Julianna was almost certain that he was flirting with her. Her ears pushed to attention as she observed his gestures and that crooked smile on his face. Classically flirtatious, though that smirk didn’t look as good on anyone else. She could have been mistaken. Julianna spent most of her time avoiding interactions with Owen, so it was possibly that he was this way with everyone. Well, even then, not everyone, because he was very rarely less than insufferable with her.
“Ah yes, because we are so few and far between.” She rolled her eyes and hid a smile behind her glass. She’d chosen root beer over actual beer. It wasn’t that she had a problem, just a low tolerance and one usually led to another and well…
She kept thinking of the last time she’d been drunk around Owen.
“I’m sure it’s not difficult for you to find women to eat cheeseburgers with.”
She turned her gaze away from him to fries that had been brought to the table. As with most things (everything) Julianna was picky about her fries. She preferred the ones that were a little bit under-cooked, still tender and a bit wiggly. The delight of crispy fries was lost on hers. She lifted a brow when he mentioned her pen to show she was listening. Finding a few perfect fry specimens, she popped one into her mouth as he reached into his pocket.
Julianna didn’t even bother to act surprised when he presented her pen to her. “Yes, Owen,” she replied in a monotone, brushing her fingers off on a napkin and snatching the pen away from him. “That is the pen I lent you several hours ago, that you promised to give back at the end of class.” She frowned at him, dropping the utensil into her bag.
She’d gotten her pen, but now she was forced to finish out this weird lunch with him. She wondered prompted this. Probably a stupid bet with frat brothers. It was always a stupid bet with frat brothers. Her ears twitched and she ate another fry.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
