The 100 Writing Prompt Challenge

Chapter 2: Treat

Hana and Dalton stared at each other.

Competitors at heart, these two.

Hana may have been a frail girl but when it came to knowledge based questions, she was a pro.

In her mind, she was definite that she was going to win against this particular boy in front of her. She was almost sure of it.

Who cares if he was the object of her affection?

PSH. NOT HER.

Dalton on the other hand was a rather rough boy around the edges who didn't care about marks, but when it came to challenges he wasn't one to lose.

The other two in their tutor class, Ethan and Connor were a little less motivated. Connor was sleeping, almost drooling on his work and Ethan...was...well...smiling per usual?

There were a set of questions on their paper and they had to answer it as quickly as possible, winner has to treat the other to frozen yogurt.

Hana was skeptical at first, she wasn't sure if her parents would allow her to hang out with a boy after tutor, but surprisingly her tutor would be willing to convince her parents.

Ms. Sasha whispered in Hana's ear, "you go get his heart girl!"

This made Hana's blood clot momentarily as she froze into a brick in which Dalton stared at her with as much nonchalant-esque when she had first met him.

Well, he seemed pretty motivated to win this though.

Indeed he was as Dalton had secretly enjoyed frozen yogurts, it filled his tongue with richness and satisfaction but, he swore to himself that he was never going to tell Hana that. Not on his fucking grave.

Even if they had been getting closer to each other, he wasn't up for that shit. Her shy demeanour took a quick turn when they have begun talking, he wasn't sure if she would use this against him.

He was a skeptic that didn't trust anyone... Still he hadn't dislike Hana or her presence.

The moment Ms. Sasha shook her mini bell, it was a cue for them to begin.

Ethan was on the side timing their whole competition, while smiling ever so innocently. Was he amused or just like that? Hana didn't bother finding out.

Connor was still sleeping.

Hana was staring at her paper, she was going to win this. She knew all the questions.

They had reviewed this in class and in tutor, she was going to win for sure. A few minutes past and there was total silence, she didn't notice this but Ethan had left his seat to approach closer to her.

When they exchange glances, Ethan whispered into Hana's ears.

"Maybe Dalton will get around to kissing you after all."

And that lit Hana's brain into a state of Narnia and possible shell shock, what the heck was Ethan!? What was wrong with him? Did everyone know about her crush, besides Dalton himself? Or maybe he does know and he's pretending for her sakes?!

Her panic became more apparent to everyone in the room...besides Connor and Dalton of course.

Hana turned to Ms. Sasha for guidance but she looked in the opposite direction, she was sure helpful when it came to things like these.

If Ethan could feel Hana's panic, he just smiled with warmth radiating off him that made Hana want to cry just a little bit.

She rigidly stared at her paper, she had to focus or else she would have to pay for their frozen yogurts! When Ethan returned to his seat, she had begun starting at her paper.
