said. The four of you were caught like deers in headlights and before anyone could say anything, the teacher spoke again...
"Really?" You ask slightly frustrated.
