But as fate would dictate, Zendra would not be spared just because she waited for everyone else to leave. In fact, quite the opposite was about to happen. Ariel grinned. Fate was about to be splintered on this day. Diverged to insure the benefits of another. Tina and Meagen spotted Zendra at her usual spot and took no hesitation to stride right up to her.

"Hey there Zendra! Sorry about your accident this morning," Tina said.

Meagen nodded in agreement. "Yeah, such a shame...but hey, I promise it won't happen again! Just so long as you, oh I dunno....maybe share your math notes for next period?"

The two girls giggled. They both knew it wasn't so much a question rather a demand for the notes. Seeing the event unfold before her, Ariel calmly walked up to Zendra, giving her a warm embrace. "Sorry, but Zendra doesn't like talking to trash. It makes her breath stink, you know?"

She stuck her tongue out at the two girls in a playful manner, challenging the both of them to do something about it. While she did that, her left hand absently began stroking Zendra's cheek and the dark haired girl brought her face closer to hers.

"Well? Are you gonna stand here all day like staring cows?"
