"So, diner later?" Inara asked as we drove to school
"For?" I asked
"For talking, eating, normal stuff people do together" She laughed.
"Okay" I agreed"Great" She smiled, looking out of the window
She looked pretty today. Her hair up and her jewellery shining in the sun

"Yeah of course" she said, easing the tension in my head"Good" I said quietly.

"You seem to be doing alright for yourself, lot of perks out of a fake boyfriend" she commented"Ivy" I scolded, looking around us
"Oh come on, you tell me you suck-"
"Stop right there" I interrupted
"Fine but I'm right. He's not even your real boyfriend and you're getting more action than me at the minute" she huffedYeah. He's not my boyfriend

"I asked you if you wanted one, you said no" she said"I know" I nodded

"So... you want to be a lawyer huh?" She brought up"Leave it" I brushed off
"No, come on. You never mentioned it before, what made you want to do law?" She asked
I thought about it
