Helanie:
"What are you doing, Helanie, with my stash?" Lamar asked as he sat down in the chair next to mine, his body hunched over so our faces were on the same level.
"Oh, it's drugs?" I attempted the worst acting ever.
"What else did you think it was?" he replied with a small smile, probably thinking how stupid and naïve I was.
"I thought it was some sort of candy powder," I said, barely finishing my sentence before he snorted out a laugh. I almost punched him for laughing at me.
"You're so adorable, Helanie. But nope! Don't do that," he said, snatching the bag out of my lap. His sudden compliment caught me off guard.
"But—" I started to protest, only to stop when he raised a finger, silencing me.
