Lucky Me

Chapter 23- April 11

"Hey, See? Do you wanna go to that one cafe bookshop and study?" Cat peeks her head through the door to Selene's room. Selene, of course, had her nose in a book.

"Um, yeah, sure. When?" Selene asks, barely tearing her gaze away from the page. She really needed to get this assignment turned in by tonight and while she loves her sister, she can be pretty distracting.

"Now." Cat states before moving in and tugging the book away from Selene's hands.

"Hey!"

"Come on! Let's go!" She whines. Selene sighs and starts to pack her supplies up so she can leave, pointedly glaring at Cat while she packs the book the girl had snatched from her. Sometimes she doubted Cat was her older sister instead of the other way around. Cat skips from the room and grabs her own school work before meeting Selene at the entrance. The two decide to take separate cars since they both have class later and Cat still has dance. When the two arrive, they get in line to order their coffee. It doesn't take long for them to get their coffee and find a table near the stacks to study. Selene returns to her books quickly but it's hard to ignore the stare from across the table.

"Do you need something?" Selene asks a bit indignantly.

"I'm studying."

"My face?"

"Yes." Selene scoffs at the confidence in which her sister said the statement but smiles nonetheless and returns to her book. Cat must have started studying too since Selene could no longer feel the other girl's stare. The peace didn't last long before she saw Cat get up from the table and disappear into the bookshelves. What in the world is going on in her head? She watches curiously at the spot where her sister was last before the girl's head peeks back from behind the bookshelf.

"Come on!" Cat smiles and waves Selene to follow. Selene shakes her head. There was no way. She had to study for an exam she had in two days. There was no way she had the time to goof around right now. "Unfortunately you don't get a choice." Cat takes Selene's hand and drags her into the stacks.

"Cat I don't have the time to goof around," Selene protests as Cat explores the shelves and never lets go of her hand.

"Oh please! You left early from the guy's place on Saturday so you could study and didn't leave your room at all yesterday except to eat or use the bathroom."

"Well I have to take extra classes since I changed my major so I can keep up with the curriculum." Selene stumbles as Cat randomly starts in a random direction in the aisle. Where in the world are they going?

"Makes sense." Cat stops and stares at the books in front of her. Selene sighs and turns so she can return to her seat but is stopped when Cat shoves a book into her arms. "This looks like something you would read," Cat says as she tries to hide her giggle. Selene looks down to read the title before shifting a glare to her sister.

"Cat. This book just says 'This book is very Gay'." Selene wasn't mad or anything. In fact, she already owns this book.

"Perfect right?" Cat smiles at her sister.

"Okay then I'm going to find you a book," Selene responds before putting the book back and making a beeline for the cheesy romance section. Cat catches up to her as she stops to scan the spines.

"Okay, wait a sec. First of all, why the romance section? Second of all-" Selene places her perfect find into Cat's hands, who reads the title and then gives Selene an almost identical look to the one Selene gave earlier.

"Head over Heels?" Cat reads. "Okay, now I need to find a worse book for you." The two go back and forth for the next hour trying to one-up the other with books that either look like the stereotype they read or just a cover that looks like the other. When the time for class rolls around. They both walk out with room-temperature coffee and a book, Selene, despite what she said, looks a little less stressed than she did before.
