"So do you want to talk?" Pedro said after at least 5 minutes of total awkwardness. He turned and looked at Ifechi when she didn't respond. 
He cleared his throat. 
"Do you want to gist?" He repeated.
She sighed whilst scribbling furiously on a fresh page. "Gist about what?"
He shrugged. "I dunno, anything..."
"...well I'm not in the mood to talk about anything..." She said stressing the last word. "...and besides, as you can see I am very busy" she said motioning to the note on her laps.
"Now that's exactly what I want to gist about, what's up with you and Grace?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you've been acting weird lately, like a puppet"
She stopped writing and frowned at him.
"Ok sorry I didn't mean it like that"
She hissed.
"But..."
"Mind your business!" 
He raised his hand in surrender. "Alright"
"Good" she said and went back to writing.
"I'm still curious yunno..." He started after a few seconds, Ifechi groaned in response.
"What?"
"Just answer me, why are you writing her notes?"
"Who said I'm writing her notes?" Ifechi sassed. He looked at her as if to say "are you serious?"
"Urgh fine! If you must know...." Ifechi said preparing to reiterate the lie she'd invented that morning. "I owe her"
"Uh hmm.." he said folding his arms and nodding his head. He clearly didn't believe her.
"What?" She scowled.
"That's a lie" he stated making her scowl to deepen.
Ifechi hissed. "Don't believe na." she went back to writing her notes.
"She's got something on you" he stated rather than ask, Ifechi's hands paused for a second before resuming.
"Yunno if you tell me what's really going on, maybe I can help you...who knows?" He said again.
"Yeah right...thanks but no thanks" she replied rolling her eyes.
"A problem shared is a problem half solved..." He said in a song-like manner.
She scoffed in reply. "Or a problem turned gossip of the town"
"Come on, you know I'm not like that"
She only hmmed in response.
"So t...."
"Gosh you're disturbing me!" She said hitting the top of the book, her pen flew off in the process. He picked it up and gave it to her, smiling.
"Yunno if you tear her book, you'll be in real trouble right?" He teased and Ifechi wanted to slap that smirk off his face.
"Whatever, just stop talking to me."
"I'm sorry but that isn't possible, I'm bored and you're the only one here.  You'd have to find another place to slave away your time if you don't want to interact with me"
