They knew each other well enough to know they were both joking.

She'd toss her head back and laugh at the pickup lines the other girl had sent.

The other girl would bite her lip, waiting for a response.

Dress whirled, hair whipped around.

A friend stood there with a smile.

The short girl sighed, and pulled the taller girl by the arm.

The two fulfilled their friend's request.
