I laughed and threw my head back as I watched Won-Yung try to imitate Lotus's taunting. We just finished our meet and of course we won, Lotus laughed harder causing me to smile. I was happy that she was smiling, sometimes I'll catch her zoning out but I was happy we were distracting her.

"I do not do that." Lotus laughs.

"Yes you do, once you pass them you start waving." Won-Yung chuckled.

She laughed and shook her head re adjusting her duffle bag. I swiftly took it from her hands as we continued walking to the school parking lot.

"Whatever." She chuckled.

"Are you guys going to celebrate?" Won-Yung asked.

"No-"

"Yes, can you believe Lotus still hasn't been to a karaoke lounge?" I asked interrupting her.

She looked at me before focusing on Won-Yung.

"You have to go." Won-Yung said.

She looked between us and huffed before nodding.

"Fine. I want to go home first and shower. We can ride together." She said.

"Deal." Won-Yung smiled.

They high fived each other letting there forearms pass before they low fived one another.

"Race you home?" Won-Yung asked walking to his car.

"Deal." She said getting into her car.

She rolled her window down as I leaned down on the hood.

"I still have your duffle." I said.

"Throw it in the back." She said.

I nodded opening the backseat. I placed it into the car before closing the door.

"COME ON!" Won-Yung yelled honking his horn.

She laughed.

"See you later." She said putting on her seatbelt.

I stepped back as she backed out of the parking spot.

"PLEASE DRIVE SAFE!" I yelled.

Lotus honked before they both took off, I shook my head.

"Hey Kang."

I looked up too see Ingrid.

"Ingrid? What are you still doing here?" I asked.

"I always watch your meets. Congrats on the win by the way." She said.

I scratched my head, this was awkward.

"Thanks, are we uh good?" I asked.

"Yeah. I was on my way to chess club." She said pointing over her shoulder.

I nodded.

"Oh ok, well I'll see you." I said.

"Yeah, see you." She said.
