       EFFY HATES GROUP PROJECTS. it’s not that she isn’t capable of working well with others, she just ... prefers not to do so. besides, it’s always exhausting to deal with other people’s schedules and foolish ideas — and that’s assuming they even make an effort to help at all in the first place. all that being said, she was less than pleased when her professor announced that they will indeed be working in groups for her psychology class this semester. even worse, the groups are assigned. she had hoped that she would get at least a somewhat useful partner assigned, but she quickly realized that that hope was in vain once she found out that eevie is her partner.

       it’s not that she necessarily has anything against the other girl, but— okay, maybe effy judges her. just a little. it’s just so clear how little the other girl cares about this class, and effy cannot for the life of her understand being so content with failure. 

       it doesn’t help that, currently, eevie is late meeting her at the library.

       NOAH ENTERS PRINCE’S OFFICE IN A WHIRLWIND, smile stretched across his face both wide and fake as he approaches the other man’s desk. “ good afternoon, mr. khim, ” he says cheerfully, ignoring ( as always ) prince’s distaste for being addressed so formally. “ don’t forget your meeting with the board of directors is soon. are you nearly ready ? ”

       without waiting for an answer, noah carefully sets prince’s fourth coffee of the day down on his desk, eagerly awaiting the moment that prince takes his first sip and realizes that noah has gotten it with several pumps of sweetener again. it’s typically about a 70/30 chance whether or not he gets prince’s coffee order right— not because he’s an idiot, but because he is petty, and this is one of the few ways he can take a vague, spiteful joy from his job on days when prince is being a particularly large thorn in his side.
