~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ever since their last meeting, in class and their following meetings Sierra and Dean had been childishly bickering, without their usual nasty comments to avoid hurting each other. Since it is clear neither of them are mean people. Someone watching them wouldn't be able to tell that they are walking on eggshells around each other. They try not to personally attack each other anymore. They just make snide comments so one another can quickly retort. Every class when they have some time to work on projects professor Holt watches the two exchange unfriendly remarks and thinks to herself like Lilian and Thomas do that they are more similar than they think. She thinks that one day soon that the passion for hating each other will turn into a different type of passion.

Sierra's Pov

"Slide four needs a deeper analysis; it doesn't fully cover what the story is about, what Hemingway was trying to convey." Sierra complained.

"Are you trying to say I don't know what I'm doing?" Questioned Dean.

"Well...I mean a seventh grader could do a more detailed explanation than you did." Sierra said. Dean chuckled and retorted, "Yeah and a fifth grader would have less grammatical errors than you did in your slides."

"You're a dick." Sierra said.

"Yeah, so what does that make you?" Deans teased.

"I think we should scrap your slides. You should completely retake every high school English class and then come back and do your part." Sierra said with a superficial grin.

"Yeah and I think you should reread every book five times and maybe then you'll actually understand what Hemingway was trying to say." Dean taunted back.

They became increasingly louder with every taunt and their classmates began side eyeing them and whispering about their insults in shock. Professor Holt couldn't help but quietly chuckle at their childish insults and shake her head. She still has faith they will get along soon.

Eventually class was over and Sierra and Dean headed out the door and parted ways to their dorms happy to be free of each other.

"Sierraaaa" Lilian said in a sing-songy voice. "Yes, Lil's!" Sierra answered.

"So, I saw this flyer." Lilian showed Sierra a bright pink flyer about a party on campus. "A bunch of people in my classes and around campus have been talking about it, we should go. Maybe you can get your mind off your big project."

"Okay, if you really want to, I'll go. It might actually be fun." Said Sierra. "One thing though, I have nothing to wear."

"Wait actually I have nothing either. Does that mean we can go shopping?" Lilian asked excitedly.

Dean's Pov

"Bro." Thomas approached Dean. "There's this party tomorrow night we should totally go."

Dean looked at Thomas as if he was dumb. "You know I'm not into parties."

"Went to a lot in high school. Why can't we now?" Thomas asked.
