“You know, there are better things we can be doing on your birthday.”
Sam glanced over at Ruby and smirked. “I’ll still have a birthday next year. You need to pass this exam.” It was finals season, and they were inches away from graduation. Sam just had to get Ruby to pass physics, and it wasn’t coming as easily to her as it was to him. They had been sitting at a table outside the student center for the past three hours, trying to narrow down the basic principles in a way that actually made sense. There was a half-eaten serving of fries next to them, and he reached over to pop one in his mouth. “Focus.”
She smirked a bit, before leaning forward so that her mouth was inches from his. “This exam isn’t until Wednesday. We could celebrate today and still have time to study tomorrow.” She grinned. “Besides, I’m pretty sure we could make the conservation of energy a lot more interesting … ”
He grinned a bit, tipping his chin forward a bit as though he was going to kiss her, before whispering. “We’re celebrating with my mom later. You’ll have me all night. Physics first, then fun.”
She pouted at him. “You’re such a bore. Why am I dating you again?”
“Because I’m helping you pass physics.” He pulled back from her, turning the text book around to face him again. His fingers wandered over to one of the yellow cups sitting next to them, and Ruby groaned, her head flopping down into the table.
“Not the stupid Play-Doh again.”
