A/N

So, here is the next part, I kinda have an idea where I'd like this short little story to go so I guess I'll see how far I get. Please let me know what you think with a reveiew so I know if I should try and keep it going!

Summary: Diana is calm, cool, and collected. She rarely loses her temper, certainly never at school or in public. But there is always that one exception...

Exams were in full swing and only halfway through the testing period everyone was exhausted. At lunch the Green, Blue, and Red teams were gathered together for the brief break as had been their usual arrangement recently. "Ugh!" Akko cried in an overly dramatic fashion. "This is even harder than last semester! I thought they'd give us a break since we saved magic and stopped a war!" She haphazardly flung herself across Amanda, feigning weakness.

"I'm sure you're aware that's generally how classes work, they get harder as you progress." Diana replied stiffly, eye twitching ever so slightly at the sight of Akko almost laying in Amanda's lap. Amanda might have laughed if she wasn't slightly afraid of Diana's wrath, though she would never admit it.

"Gah! Get off me! Stop being so ridiculous, its embarrassing!" Akko was unceremoniously shoved to the floor.

Akko made no move to get off the floor, "But I thought you liked cuddles?"

Amanda's ears turned slightly pink and suddenly the conversation had Diana's full attention, "Pf! What? No, why would you even say something like that?"

Sitting up Akko scrunched her face in thought, "Because last weekend when we all came to the Green team's room for a movie you were in the middle of the cuddle pile?"

Before Amanda could think of something to say Sucy pipped up, "She's not wrong, you looked super comfortable."

"It was really warm, actually. You should have sat with us all Sucy." Lotte smiled at the pale girl.

Sucy just shrugged, "I'm not particularly affectionate. I was in the same room, that's a lot of affection for me." Akko was nodding sagely in agreement.

"Can we get back to the important part of this conversation?" Came Diana's cold voice, Amanda flinched.

"The important part is that I don't cuddle, that's lame and way too girly." Amanda tried putting on her best indifferent face, but Diana remained unconvinced. Constanze's sign behind Amanda's head that read 'She's lying' did not help her cause. "Et tu Constanze?" Came Amanda's bitter voice as she snatched the sign away.

"I don't really see what the big deal is, we're all friends…" Akko said completely missing the building tension at the table.

"Dude, come on, I thought we agreed not to talk about it?!" Amanda hissed.

"About the cuddle pile?" Akko asked, tilting her head curiously.

Amanda face-palmed, before grabbing Akko by the front of her uniform and hauling her to her feet, "And we definitely agreed NOT to call it that!"

"Oh, I thought you meant in front of, like, other people. It's just our friends here. I didn't think it mattered." Akko was utterly unphased by Amanda's apparent ire.

Amanda's face became even redder and no one was sure if it was from frustration or embarrassment. The moment was broken as Diana slammed her hands on the table, standing up, "Lunch is almost over everyone would benefit from spending a few extra minutes studying instead of causing such a ruckus." Barbara and Hannah were staring at her wide eyed, they had not seen Diana that angry in quite some time. The outburst was even enough to startle Jasminka into pausing her munching and Constanze in her tinkering.

As Diana turned to leave Akko's voice made her pause, "Are we still studying together later?" Diana turned to see Akko's smiling at her cheerfully, clearly unaware of her irritation. The blonde's eyes narrowed as she glanced over at Amanda, seeing that she was still gripping the front of Akko's uniform, "If you aren't too busy…cuddling with random people later, then yes, feel free to come by to study." Diana replied coldly before turning to take her leave.

Akko's head tilted again, clearly confused by Diana's behavior, "That was weird." She turned to Amanda, almost nose to nose with her that this point, "Do you know what that was about?"

Amanda dropped her again and plopped back into her seat, "I can't even with you, its painful sometimes, you know?" Sucy and Lotte only nodded quietly as they continued eating.

After a moment Hannah spoke up, "You guys watched a movie without inviting us!?"

"That was your take away from all of that?" Sucy asked with her one eyebrow raised.

"Diana did seem rather upset; you don't think it was because we didn't invite her, do you?" Lotte asked in concern.

"I did invite her and the rest of the Blue team!" Akko protested hopping up from the floor. "She said you guys were too busy studying and that we should be doing the same since it was exam week. But a girl needs a break!" She declared gesticulating in the air wildly.

"First of all," Barbara started, "Always direct social invitations to me and Hannah, half the time we have to trick Diana into taking break from studying. If you go to her, she won't even tell us, obviously."

"Second," Hannah continued looking at Sucy, "Yes, that was the important take away. I mean, if Diana had gotten that upset at someone else it would be weird. But Akko's always been able to make her that mad, you know?"

After a moment of contemplation, the entire table nodded in agreement, conceding Hannah's point. Diana always kept her cool no matter what, even Amanda couldn't really rile her up, but Akko was definitely the exception.

"Hey! I'm still here you know!" Akko pouted. "And how is it my fault Diana was upset?"

Amanda and Sucy groaned, while Lotte giggled, but no one would answer Akko no matter how much she continued to pout.
