mmm, tea

"Do you think I should try out for swim team?" Andi asks her sister.

"I don't know, do you want to be on the swim team?" inquires Bella.

"Maybe, I don't know. It could be fun, and I'd get to be in the pool a lot."

"Then sure, go for it." Bella bites into her grilled cheese.

"Good to know," says Robin. "Thanks."

"You're welcome! I wouldn't want you to go into horrible tea withdrawal."

"Yeah, and neither would anyone else," says Robin.

"Are you very scary when you're in tea withdrawal?"

She grins. "You bet."

"What happens, do you get weird undercaffeinated paranoia and start trying to stab people?"

"Nah, I just get grumpy. Terrifyingly grumpy."

"Terrifying grumpiness! I'm scared!"

"You should be," laughs Robin.

"I tremble in fear that you will grumble at me and, um... rebuff social pleasantries. It'll be horrible."

She snorts.

"I'd never recover. It's a good thing I told you about the tea shop."

"Damn right."

"Anything else you need to know about lest you become grumpy?"

"Nah. As long as there's tea."

"Noted." Andi mimes writing this down.

Bella elbows her.

Robin laughs.

"Do you have English with Ms. Hawthorne or are you in a different section from me?"

"Yeah, Hawthorne."

"I can show you where it is," Andi says, glancing at the clock. "The rooms are numbered funny down that hall."

"Brilliant. You're a lifesaver."

The bell rings.

"This way." Off go all three girls.
