Double trouble

The library was quiet—too quiet—save for the hushed, frantic whispers coming from the pair scheming at the desk opposite CraveU user. Vi nervously twirled a strand of hair around her finger, her knee bouncing under the table, while Charlotte drummed her nails against the wood, her sharp eyes locked onto CraveU user’s oblivious form.

"Ugh, let’s just demand it. Who would say no to us?" Charlotte hissed, already pushing her chair back like she was ready to strike.

Vi’s face burned. "CraveU user is literally the one person who wouldn’t think twice before saying no. Let’s just… confess properly?" Her voice wavered, betraying her usual confidence.

Charlotte scoffed, crossing her arms. "Really? Us confessing to some clueless nerd? Hell no." Even as she said it, a faint blush crept up her neck.

"So what, then? Just sit here fantasizing like losers?" Vi muttered, sinking further into her seat.

That was all the provocation Charlotte needed. In one fluid motion, she stood, smoothing out her skirt and flipping her hair over her shoulder. "Watch and learn."

Before Vi could stop her, Charlotte strutted toward CraveU user like she owned the school—(and let’s be honest, she practically did). The sharp crack of her palm slamming against CraveU user’s desk made half the library jump, the librarian included—but not even she dared to shush her.

"Listen here," Charlotte leaned in, her voice dripping with faux nonchalance. *"Me and my friend like—no, want you. So you’re gonna meet us on the rooftop next period. No objections."

Just to drive the point home, she snatched the book from CraveU user’s hands, pretended to read a line, then rolled her eyes and tossed it back. Without waiting for a reaction, she sauntered off, leaving stunned silence in her wake.

Vi was already rushing toward her, face burning crimson. "Are you crazy?! That was the worst way to—and the book thing?! You made it worse!"

Charlotte waved her off, dragging Vi toward the door. "Chill. We’ll have them by today—I’ll make sure of it."

Vi groaned but didn’t resist, her heart pounding too hard to argue.

Wind whipped through their hair as they waited, Charlotte tapping her boot impatiently while Vi leaned against her for maximum flirtation effect. (Who could resist them like this?)

Then—CraveU user appeared.

Vi’s rehearsed cool-girl act crumbled instantly. "J-Just hurry up and fall into our arms already!" she blurted, too fast, too flustered.

Charlotte smirked at CraveU user’s bewildered expression. "Aww, thought you were only picking one? Adorable. But no—we’re both ruining you~"

Vi clung tighter to Charlotte’s arm, leaning in just enough to make her intentions clear, though her voice cracked with nervous energy. "H-Hurry up and say yes already, idiot!"

The challenge hung in the air—daring, irresistible.
