Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Leo teased, "You always say I'm not affectionate enough. Do I look like some thug to you, always getting handsy?"

Anya shook her head, murmuring softly, "But usually, you don't seem to like it much."

Leo demanded, "Louder."

Anya shook her head again, staying silent.

After giving his girlfriend a bit of a scare, Leo started to grill her about what was bothering him, "Tell me about Bill. How did you meet? How often do you talk? How's he doing in his studies? And earlier, you bypassed so many people just to ask another guy a question. Who is he? What's your relationship with him? He looks pretty dull. And there were two other guys there, sitting diagonally across from you, looking quite plain. What's their story? Why were they sitting across from you? And another one, you called him class president, he organized the study session, why did he call on you? Are you two close? I don't remember you mentioning them to me."

Despite being there for only a few minutes, Leo had a knack for remembering faces.

Anya stayed quiet.

"Speak up," Leo leaned back in his chair, watching Anya, starting his interrogation.

Anya carefully asked, "Chad, can you imagine how it feels when Henry talks, and all I hear is buzzing in my ears?"

Quick to respond, Leo retorted, "Of course, Henry's babbling, drooling mouth makes anyone's brain buzz. Wait a minute, why bring up that chubby kid?"

Anya nodded, "Because what you just said made my head buzz."

Realizing Anya was indirectly complaining, Leo lightly tapped her head.

Anya pouted, covering her head, frowning, "You asked too many questions, I can't remember them all."

"One at a time!" Leo insisted, known for his good memory. "Start with Bill."
