part three

"YOU KNEW? AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?"

"I can't out her, Minho. I just found out two days ago." Sneha told him as she ate her food.

"And you're not mad at Dae for lying to everyone? To Kitty?" he asked.

Sneha sighed, "I was kinda at first, But there's this thing I do, where..." she gave him a little pause.

"Well?"

"Where I mind my own business." she grinned.

Minho rolled his eyes and threw an unused tissue paper at her.

"You frustrate me, Agarwal." Minho groaned.

Sneha grinned, "I'm glad."

"WHY ISN'T THIS WORK-IFYING?" Sneha complained as she tried to flip her pancake.

"Worki what?" Kitty asked. "Is that Indian- English too?" she asked clearly confused.

Q shook his head, "It's Sneha language. Her weird language pours out randomly. Working. She means working."

Sneha sighed and nodded, "it's not, turn-ifying."

"It's common works, with ifying in the end." Dae explained as he grabbed a glass of water for himself.

Kitty nodded, who was way too tired to make sense of it. "I don't want to do jumping jacks."

"It'll get your blood pumping." Q nodded.

Minho entered as he snatched the spatula from Sneha. "A glass of cold water does the trick. I'm happy to dump some over your head." he suggested as he looked back to see an annoyed Sneha, throwing curses at the now scrambled pancake. 

"Did you mess up the batter?" he asked her.

The girl shrugged.

"You probably did. I make perfect pancakes every time."

"You probably did. I make perfect pancakes every time." Sneha mocked as she sat next to Dae, realising Minho had started to fix the batter, and he wouldn't let her ruin it again.

"I know what we need!" Yuri smiled as she held both Kitty and Q's shoulder.

Q spoke up, "Please don't say Adderall."

Yuri shook her head, "No, have you seen me and Eunice on that stuff?" she sighed dramatically, "I would never."

Sneha leaned into Dae, "Who's Eunice?" she whispered.

"Seriously?"

"What we need is music." Yuri completed.

Sneha stood up, "I'll play music, I have good music. Ask Minho!" she shouted.

"Yes she does." Minho said nonchalantly as he handed her a stack of pancakes.

"That was fast." she grinned.

Dae stood up with his coat, "We all need coffee. Who's coming with me?" he asked.

"I'll--" But Sneha got cut off by Minho, "I'll go." he shouted, giving Sneha a look.

She figured it would give the boys time to talk things through so she decided to stay home.

"IF YOU'VE DONE WELL ALL SEMESTER, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THE FINAL. It is fair. Hard, but fair." Professor Lee told them.

Kitty raised her hand. "Yes?" he asked.

"What if you have no done well all semester?" she asked.

Lee gave her a look. "Probable doom."

Kitty nodded, confused with what she's going to do to survive all this.

"But, I'm not unreasonable. Any student of mine who chooses to participate in the end of term talent show, will get a ten point boost on their lowest grade."

"Oh good, I just learned a new tik tok dance." Sneha heard someone say.

"I can juggle!"

Lee shook his head. "No, no." he stated. "You must perform a traditional Korean art form with dignity."

"Are you going?"

Sneha looked away from her notes to face Minho, "Probably. He said ten point boost."

Minho chuckled, "I don't think you need a ten point boost, what even is the stuff you've written? I cannot understand half of it."

Sneha laughed, "cause half of it is romanized hindi. The other half you can understand, I'm sure."

Yuri came running to Kitty and Sneha, the latter was one bench behind. "My mom made me take fan dance lessons forever. I can teach you both."

"I can't dance." Sneha groaned, "maybe I don't do this." she nodded.

Sneha didn't hear Kitty hesitantly agreeing, but the Covey girl turned to face Sneha, "You have to come!"

"I can't dance Kitty."

Kitty's face had those pleading puppy dog eyes, "Please! Don't make me do this alone." The girl kept looking at Sneha and Yuri repeatedly. 

Sneha realised the conflicting feeling Kitty was having. Sex dreams mean something.

"Fine."

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS." Sneha shook her head as she walked with Dae and Minho in the cafeteria.

Minho sighed. "I'm just telling you what I saw! Plus, we have pictures."

"YOU TOOK PICTURES???"

Dae shushed her. "We don't know anything yet. We're just trying to look out for Q."

"Hey, guys--" The three turned back to see Q and Florian sitting with one another, "sit with us."

Sneha nodded as she walked towards the couple, "Don't say anything that would-- you know ruin things." she whispered and pulled up a chair in the corner.

"Hey, guys." Florian smiled.

"Hello." Minho stated. "So, Florian," Minho started, ignoring the looks Sneha was giving him, "How's studying going?" he asked. "Did you stay in all night? Nose in the books?"

The boy nodded. "Yeah, all night." he answered.

Minho looked towards Dae. "Interesting, yeah."

"Interesting." Dae, sheepishly nodded back.

Sneha rolled her eyes as she started at her coffee.

Q looked at his friends suspiciously.

"We needed a break, so we went for a coffee run." The British accented boy stated as he stared into Florian's soul.

Florian began standing up, "well, better get back to it." He said his see you laters and left.

"BYE!" Dae stated.

Sneha sighed loudly as she took Florian's seat. "What is going on with you guys? Why are you acting so weird?" Q asked.

Dae and Minho looked at each other, and the latter pulled up his phone, showing him the picture of Florian, with some other boy. 

Q looked at the photo of his boyfriend hugging someone else with confusion. "We didn't know how to tell you, sorry..."

Sneha grabbed the boys hand, who looked tired, clearly sad or disappointed.
