"What about the story when I had to drink sea--"

"Okay", Beatrice clapped her hands as she stood up, "We still need to wash the dishes", she then said as she grabbed some of the plates from the table

"I can do that onplates

"No, please let me help", Beatrice shook her head as she quickly walked to the sink, not even waiting for Andrea

Seeing Beatrice leaving, Harvey could not help but laugh "It would see a couple of times, "They took off before you could even start it!"

Beatrice could only sigh as Harvey's laughter reached the so suddenly", she said as she continued to wash the plates

"Nonsense", Andrea shook her head, "I have plenty of space in my room I will set it up and sleep on the floor"

"Are you sure?", Andrea chuckled, "I swing the other way"

"N… no one!", Beatrice's face was once again flushed red as she stuttered "W… we're all friends!"

"Oh?", Andrea chuckled teasingly "Evans is a cute boy, are you not interested in him?"

"N… no!", Beatrice shook her head vehemently, but after a few seconds, she abruptly stopped as she looked at the neashed plate in front of her, reflecting her flushed face, "But… I do admire him", she said

"He is someone I ained weight

"I see…", Andrea let out a tiny sigh, "Just don't let yourself be in the position of choosing between your friends or your goal", she said as she poked Beatrice's nose, placing a foam of soap on it
