Tobby stops eating. “I THINK, this is the fifteenth time you scoff.”



“Thirty-seventh, actually. Pffts count too, you know.” Eyes in slits, Benjamin begins to bite his nails.



Tobby points his biscuit at his mate, “Honestly, you should stop staring at the couple. Give them some privacy.”



“They’re openly dating in a school canteen and you’re thinking they want privacy? Look at em beetles!” Ben chucks his apple core through the air and it hit a random boy.



Tobby turns to watch the lovebirds behind him.



The girl giggles, “No, you eat it.”



“I’m good. You can have it,” blushes the boy.



Ben spits out apple bits, “Did that boy just blush?”



Tobby swallows, “Yuck.”



“Shoot me, mate. SHOOT ME. NOW!”



“Give me a gun and I’ll do it.”



“…know what? Let’s just get back to the film.”



“Stop stealing my biscuits.”



“In this case, I call them popcorns.”



With that, they turn back to watch.



“Aw shucks, I said, you should eat it!” the girl dips her head.



“It’s okay. You love chocolate cakes, right? Go for it,” insists the boy.



“But I want to see you eating it. I love the way you chew your food…”



Ben’s fist slams onto the table, but he keeps his eyes on the couple, “Why did we choose this seat again, Tobby?”



“Because you wanted a better view of the film?”



“Know what? Next time, kill me before I do it again.”



Lover Boy chuckles, “Go on and eat it already. Here I’ll feed you.”



“That’s chivalrous, but I still want you to have it.”



“Aww…”



“That’s it!” Ben hurls his biscuit onto the ground, and flounces towards them, his hair bouncing about.



Lover Boy holds out a spoonful, “Here, have a first lick, my candy girl.”



The girl opens her mouth, about to eat it when Ben stomps into their bubble of love, “YOU CAN LICK MY FEET INSTEAD, BEETLES! HA!”



Snatching up the plate, Benjamin wolfs down the whole cake. “See? PROBLEM SOLVED! AND YOU’RE WELCOME! DOUBLE HA!”



“You mean haha?” Lover Boy doesn’t seem to mind the cake.



“Oh my god,” Ben turns to Tobby, “I command you, mate, SHOOT ME THIS VERY INSTANT!”
