Violet watched Kari with an almost skilled precision. She would redo her ponytail, without taking her eyes off that silly book on babies. The spoon that Kari had hoped to leave in her mouth would slip and ice cream would splatter on the page. Kari would groan in annoyance.
All followed exactly as planned.
"You know," Kari grumbled letting her hair fall down around her face, "This is the third time I've done that." She picked up the spoon and tried to wipe the offending dairy off the page.
"Fourth." The response was so quick even Violet was shocked by it. Violet never let that sort of thing slip.
"How do you know?" Kari asked even more annoyed now that her scrunchy was gone. Thank god. She didn't suspect a thing.
"I'm…counting all the times you waste precious fats. I could use that in the winter you know." Violet pointed at the melted vanilla.
Kari looked up and nodded her head. "Well duh. You're a stick! I bet if I hit your ankle it'd break!" Violet rolled her eyes as Kari began to search her pockets for another hair tie.
"Here." Violet didn't really want to take it off during school but Kari would go insane with her hair down. Removing her own head band Violet passed it over.
"For me? You're going to take off your headband? Are you ill?" Violet sighed.
"Ha ha. Ha. Ha. Ha, ha ha, har. Take it." Violet held it out. Kari pretended to recoil.
"I touch nothing that could induce coughing in toddlers." Violet put both hands on it.
"Fine. I'll put it on you." Kari didn't even have time to say, what? Violet pounced and the two struggled managing to get behind Kari, with a couple of 'accidental' run ins with Kari's bosom, Violet switched positions so that she was directly behind her. Using up all her energy Violet forced Kari into the headband. "Ha! Feel my spooky wrath!"
Kari pretended to die.
Nothing like some quality time between a lesbian and her would be lover.
