"Lillette," I hear next to me suddenly. I jump, turning to where I heard it. And it just happens to be Emmet. He looks at me smiling. Veronica smirks at me, giving me a nudge on the arm, as she walks away leaving me with Emmet.
I feel my cheeks get heated. I walk up to him slowly.
"Hey," I say.
"Uh hi," he says. "Heard you got a perfect score on the test. And I'm the one with enhanced intelligence, and I got four wrong."
I raise my eyebrows.
"Really?" I say weirdly.
"Yeah, my friends gave me so much crap for it." he says with a chuckle. I giggle, awkwardly, looking down at the floor. We stand there for a few long seconds, until he says something.
"Hey, um... are you free, like right now? Because I have my free period now... I don't know about you, but thought you'd may wanna..." his voice trails off.
"...Go for a walk... around the grounds...?" I finish for him. He stares at me, as if he doesn't know what I think yet.
"Um, yes. It can be as friends... or it can be as like... you know, more than that..." he says to me.
My emotions are exploding inside, but I'm keeping my cool.
"Um...... yeah!" I exclaim. "Sure!"
Emmet smiles brightly.
"All right! All right! Nice!" he exclaims. "Wait like right now?"
"Yeah! Yeah! Why not? Heh!" I exclaim chuckling.

I talk as he hands me the cheeseburger he snuck from the cafe.
"Wow, you really know how to sneak in and sneak out of things." I say unwrapping the burger, referencing to the time they were in the cage during Jamie's plan. He snickers.
"Heh, well, it is kind of my thing." he says sitting down next to me in front of the window, watching the sun set, the sky turning pink absent. I take a bite of the burger, the same old flavor as ever, but somehow incredibly delicious.
"Oh my God, the same old flavor but somehow I love it every time." I say chewing. Emmet giggles.
"Wow. You like to eat cheeseburgers and you're a twig." he says. I roll my eyes.
"Yeah see my friends, they force themselves to get eating disorders. If you wanna sit at their table, you have to eat only fruit and vegetables. But that is not, stopping me from getting this delicious meal in just maybe even once a week." I say.
"Wow, do they know?" asks Emmet. I turn over to him smirking.
"No they do not," I say. "And I have no regrets whatsoever."
He snickers, "Ha nice!"
I nod, chewing. A while passes.
"Hey, you got any other powers besides illusion and telepathy?" asks Emmet.
