She had always found her... Let's say, interesting.

No, not because she had a crush on her, Kim was just simply interesting, in every sense possible; Maloi couldn't help but stare each time she jumped in cheer practice, or the way she'd change out of her clothes in the locker room... But no, it's not a crush, that's silly — if she really had to put a word for it, it'd be fascination. Simply, simply fascination. Nothing more.

"Hey," she suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind her. Just a little scare and she's already flinching like a hamster. Adorable. "We should get ice cream now. Cheer's got me exhausted." It wasn't an invitation, it was a demand. Kim has to come, of course she had to. Otherwise, how'd Maloi's gonna get to know her object of attraction on a deeper level?
