Chapter Text
The silence in the library was deafening as Marcy Wu and Anne Boonchuy sat focusing on their books. The two girls had finished their studies for the day and decided to go to the castle library and complete, or in Anne's case catch up, on homework. Marcy absentmindedly glanced up from her journal and gazed around the room. Anne sat across from her quickly jotting notes down in the notebook infront of her. Anne glanced up at her and smiled.
"Whats up?" She asked, placing her pencil down, giving Marcy her full attention.
"Oh, nothing...I was just looking around." Marcy replied, twirling her pencil around in her fingers. "I finished my work and now I'm just kinda doodling..."
"Wish I could say the same..." Anne sighed. "I still have a few more assignments left...This is what I get for slacking. In my defense, this stuff is hard..." Anne chuckled.
"Yeah...Some of the stuff we've been taught is pretty confusing..." Marcy agreed.
"Says the smart one!" Anne laughed as Marcy lightly chuckled in response. "Seriously though, do you think you could help me out with this stuff?" Anne asked.
"Totally!" Marcy affirmed, standing from her chair and going over to sit beside Anne. "Lemme see." Marcy said, taking Anne's notebook. "Ah, okay! I can help with this!" Marcy said, handing Anne back her notebook before quickly delving into an explanation. Anne began to quickly jot down what she could of Marcy's ramblings. Neither took note of the chair on Marcy's right being pulled out until a hand was placed gently on Marcy's shoulder causing the girl to jump and let out a frightened gasp. She turned quickly to face the intruder with a raised fist, but froze at the sight of her girlfriend Sasha. "Oh, Sashy! It was only you!" Marcy gasped letting out a relieved laugh.
"Well yeah, obviously, who else would it be?" Sasha replied. "So, what are we doing?" Sasha asked, leaning forward to glance at Anne.
"Mar Mar's helping me with my homework." Anne said. Sasha nodded slowly.
"Bo-ring!" Sasha replied, leaning back in her chair. "Thats a dumb way to spend a Friday afternoon."
"Well its better to have it done now and enjoy the weekend." Anne countered.
"I mean, you do what you'd like, but I'm doing mine Sunday." Sasha replied, waving her hand at Anne.
"What that means is Monday morning she'll be asking me for my answers ten minutes before Lady Olivia collects the work." Marcy stated.
"Wow, Marce, I'm wounded, when have I ever done that to you?" Sasha asked in a faux dramatic tone.
"Like, every other day! I mean, I don't mind doing it, but you really need to do you're own work sometimes, Sashy..." Marcy sighed, shaking her head.
"Come on Mar Mar its not every other day! I'd say every other week at best!" Sasha huffed.
"Thats a bold face lie." Anne laughed, returning her gaze to Marcy. "Think we could get back to my work now?" Anne asked, watching as Marcy's eyes widened.
"Yes! Of course! Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, we can do that!" Marcy rambled. "Okay where was I?" Marcy muttered, snapping her fingers. "Oh, right okay, so..." Marcy said, quickly returning to her rant. Sasha rolled her eyes and leaned forward in her chair. She lowered her head against the table as she tried to drown out Marcy's ramblings. As cute as they were Sasha was not in the mood to listen to Marcy rant about school related information. Marcy's mouth moved a mile a minute as she pointed out various things in the text book. Anne intensely followed her finger taking note of every single thing Marcy would point out. Finally after a solid fifteen minutes of rambling Marcy finally stopped. "Does that make sense?" Marcy asked.
"Yeah, totally!" Anne affirmed. "Thanks, Marbles!"
"No problem, Anna Banana!' Marcy replied, patting Anne's text book and leaning back into her chair. "Sash?" Marcy asked, poking her girlfriend.
"Hm?" Sasha replied. Her head still resting on the table.
"Are you okay?" Marcy asked.
"Yeah, I'm all good, girlfriend." Sasha affirmed, picking her head up. "Are you okay?" Sasha asked. Her tone noticeably softer.
"Yeah! I'm great!" Marcy cheerfully replied.
"Good to hear." Sasha replied, putting an arm around Marcy. "Sorry it took me so long to get here...Grime needed to talk strategy stuff with me." Sasha explained.
"It's alright, Sashy, I'm just glad your here now..." Marcy said, smiling gently.
"Yeah, we're thrilled you're here." Anne said, keeping her gaze to her books.
"Thanks for the input Anne." Sasha replied, chuckling dryly.
"No problem." Anne replied.
"Better me than Darcy." Sasha said.
"She's not that bad." Anne said. "She's just kinda..."
"Ominous." Sasha finished, as Anne nodded in agreement.
"Guys come on, don't talk about my sister like that. She's just her own person." Marcy protested.
"Yeah, a very strange person." Sasha replied. Marcy shot her a glare.
"Sasha." Marcy muttered. "If you were actually nice to her, you'd see that she isn't that bad." Marcy stated.
"She's strange in an endearing way." Anne said.
"You're only saying that cause you've got a thing for her." Sasha teased.
"Shut up!" Anne exclaimed, her face red.
"Awww, Annie's all red!" Sasha giggled. "Thats adorable! You've got it so bad for her don't you!"
"Shut up, Sasha, it's not funny!" Anne mumbled, burying her face deeper into her notes.
"It actually is pretty funny, Anne." Sasha stated. "Right Marce?" Sasha asked her girlfriend.
"Don't drag me into this." Marcy replied immediately. "You won't like my answer."
"You're not on my side?! Marcy, I'm wounded!" Sasha said, dramatically leaning into Marcy and burying her face into Marcy's shoulder.
"You're being a doofus." Marcy said, absentmindedly playing with Sasha's ponytail.
"Am not. Just fooling around." Sasha huffed, her voice muffled by Marcy's sleeve.
"Yeah, and that in turn makes you a doofus." Anne stated. "I'm about done with this Marcy...Then I think we can go...I'll do the rest later."
"I'll give you the answers on Monday." Marcy sighed.
"Thank you..." Anne muttered.
"Mhm." Marcy replied. "How many questions do you have left?"
"Three." Anne said, quickly writing in her note book.
"Okay." Marcy nodded. "Are you done pouting now?" Marcy asked Sasha softly.
"I'm not pouting! I'm just giving you attention cause you're so clingy." Sasha snapped defensively, quickly pulling back from her girlfriend.
"Sash..." Marcy started to say.
"Done!" Anne said, interrupting her friend. "Lets get out of here! I promised Sprig I’d meet up with him after I finished all my work!" Anne said, quickly gathering her books and shoving them into her bag. Marcy slowly copied Anne's actions and stood from her chair.
"Lets go, Sashy." Marcy said, holding out her hand. Sasha stood and took her girlfriends hand.
"Lead the way, girlfriend." Sasha said, letting Marcy tug her along.
